News@lemmy.world•US Senate advances war powers resolution to stop Trump from taking further military action in Venezuela
16·1 month agoThat resolution was kneecapped by the Authorization for Use of Military Force after 9/11. Multiple presidents have treated it as a blank check to execute military actions around the world without congressional approval. Just call the targets “terrorists” (or “narco terrorists” now) and do anything without repercussions.

News@lemmy.world•Major restaurant chain closing locations amid $620 million buyout
1·2 months agoThis is how it starts. Denny’s is slowly dying. Its revenue in 2025 is half what it was 20 years ago. Denny’s is trying to stop the bleeding by scaling back, but it’s too little too late. Private equity smells blood in the water. This will end just like Toys R Us, Sears, and so many others.

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•2022 vs. 2026 FIFA World Cup ticket pricesEnglish
0·4 months agoBetween the ticket prices and the, ah, challenging political climate in the US, I am really curious what game attendance will be.



It would be a (small) step in the right direction if it had any chance of becoming law. It’s a non-starter in the House, and Trump certainly wouldn’t sign it either.
