Wow! All this time I've been thinking that the copper ethernet cable from my router connecting to my FIOS Fiber last-mile connection ONT works like a charm! I must be imagining typing this! That you Mr President Sir for setting me straight!

Warning: new text scam. This one almost got me (enough to click on the link) but it went to a fake Amazon login at "awaznizon.co" so BitWarden didn't recognize it & refused to fill in the login. That's a major reason to use a good password vault, BTW.

The Idiot-In-Chief threatens RU with tariffs, and doesn't understand that, due to existing sanctions, Russian imports to the US are virtually nil

(leaving aside the idiocy that tariffs are a tax on the US purchaser, not the seller)

An "Executive Order" cannot override a law. EOs are based on delegation of power in laws. And the current SCOTUS has spent the past few years working their little hearts out to gut the power of EOs; but presumably that only applies when it's a Democratic President issuing the orders.
![From Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_order:
The United States Constitution does not have a provision that explicitly permits the use of executive orders. Article II, Section 1, Clause 1 of the Constitution simply states: "The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America." Sections 2 and 3 describe the various powers and duties of the president, including "He shall take care that the Laws be faithfully executed".[4]
The U.S. Supreme Court has held[5] that all executive orders from the president of the United States must be supported by the Constitution, whether from a clause granting specific power, or by Congress delegating such to the executive branch.[6] Specifically, such orders must be rooted in Article II of the US Constitution or enacted by the Congress in statutes. Attempts to block such orders have been successful at times, when such orders either exceeded the authority of the president or could be better handled through legislation.[7]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5n3bbfop5twdd4orex4o6yop/bafkreifzuoyofgjohvhg2abarae656dqifb4ifx4c42i6dk4jawpmuhosm@jpeg)

Not to mention: that's a huge plate of fries to go with one small hot dog, and a tiny amount of ketchup for that many fries.
