Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Summary

A federal court has ruled that Trump's unprecedented firing of National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) member Gwynne Wilcox was illegal and ordered her reinstatement.

Judge Beryl Howell ruled that the President can’t terminate NLRB members at will, directly rebuking Trump’s self-image as a “king” or “dictator.” She state, “no one in our system of government was meant to be king – the President included – and not just in name only.”

Wilcox sued, arguing her removal violated labor law, leaving the board without a quorum needed to rule on cases. The White House defended the termination, claiming Wilcox was a "far-left appointee with no place in the Trump administration."

Labor leaders condemned the move as undermining NLRB independence and halting federal labor law enforcement.

She was not a far-left appointee, she just represented unions in her legal work beforehand. She was/is the first black member of the board, however.

MAGA don't know what the far left even is.

Yeah, I think a lot of MAGA, and other Republicans, don't realize that the 'radical left' democrats, would be seen as right-wing by many other western nations' standards. And the whole thing about them being the 'leader of the free world' is sickening and hilarious at the same time.

Canada is 11th in the Cato Human Freedom Index, while the US, the 'freest nation in the world is 17th'. They have no business talking to us, or ANYONE ahead of them in that index, about being free. And most of the nations ahead of them in that freedom index, are from Europe, the 'socialist nations' as MAGA and others like to call them.
