Inconvenient parts of the Constitution removed from Library of Congress website

I just saw a rumor online that appears to be true. Apparently someone has removed Section 9 and 10 of Article 1 from the official text of the US Constitution hosted by our government on congress.gov.

https://constitution.congress.gov/constitution/article-1/

Section 9, of course contains the Emoluments Clause, which the Republican Congress and Supreme Court has chosen to completely ignore as it pertains to Trump.

Section 10 states that only Congress can impose tariffs.

So it looks like they're not even going to bother with amendments anymore. They can just erase the parts of the Constitution they don't like and pretend they never existed.

Edit: changed title to clarify this is the Library of Congress website.

The literally just called Kamala a DEI hire on Fox News

Doesn't everyone in the country know this is the new racist dog whistle now? (Sorry, I'm stuck watching Fox News non-stop while visiting my elderly conservative parents for the holiday weekend.)

Explain this one to me

Noem killing her dog makes people decide she's no longer a viable VP candidate.

While Trump arguing that he should have legal immunity to assassinate political opponents and Trump having to be talked out of having rivals and critics executed is perfectly fine for a Presidential candidate.

I guess because dogs can't vote?

Another shooting in DC Metro?

A friend of my friend just texted that she's stuck on a train with an active shooter right now. In Penn Quarter. Haven't seen anything in the news about it yet.
