    If we ever get out of Trump’s bullshit. We need a total rework of the power for the executive branch. It’s been run on “good faith” for too long.

      Yup. We can’t rely on “Well, OK, there’s no law about this, it’s just how we’ve always done things.”

        Interestingly, in my high school course about legal systems, “tradition” was considered like a very low level law. Basically if “this is how we’ve always done things” and there’s no explicit law, executive order or anything… it’s legal

    Yes, a mistake. Which just happened to wipe out the exact parts of the Constitution that the President has been ignoring.

    You know what? I’m going long con on this. I think some badass Librarian deleted those sections so that we would have to acknowledge publicly that those rights are indeed guaranteed in the Constitution.

    People should read up on the leadership conflict currently going on at the Library of Congress.

    On May 8, 2025, two days after Hayden had given testimony to the Senate Committee on Appropriations and the Committee on House Administration,[80][81] via email and without any explanation, she was abruptly fired by President Trump … No replacement of Hayden has been nominated. Principal Deputy Librarian Robert Newlen,[86] who would have served as interim librarian was fired and Trump named Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche as acting librarian of Congress and later fired the deputy librarian and copyright office director (Perlmutter and Newlen), appointing senior DOJ officials Brian Nieves and Paul Perkins as respectively, for the interim. This has been interpreted as an attack on the separation of powers.[87] Perlmutter has sued to dispute the legality of the dismissal,[88] as the Register is appointed by, and responsible to, the Librarian of Congress.

    So currently there are two conflicting acting directors of LOC. One appointed by Trump, whom noone at LOC accepts, and one librarian, who does the actual day to day administration.

    It is curious that the article doesn’t mention who is speaking for the LOC, they are just twitter messages by the LOC account. I bet that while the Trump sycophant has no power over any of the librarians in LOC, he is in control of the LOC twitter account and the website, with some external techbros doing his bidding, and that is all he has to play with, yet unsurprisingly enough still managed to turn everything into shit just with those slivers of control.

    The actual staff of the LOC are just doing their library thing (their youtube channel has been very active lately with some knowledgeable and interesting stuff), while this piece of shit is busy doing his Trump shit.

      How the fuck can Trump just fire anyone he pleases, yet when fucking Biden was in there it seemed he couldn’t even get rid of the fucking gardner???

        Because they realize that rules are just words on paper. They mean precisely nothing when the people in charge of enforcing them are the ones who are breaking them.

          Right? They are calling on states to blatantly gerrymander their districts, which is bold-face illegal and should get them immediately removed from office.

          It used to be the people’s responsibility to hold politicians to account. Nixon didn’t resign because he felt bad - he resigned because his support collapsed. If you voted for a congressman or senator who refused to impeach Trump, you voted for making politicians above the law.

            Still is, but you nailed it. People wanted a criminal rapist who was best friends with the world’s most notorious child predator. None of what he is, was remotely hidden, every bit of it was clear and obvious. Everything that he’s doing, is things he said he would do.

            It’s still the people’s job to hold them accountable, but most people you know just wanted this (if folks couldn’t be fucked to stop this, they need gave a default stamp of approval).

    Off by one error I could believe if the articles are displayed through an array and not a purely plain text in a div. Off by two error I think not.

    We have been working to correct this and expect it to be resolved soon

    Lol, this is a static site. A 5 minute change. Even if they have a process to run all changes through review and testing before deployment (which they don’t or else this kind of “coding error” wouldn’t have happened), this is fixed same-day. They’re lying.

      If it was run on like, GitHub Pages, you would do a rollback.

      I have support for rollbacks in my site cause I have blue-green… I never use it, but I do have it!

      Hear me out. They may have some shitty convoluted markup, and they wanted to make a change to make it “more maintainable” or some shit.

      But it was so poorly laid out with no separation of html and CSS they needed to copy and paste it but by bit, and the junior they paid to do it wasn’t really paying attention and missed a chunk.

      Possible.

      Or, and I think more likely, someone used an AI agent to make some change and it deleted a whole lot of shit, nobody checked what changed and they “shipped lots of changes, they have the best changes”

    Curious “coding error”. The only “coding error” I can see here is that they already prepared the site for future changes they plan, and just executed them early.

    It’s sad that they think editing some html will in some way further their agenda to ignore the actual document.

    And it’s sad that they might be right.

    I mean, his voters will believe it.

    They’d jump off the empire state building if the Administration told them it would pwn the libs.
