Supreme Court to hear case that could vastly expand presidential powers
Proving that history does repeat itself, in 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt attempted to fire an FTC commissioner over ideological disagreements. In that case, called Humphrey's Executor, the court unanimously held that while the president has the power to remove purely executive officers for any reason, that unlimited power does not extend to agencies like the FTC, whose duties "are neither political nor executive, but predominantly quasi-judicial and quasi-legislative."
Following that 1935 decision, Congress went on to create many more multimember, independent agencies whose members likewise can only be removed for cause. Since January, Trump has also removed Democratic members from some of those agencies, including the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Merit Systems Protection Board and the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

rima lo scontro a colpi di bastoni, poi lo scontro verbale in ospedale tra i parenti dei giovani coinvolti. È successo a Merano, dove i carabinieri della stazione di Postal hanno denunciato 6 persone
I militari sono intervenuti nei pressi del poligono per la segnalazione di una lite; sul posto hanno trovato i due giovani che si stavano ancora colpendo con bastoni in plastica e ferro, entrambi con vistose ferite sanguinanti. Disarmati e bloccati, i due sono stati trasportati all'ospedale Tappeiner di Merano. Per entrambi è scattata la denuncia per lesioni personali aggravate e porto abusivo di armi

Tarquinia, tomba dei Pigmei: inaugurazione del nuovo sistema di accesso l’11 dicembre, ore 11
L’Associazione Amici delle Tombe di Tarquinia, in collaborazione con la Soprintendenza per la provincia di Viterbo e per l’Etruria meridionale, in occasione delle iniziative per la valorizzazione della Necropoli etrusca di Tarquinia, ha organizzato per giovedì 11 dicembre prossimo, l’inaugurazione del nuovo sistema di accesso alla straordinaria Tomba dei Pigmei, realizzato grazie al generoso contributo della Socia Federica Wiel Marin e, fino ad oggi, difficilmente accessibile a causa del lungo e ripido dromos.
L’appuntamento è alle ore 11 al parcheggio della Tomba dei Tori.
L’ingresso sarà contingentato e gratuito, senza obbligo di prenotazione.
Alla fine è previsto anche un brindisi per festeggiare l’evento: un importante intervento volto a garantire una maggiore fruibilità e accessibilità di un sito così prestigioso.

Mike Johnson strips military IVF coverage from defense bill – report
A massive defense policy bill, revealed by US lawmakers on Sunday, does not include a provision that would have provided broad healthcare coverage for in vitro fertilization (IVF) for active-duty members of the military, despite Donald Trump’s pledge to strengthen access to the procedure.
Both the House and Senate previously approved the provision, which was added to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) as an amendment earlier this year. But Mike Johnson, the speaker of the House and a diehard anti-abortion Republican, worked behind the scenes to strip the provision from the new version of the NDAA, MS NOW reported last week.

Shock Poll: 82% Of Brits Want Israel Removed From Eurovision
A new poll suggests that 82% Of British people want Israel to be removed from the Eurovision Song Contest.
The country’s continued involvement with the Song Contest is the subject of controversy, with Russia having been removed following its invasion of Ukraine.
The poll was pieced together by Pablo O’Hana, and utilised a survey sample of 1093, done in a nationally representative manner.
A noted Eurovision fan himself, Pablo O’Hana adds: “Eurovision isn’t just about songs and staging – it’s about values. If Israel is permitted to compete, the people of Britain believe we should walk away. The BBC must find its backbone before walking into that meeting today.”

Australian here. IDK much about the feelings of Brits.
How could the populace feel so strongly about this divisive issue, while apparently such strong support for Farage exists, when I presume he would be pro-Israel?
... and seeing that I'm here, I have a bonus question: if Brits generally acknowledge that Brexit was a terrible idea, why isn't Farage tarnished by his ardent support for it?

Edit: what the fuck is an EDC tactical wallet? I thought it was some kind of rugged electronic thing
If you're asking in earnest:
EDC - "Essential daily carry," just a loosely defined but also self-explanatory term. My keys are part of my EDC, so is my wallet and my pocket knife, because I use them every day so I carry them with me.
Over the past few years, the EDC community has formed a little cottage industry where things aren't EDC because they're carried every day, they're EDC because they say they are and they're designed to be that way. The term "EDC" evolved then into describing a specific type of object. Tactical here is just a marketing term here to appeal to some kind of utility beyond a normal wallet

Records reviewed by AP detail online monitoring, arrests in New Orleans immigration crackdown
State and federal authorities are closely tracking online criticism and protests against the immigration crackdown in New Orleans, monitoring message boards around the clock for threats to agents while compiling regular updates on public “sentiment” surrounding the arrests, according to law enforcement records reviewed by The Associated Press.
The intelligence gathering comes even as officials have released few details about the first arrests made last week as part of “Catahoula Crunch,” prompting calls for greater transparency from local officials who say they’ve been kept in the dark about virtually every aspect of the operation.
“Online opinions still remain mixed, with some supporting the operations while others are against them,” said a briefing circulated early Sunday to law enforcement. Earlier bulletins noted “a combination of groups urging the public to record ICE and Border Patrol” as well as “additional locations where agents can find immigrants.”

