    Trump praises the U.S. as the greatest friend of Canada and Europe while imposing 25% import tariffs on cars and threatening more tariffs if they don't treat their 'friend', the U.S., fairly.

    Trump threatens even larger tariffs on EU, Canada if they work together to cause 'economic harm' to the US

    excerpt:

    "President Trump views tariffs as a way to bring in tax revenue to finance his plans for tax cuts while spurring a revitalization of domestic manufacturing."

    excerpt:

    DONALD Trump has slapped a whopping 25 per cent tariff on all foreign-built cars in a huge blow to global car manufacturers.

    The New Video of Federal Agents Ambushing a Student and Disappearing With Her Should Chill You to Your Core
    By Aymann Ismail

    It’s Hard to Believe This Video Was Filmed in the United States. It No Longer Should Be.

    excerpt:

    "To be perfectly clear, Ozturk is not accused of breaking the law. The Department of Homeland Security hasn’t bothered to explain its reasoning, but several outlets reported that Ozturk co-authored a student opinion piece urging Tufts to recognize the International Court of Justice’s declaration of a “plausible risk of genocide” unfolding in Gaza and to divest from Israel. You can read the article if you like. It does not mention Hamas."

    Noem does PR stunt in El Salvador with iron-fist populist president.


    Homeland Security Secretary Noem visits the El Salvador prison where deported Venezuelans are held – WDTN.com

    excerpt:

    "Noem toured an area holding some of the Venezuelans accused of being gang members. In the sweltering building, the men in white T-shirts and shorts stared silently from their cell, then were heard shouting an indiscernible chant when she left.

    In a cell block holding Salvadoran prisoners, about a dozen were lined up by guards near the front of their cell and told to remove their T-shirts and face masks. The men were heavily tattooed, some bearing the letters MS, for the Mara Salvatrucha gang, on their chests.

    After listening to Salvadoran officials, Noem turned her back to the cell and recorded a video message.

    If an immigrant commits a crime, “this is one of the consequences you could face,” Noem said. “First of all, do not come to our country illegally. You will be removed and you will be prosecuted. But know that this facility is one of the tools in our toolkit that we will use if you commit crimes against the American people.”

    Noem also met with El Salvador President Nayib Bukele, a populist who has gained right-wing admiration in the U.S. due to his crackdown on the country’s gangs, despite the democratic and due process implications that have come with it."

    Musk is imparting maximum inefficiency.


    https://www.npr.org/2025/03/26/nx-s1-5338945/federal-workers-return-to-office-chaos

    excerpt:

    "Earlier this month, a Department of Agriculture employee who works remotely was given a list of possible locations for their upcoming mandatory return to office. One location was described as a "storage unit."

    Confused, the employee drove to the address, which turned out to be, in fact, a storage facility. When the employee asked the facility's owner why it might show up on a list of federal office spaces, the owner laughed and told the employee that the federal government does rent a unit there — to store a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service boat. It doesn't have heat, windows or power."

    USPS chief DeJoy resigns.


    Postmaster General Louis DeJoy resigns after 5 years in the position

    excerpt:

    "The head of the beleaguered U.S. Postal Service, Louis DeJoy, resigned Monday after nearly five years in the position, leaving as President Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency have floated the idea of privatizing mail service."

    Turkish student at Tufts University is latest Palestinian supporter swept up in US crackdown

    excerpt:

    "Ozturk, who was detained Tuesday shortly after she left her home in Somerville, had been moved to an ICE detention center in Louisiana by the time her lawyer went to court and a judge ordered her to be kept in Massachusetts, U.S. government lawyers said in a court document Thursday. They said they made her lawyers aware that she was being moved and facilitated contact with her Wednesday night."
