Why aren't the owners of the bars and restaurants where the servers are being shortchanged on tips making up the difference when little or no tips are left? Better yet, pay servers and workers enough so they don't need tips. /1 www.yahoo.com/news/us/arti...

The fact is DeJoy was ready and eager to implement this EO. Happy that there are judges who still will abide by the Constitution. Unlike the MAGA SC justices who fully support the Unitary Executive, even though no mention in Constitution. www.yahoo.com/news/politic...

Good that a judge over ruled Trump's EO before it was implemented. The Constitution says power to regulate elections relies with states, not the president. www.yahoo.com/news/politic...

Starmer acted more like a Conservative than a Labour party leader. Yes Farage and his Reform party and other ultra right wing parties are gaining members by saying that GB woes are due to immigration, but repeating a lie does not make it true. /1 www.yahoo.com/news/world/a...

Newsom is on the wrong side of the data centers war. CA is a drought state and not requiring DCs to provide basic environmental info like proposed water usage should be required by law. Look what is happening with the DC in Imperial Valley. www.yahoo.com/news/politic...

The agreement isn't official until it is signed on Friday. Trump needed this agreement before he left to go to G7 conference in France. Than there is the wildcard: Israel. Netanyahu is not happy about this agreement and may just blow it up, figuratively and literally. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Denaturalizing American citizens will be a harder hill to climb. Unlike deportation hearings of immigrants where immigration judges preside, denaturalization is presented in Federal Court and a Federal Judge makes the final decision. www.yahoo.com/news/politic...

Not totally surprising. Trump is using the DOJ as his personal legal firm and telling them who to go after. Trump owes Carroll millions of dollars but is appealing the judgments, so he hasn't paid anything. www.yahoo.com/news/politic...

I don't believe anything substantial was achieved by Trump during private talks with Xi. I don't think he had any true agenda, just general discussions on Iran and Taiwan. More interested in what Musk, Tim Cook, Nvidia CEO, and Eric Trump achieved during this trip. /1 www.yahoo.com/news/article...

This is not good. Those taxes are used to pay for infrastructure repairs. Suspending the taxes means either a) repairs are delayed or canceled or b) the government will need to borrow money to make up for the loss of tax revenue. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

A not surprising ruling given Roberts hostility towards the Voting Rights Act. And a reason why we need a Dem majority in the House and Senate. All Dems running for the House or Senate must state they will pass a new Voting Rights act if elected. www.yahoo.com/news/article...