Greek farmers rise up and the KKE stands by their side
cross-posted from: news.abolish.capital/post/1232…
Photo: Eurokinissi The Communist Party of Greece (KKE) has taken a clear, decisive position in support of the escalating struggle of poor farmers across the country.
With a series of on-site visits to the roadblocks in Larissa, Karditsa, Trikala, Tirnavos and other areas, the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the KKE, Dimitris Koutsoumbas, conveyed the Party’s full solidarity and its commitment to stand at the side of those fighting for their survival.
During his meetings with farmers, Koutsoumbas underlined that the government bears full responsibility for the explosive situation in the countryside. It refuses to address the just demands of small farmers because it is structurally committed to the interests of big capital—large agricultural businesses, exporters, energy monopolies, shipowners, and all those who profit from the EU’s Common Agricultural Policy. As he stressed, the government subsidises industrial groups and big exporters, guarantees tax exemptions to shipowners, supports companies in renewable energy sources, and even allows them to charge exorbitant prices, while farmers are forced to pay out of pocket for their essentials.
In this framework, even the most elementary measures for farmers—such as reducing production costs, securing fair prices, or establishing real protective mechanisms—are dismissed as “fiscal impossibilities,” while billions are channelled to capitalist groups. The recent example of forcing livestock breeders to destroy their animals instead of ensuring vaccinations demonstrates, once more, that state policy sacrifices small producers for the benefit of monopoly interests.
The KKE places this entire confrontation within a broader class context. The struggle of the poor farmers concerns not only those who work the land in Thessaly or Macedonia; it affects workers, employees, and the popular strata across the country. High food prices—driven not by farmers but by wholesalers, middlemen, and state taxation—burden working-class households daily. The same political forces that crush farmers are those that attack labour rights, public services, wages, and social provisions.
For this reason, the KKE calls on the working class to actively support the farmers’ mobilisations. It denounces efforts by the government and the mass media to divide workers and farmers or to present the struggling rural poor as an obstacle to society. Such divisive tactics, alongside the deployment of riot police, chemicals, and arrests, aim to wear down the movement. The KKE demands the lifting of all repressive measures, the release of all detained demonstrators, and the immediate withdrawal of police forces from the roadblocks.
In his interventions, Koutsoumbas also linked the farmers’ struggle with Greece’s deeper political commitments to NATO and EU militarism. He pointed to the transformation of regions like Thessaly—especially Larissa—into strategic hubs for U.S. military drones and operations extending from the Balkans and Black Sea to the Middle East and the Red Sea. While the government spends more than €30 billion on armaments for NATO missions, it claims a lack of resources for essential support to farmers and workers. The KKE exposes this contradiction as proof that the state serves imperialist designs rather than the needs of the people.
Against this backdrop, the Party promotes a clear political perspective: no sustainable solution for poor farmers can be found within the current framework of capitalist development, EU policies, and market competition. Partial adjustments or temporary subsidies cannot reverse the relentless concentration of land and production in the hands of agribusiness. The KKE argues that the only real alternative is a radical shift—a people’s economy based on social ownership, central planning, and cooperatives of small producers integrated into a unified plan for food production, infrastructure, and supply. Such a system can guarantee low-cost inputs, stable and fair prices, rational use of resources, and the elimination of parasitic intermediaries.
The Party thus calls for escalation of the people’s struggle, not only to defend the urgent demands of the farmers but to build the political and social alliance capable of confronting monopoly power, breaking with the EU and NATO, and paving the way for workers’ and people’s power.
The KKE’s presence at the roadblocks, its intervention in Parliament, and its continuous activity across unions, associations, and popular organisations highlight a consistent line: the battle of the poor farmers is a battle of the entire working people. The Party urges both workers and farmers to strengthen their unity, reject any attempt at division, and continue the fight with confidence, determination, and a clear orientation toward the real solution—popular power and a socialist reconstruction of agriculture and the economy as a whole.
