Another day, another shadow docket compromise. This evening, the Court issued a short three paragraph per curiam opinion in Noem v. Garcia. In short, the Court found that that the District Court could not order the Executive Branch to negotiate the return of Garcia, but instead could only require the government “facilitate” Garcia’s return. This outcome was entirely predictable. On Monday, I wrote: I think the most likely outcome is that Roberts follows the lead of Judge J. Harvie […] here’s a great deal of commonality in critiques of degrowth by left-wing “ecomodernists” and accelerationists like Leigh Philips (see my critique here), and right-wing libertarians like Steven Greenhut. Both are characterized by a high degree of conceptual laziness; this laziness is manifested particularly in a failure to clearly define what degrowth even is, instead playing on the negative associations of the term and rolling out a series of talking points that don’t honestly frame or directly address actual […] submitted by /u/syracusedotcom [link] [comments] submitted by /u/seastead7 [link] [comments] I’ve spent decades—starting long before I founded the Vulnerable People Project—working for apostolates that had me talking to anyone who would listen about the vulnerable and their need for the support of Americans like you and me.

The April 2nd action is the equivalent of a rise in the effective US tariff rate of 11 ½ percentage points. The average effective US tariff rate after incorporating all […] Ryan Bourne Our Labour government won’t like the comparison, but has it embraced the thinking of Elon Musk? In recent weeks it has slammed civil service bloat, highlighted difficulties in shifting poor performers and talked up artificial intelligence replacing government employees. The echoes of Musk’s US Department of Government Efficiency (Doge) seem unmistakable. , Labour certainly won’t cut workers as indiscriminately as Doge has.
