  • Hispanics’ support of Trump plunges since he started second term

    Jump

  • Many were folks who came here via some "legal" means who looked at those crossing during Biden and resented them. That hatred of folks just trying to find a better life now has an entire gestapo ready to arrest and deport anyone who looks too brown to be in American.

    They thought that all that paperwork made them whole in the Republican eyes. They thought those words saying they were a citizen was enough to made confessed racist look the other way. But an administration that doesn't care about the law, doesn't care about what status a sheet of paper says.

    That's what's so crazy about letting your hate get to you. That hate comes back to bite you.

  • 'Material factual error': 9th Circuit reverses victory for Trump admin in National Guard case after discovery shows feds lied about troop numbers in Oregon

    Jump

  • a three-judge panel on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit, in a 2-1 ruling, stayed a temporary restraining order (TRO) issued by U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut, who was appointed by President Donald Trump during his first term in office.

    US District Judge Karin Immergut is a Federal District Judge for the United States District Court for the District of Oregon. A district court is the trial courts of the US federal judiciary, so for Federal cases start here.

    Justice Immergut issued a temporary restraining order (TRO) against the US Government. This "enjoins" or "prohibits" an action. This action was the deployment of troops to Oregon. TROs have a really high bar because courts are not supposed to carry out any kind of action without a full trial. A TRO usually comes before a full trial can be had because there's some sort of emergency that requires no delay. There's a whole slew of standards to when a TRO can be issued and cannot be issued.

    Once a TRO is issued, the defendant (who it is that is enjoined which would be the President) is allowed a review of that TRO by the appeals court that the district court resides in. There are 13 of them. The first through the eleventh circuit court of appeals, The DC Court of appeals, and the Federal Court of appeals (which is one that hears specific cases under very specific jurisdiction).

    There are a lot of judges that sit on a circuit court, just depends on which one you're talking about, Congress usually creates a new seat in the circuit based on population, case load, or whatever. The ninth circuit is the court that the District Court for the District of Oregon resides in. The ninth circuit is the largest, it has 29 active judges and 24 senior judges. The senior judges don't actively participate in the Courtroom but they can write opinions, issue particular things, and so forth to help out the active judges. Basically, they are at the step just before retirement.

    The active judges break out into groups of threes where they can and sit alone if the must. The entire point is to fill as many courtrooms in the circuit as they can so that they can get lots of case load done. Remember this is a circuit court, so there's no one building for them, there's multiple courtrooms for them all over the ninth circuit which is California to Alaska, Hawaii, Guam, and the Northern Mariana Islands. So they've got a lot of ground to cover for all of them.

    A panel of three judges hears any appeals from the district court and then rules on if the district court was justified and followed all of the various rules. But there's no telling which three judges (I mean there is a schedule so there's that) you might get, they're all moving around and trying to keep things moving.

    Okay so that three panel judge stayed (puts on pause) the TRO.

    By Friday, the full 9th Circuit administratively stayed the panel's own stay – "[w]ithout objection from the panel," an order notes.

    This isn't an actual hearing. An administrative review is like a Zoom meeting between all the Judges and they talk about the cases they had, vent, and what not. During that review, one of the Judges pointed out a piece of evidence that attorneys for the State of Oregon submitted that the President lied about the troop deployment. The panel during their Zoom meeting voted and they stayed (put on pause) the stay of the TRO.

    But an administrative review is NOT a proper trial.

    Now, the stay of Immergut's first TRO is paused until Oct. 28, "to allow the completion of the pending en banc proceedings," the court noted.

    En banc means to get ALL OF THE JUDGES together to have a formal hearing. So all 29 now have to come together and have a hearing. Now that might be via Zoom or something, I'm not entirely clear on the process of the Ninth for their en banc, each court sets the rules on when Zoom is allowed or not. But all 29 now have to hear the case. So the stay of the first TRO is paused, or the court stayed the stay of the first TRO. Meaning the TRO many continue to enjoin the President's actions.

    There's a second TRO that's out there. Basically it's filed under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA). The APA formalizes the process by which the Executive branch's Department's may do things. You know how there's regulation? Regulation isn't LAW. Law requires both chambers of Congress to approve something and the President sign off on it. Regulation/Rule making/etc... is a Department doing something "within the confines of the law". Say like Congress says build me a highway. The Transportation Departmentwill then issue a determination that includes blueprints and what not for the highway in the law. The APA indicates the manner by which they have to do that. With public review, publishing on https://www.federalregister.gov/, etc...

    This second TRO is based on something not followed in the APA.

  • Trump suggests US will buy Argentinian beef to bring down prices for American consumers

    Jump

  • This whole idea avoids two big issues at stake.

    • The United States dollar is weakening.
    • American Ranchers are in desperate need of help to increase domestic production.

    With the US dollar weakening, this creates economic risks for purchase orders of Argentinian beef. There will need specific policy assurances in place and market controls by both Governments to ensure that a continuing weakening US dollar doesn't commit retailers to beef that does nothing to move price to consumer.

