@JoumannaTV I think we’re to the point where we can put quotes around that title

@SportsSturm It’s almost to the point where someone is going to have to contract a “roof to remain open unless weather prohibits” clause for these teams to get their gub’ment check to build a stadium

My best advice to young people. 👇🏼
Put the phone down.
Stop scrolling.
Stop the social media.
Stop the video games.
Pick up a book. Read Aurelius. Read the Iliad. Read Shakespeare.
Give yourself a real education.
I'm going to say something directly to the young men in the room right now.
You're not going on dates. You're not socializing. You're not building real relationships with real people in the real world.
I'm trying to be honest with you in a way that someone should have been a long time ago.
The algorithm is designed to keep you exactly where you are.
Comfortable. Isolated. Scrolling. Consuming. Going nowhere.
Real life happens when you put the device down and walk out the door.
Go on a date. Have a conversation. Make a friend. Take a risk. Be uncomfortable. Be present.
The phone will still be there when you get back.

@SportsSturm @oldwaver Didn’t say that. Here in LA, there’s no shortage of soccer fans, so they’ll be full. Just saying that the international tourism hasn’t played out.

@JoeTrietsch @oldwaver are you suggesting they won't sell out World Cup games? I see zero chance of that. Maybe less.

Thank you, @grok. I'm grateful that we have the artificial-intelligence capability to so easily keep track of our Commander-in-Chief's head-spinning lack of natural intelligence.

@gtconway3d Since my 12oz bag of coffee beans is now up $2, can I just rub it until the inflation goes away?

To be fair, the word means something different to her in a dark theatre.

Lauren Boebert is asked to define “inflation.” It does not go well.

Justice Gorsuch wrote a separate concurring opinion:
He joins the majority opinion in full, rejecting the claim that the President has “the power to impose tariffs on practically any products he wants, from any countries he chooses, in any amounts he selects.” This power, he writes, is lodged “in Congress alone.” “Americans fought the Revolution in no small part because they believed that only their elected representatives (not the King, not even Parliament) possessed authority to tax them.”
He defends the major questions doctrine in response to Justice Kagan’s criticism. He notes that Justices Kagan, Sotomayor, and Jackson would have upheld broad delegations from vague statutes under the Biden Administration, so their opposite view here must rely on some larger principle such as here where the action “will affect the entire national economy.”
To uphold separation of powers, courts must scrutinize delegations carefully because it is a one-way ratchet: “Once this Court reads a doubtful statute as granting the executive branch a given power, that power may prove almost impossible for Congress to retrieve.” A ruling for the President here would allow future Presidents to “impose tariffs on gas-powered vehicles to respond to climate change” or “on virtually any imports for any emergency any President might perceive”; “What President would willingly give up that kind of power?”
He responds at length to Justice Barrett’s opinion on whether the major questions doctrine is an independent doctrine or just an element of statutory interpretation.
He says the dissent “engages in a little grade inflation” when applying the major questions doctrine and rejects their proposed foreign affairs or emergency exception as too broad. He characterizes Justice Thomas’s opinion as suggesting “that Congress may hand over most of its constitutionally vested powers to the President completely and forever.”
