President Donald Trump called his Cabinet to meet Tuesday morning as the administration insists that it was lawful for the U.S. military to launch a secondary strike on an alleged drug boat in the Caribbean Sea in September. Experts in the military code say this was clearly illegal, but The White House said Monday that Navy Vice Adm. Frank "Mitch" Bradley ordered the second strike and was "within his authority and the law."
And then Trump is trying to become king. If you look at this attempt to grab the authority over tariffs from the U.S. Congress, that is a king move. He wants to be the power man to decide on all taxes involving imports. He's clearly up to that. And he also is doing it with the filibuster. Everything Trump is doing is to grab more power and to become a king, he added.
Yet Trump last month signed a proclamation "restricting entry unless employers make a $100,000 payment with the petition." The proclamation stated companies were abusing the scheme, suppressing wages, laying off domestic workers, and undermining economic and national security. Trump took particular aim at IT outsourcing companies in the proclamation, citing research that computer science and engineering graduates were facing worse prospects than biology and even art history graduates. Nothing to do with GenAI then.
No, it's simply a factually accurate statement that when a judge assumes for him or herself the powers that have been delegated by the Constitution to the president, that that is a form of illegal insurrection.
Illston appeared to agree with the plaintiffs, asserting in the hearing that Supreme Court precedent makes clear that while the president does have the authority to seek changes at agencies, he must do so in lawful ways. She went on to say that critical transformations of the type Trump is attempting to carry out 'must have the cooperation of Congress.'
