#GOP Again Cedes #Power on #Tariffs to Avoid Crossing #Trump

#House #Republicans extended a maneuver they engineered earlier in the year that effectively strips #Congress of the power to disapprove of Trump’s tariffs.

The Republican-led House moved anew on Tuesday to relinquish Congress’s power to weigh in on Trump’s tariffs, even as Democrats in the #Senate prepared to force votes challenging his #trade war.

“Ben Gvir and Smotrich openly describe #Palestinians as Untermenschen — quite literally. They explicitly call for their expulsion. […] They want to push them out. They are openly #racist, and they believe in #force — in #Machtpolitik, imposing their views through #power.”

“[T]his is the first #genocide committed by an industrially advanced state and backed by the entire #Western system, the whole Western bloc.”

"The world is filled with people who are no longer needed. And who try to make slaves of all of us. And they have their music and we have ours. Theirs, the wasted songs of a superstitious nightmare. And without their music and ideological miscarriages to compare our songs of freedom to, we'd not have any opposite to compare music with - - and like the drifting wind, hitting against no obstacle, we'd never know its speed, its power.

→ How Much Water Do AI Data Centers Really Consume?
https://spectrum.ieee.org/ai-water-usage

“Just as human bodies cool themselves by sweating, data centers are often cooled by water #evaporation—a process that dissipates heat and results in water being lost to the atmosphere, and thus being counted as "consumed."”

“Beyond the water that cools the servers, #data_centers indirectly contribute to water use through the #electricity generation needed to power their operations.”
