    Here come the tariffs

    I'm saying there's a chance the President is justified in some or all of his tariff decisions. I really don't know what he's trying to accomplish or who got in his head regarding tariffs and really could care less if the Supreme Court rules against him. The laws should be followed in the Supreme Court's decision. I'll let them decide and I will accept their decision as they know way more about this than I ever could or want to even try to learn.

    Here come the tariffs

    While Congress had close control over tariff rates for the first 150 years of the nation's history, it has, since the 1930s, passed legislation that delegates significant authority to the President to negotiate and adjust tariffs under specific circumstances, such as for national security or in response to unfair trade practices by other countries. Nonetheless, all tariffs fundamentally originate from the authority granted to the legislative branch by the Constitution. Delegation of authority: Over time, particularly after the Great Depression and the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930, Congress began delegating more authority to the President to negotiate trade agreements and adjust tariffs. Evolution of power: While Congress still retains the ultimate power to set tariffs, the President has been given the ability to act under specific laws passed by Congress, often as part of foreign policy and trade negotiations.

    France celebrates the Mamdani victory

    Not all Muslims here assimilate to our culture, not at all. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev told federal agents that he and his brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, were motivated by extremist Islamic beliefs. Their actions were a response to the U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, which they viewed as the oppression of Muslims, and they believed the Boston Marathon victims were "collateral damage".