    There would need to be ever increasing tariff controls in place and if Trump does not make the midterms, there is a good chance that Congress could curtail his usurping Article I powers from Congress. This could come at a time that would be critical for quick adjustments and if retailers have put in orders that jump suddenly or orders that just get cancelled.

    Record high retail beef prices in the US in 2025 are driven by low domestic cattle supplies and strong demand. This is due in part to several post pandemic droughts the world over. Additionally, changing trade policy has made steady market planning by US cattle producers that much more difficult. The volatility paired with natural factors has cause beef production within the United States to plunge. Independent farmers of beef are in need and losing the battle to commercial beef production that continue to use their market position to maintain higher beef prices and lower production.

    There needs to be movement on multiple fronts within the United States to ensure a healthy beef production that can match the demand being seen. Simply importing Argentinian beef, slaps a band-aid on a wound that's in critical need of prompt attention. And failure to address the complexities of what's driving beef prices higher and just simply applying a stop-gap issue that does nothing long term, will ensure that beef prices don't actually move anywhere in the foreseeable future.

    If this whole thing was part of some larger domestic improvement plan, that would be a different story. But this President is widely known for half assing, or quarter assing, or concepts of a planning his way through his term. There's no way that there's some larger strategy involved here. And so what the President is doing is attempting to curry favor with Argentina and Milei by putting long term US beef viability at stake (no pun intended).

    I expect nothing less from the guy. This is just a foolish plan that is going to blow up in someone's face a few years down the road. This idiot in the White House is just hoping that he isn't that guy left holding the bag when it does.

  • When my uncle was president, the fertility rate in this country was 3.5%. Today, it is 1.6%. The replacement rate, in other words the amount of fertility that you need in order to keep your population even, is 2.1%. We are below replacement right now. That is a national security threat to our country and we know why this is happening, and President Trump is addressing the root causes through his MAHA agenda of reducing endocrine disruptors, the exposure to chemicals that decrease fertility.

    You can't debate that. Mostly because it's just illogical altogether. It would like trying to convince someone that pasta doesn't taste like clay bricks. There's no logic to the initial argument, you can't logic that away.

  • Americans, what do typically have for breakfast?

  • A glass of water. About an hour later a cup of coffee. For lunch I usually have a slice of bread toasted, with butter and jam followed by a cup of coffee.

    This pretty much every day.

  • ‘Death to Spotify’: the DIY movement to get artists and fans to quit the music app

    Jump

  • Streaming is all the bad things about the music industry but made a thousand times worse. The pay outs, the requirement of specific laws surrounding streaming that make it different than every other method of music delivery, the lack of control by the consumer, the lack of any kind of ownership, the requirement of always online connectivity, and on.

    I don't want to be that boomer type person, but I'm pretty happy with staying with my CD and DVD collection that I have. I have a massive amount of portability, archiving, and it just works wherever I want to work. No fees, no internet required, and I have an immense amount of control over everything.

    This is just one of those things that I'm glad that I didn't get into this. It has sounded terrible since it was first pitched and I think it's only gotten worse.

  • Stephen Miller may have just accidentally confirmed that he, not President Donald Trump, is the one calling the shots in regard to deportation raids and National Guard deployments.

    Wait was this an actual question? Yes, Trump's brains are mush. Dude likely couldn't recall what's on a tortilla and beef only taco.

    There are zero ways that Trump is actually calling jack shit.

  • They completely fabricated the official report they turned in like it wouldn't come out later that they absolutely lied about the report.

    These fuck sticks in a just society would be looking at prison time under 18 U.S.C. § 1621, 18 U.S.C. § 1505, and 18 U.S.C. § 1001. But it has become so routine to just look the other way.

    Stressful situations are what they are, but reports are filed LONG AFTER the situation happened. There should be no reason ICE lies the way it does on a regular basis. People need to be going to prison to understand that these laws under Title 18 mean something.

    Same thing I was saying about Trump leaving in 2020. He might be gone, but the people who found him useful aren't. Whatever we attribute to Trump, the thing to remember is that Trump is just the outlet. There's a whole wellspring that is the source of his vitriol.

  • doesn't mean the left needs to take them seriously

    I don't take them seriously. My concern is those on the far-right who will take them seriously and bring harm to their unborn child. A lot of my concern about the far-right's antiscience isn't because I believe it will hurt me. It is because I believe it will hurt them.

    If parents want to have a child, I wish them to have a healthy and wonderful child who will go on to have an amazing life, likely better than the one I had. I want their child to live a life I could never have had. But ignoring sound science about how to go about having a child that is healthy, is needlessly putting that child's life at risk.

    I'm not really concerned about me. Oddly, I am more concerned about them. I value their freedom and ultimately they have the final say, but there's just no need to put others at risk or in harm because of those freedoms.

    I just want it to be extremely clear here. Their antiscience doesn't really phase me and it's effect are not where my concern is born. It's what that antiscience will do to their children that concerns me. It's a free nation, they are allowed to go down that road, but I can still be concerned.
