Good day to remember that a US President has no inherent power over tariffs whatsoever. It’s not like war powers or pardons. It’s entirely delegated by Congress to deal with emergencies. GOP Congress cld modify that law tonight and bring this to a screeching halt.

Not my district, but I want all New Yorkers, especially those Upstate (I'm biased) to have representatives that care about them.
I’m the dairy farmer running in the special election to replace Elise Stefanik in New York’s 21st Congressional District.

Astounding that nowhere in the first four paragraphs of this piece does it make clear that a president can’t “close” an agency. That’s illegal. This isn’t some vague obscure question.
A deadly serious bureaucratic-legal question. What formal position does Musk currently hold & what authority does he have (“the president told me” doesn’t count) to shut down federal agencies & raid their secure material? www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Trump moves to wrest control of USAID as Musk says ‘we’re shutting it down’
Billionaire and Trump ally Elon Musk said early Monday that his DOGE team is in the process of closing USAID, the world’s largest provider of food assistance.

1/ OK, Democratic members of Congress in the US Senate. It’s time for some tough love.
I am aware your pollsters and consultants tell you things like “the American people want us to work together” and “ focus on prescription drug prices in the economy.”

Every safety regulation was written in blood, frequently with a body count higher than one, and it’s not political to put the blame on people who want to “move fast and break things” when they start breaking human lives.

Was literally talking to the union representing federal air traffic controllers earlier today about how there’s already a major shortage of air traffic controllers and the resignation offers they all just got from OPM could seriously endanger public safety.

You do NOT have to speak to ICE without a JUDICIAL warrant. If they attempt to enter your home or your workplace, ask for a warrant. Sometimes they will try to use other, non qualifying paperwork. They need a warrant.

Super helpful to try and figure out plans for tomorrow
I asked our GIS Office to come up with a similar map regarding storm snow totals that I hand drew on my computer yesterday. Using data obtained from the NYS Weather Risk Center at UAlbany, the office produced the below snow total and storm severity map. Great job by all on the maps.
