Lefty media worked themselves into a lather over Elon Musk’s imminent departure from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) — but his tenure was always meant to be temporary. Musk — DOGE’s lodestar and President Trump’s right-hand man — is in fact expected to step back from the administration at the end of next month, two sources close to the White House tell The Post. But his last day was a fait accompli from the start of the administration, per federal regulations which mandate special government employees (SGEs) can only remain at their post for 130 consecutive days.

President Donald Trump announces tariffs in the Rose Garden of the White House at a Make America Wealthy Again event on Wednesday, April 2. Dubbed “Liberation Day” by Trump, the president is expected to announce reciprocal tariffs against countries that have imposed their own tariffs on imports from America for years. Breitbart’s John Carney notes: As a Bloomberg columnist put it in a moment of unguarded awe, “I can’t recall the last time when so many people around the world were waiting for a White House announcement where no one seems to know what exactly is going to be announced.”

Several countries have announced plans to reduce or eliminate tariffs on U.S. imports in response to President Donald Trump’s “reciprocal tariffs” policy, set to take effect on April 2, 2025. This policy aims to match the tariffs that other nations impose on U.S. products. The White House released a detailed chart showing how badly many countries have been ripping off American workers, charging high tariffs on U.S. goods while benefiting from America’s generosity in return. The White House fact sheet released today clarified that Canada is exempt from the reciprocal tariff announcement.

Things didn't go according to plan for Republicans on Tuesday in Wisconsin. In an all-important Supreme Court race, liberal Susan Crawford prevailed, beating Brad Schimel by a sizable margin despite everyone from President Donald Trump to Elon Musk getting involved. The stakes were high, given the far-reaching political implications. Crawford's win gives the Democrats a 4-3 majority, and it is expected that they'll force congressional redistricting that will cost Republicans two House seats before the 2026 election even takes place. With the margin already so thin, that could prove decisive in who gets the majority.

Brave American soldiers helped win World War II. But they could not have succeeded without a rock-solid auto industry that mass-produced tanks, trucks and jeeps by the millions. Today, this key pillar of America’s once-vaunted “Arsenal of Democracy” has been hollowed out by decades of unfair trade. No longer does America fully manufacture its own automobiles. We largely assemble high-value parts made overseas. To restore our auto industry to strategic dominance, President Donald Trump has imposed 25% tariffs not just on foreign-built autos but also on imported auto parts. These new Trump tariffs will provide powerful incentives for automakers to bring engine, transmission and drivetrain production back to American soil.

Private-sector job growth accelerated in March, according to data released Wednesday by ADP, countering gloomy predictions that tariffs would slam the brakes on the labor market. Instead, hiring came in stronger than expected, with 155,000 jobs added across the U.S. economy—even as corporate media and left-leaning economists warn daily of a looming slowdown. Professional and business services led the way with 57,000 new jobs, followed by financial activities with 38,000 and manufacturing with 21,000. “Despite policy uncertainty and downbeat consumers, the bottom line is this: The March topline number was a good one for the economy and employers of all sizes, if not necessarily all sectors,” said Nela Richardson,

A fed-up Gov. Ron DeSantis let loose on Tuesday, slamming Florida House Republicans for failing to pass a variety of conservative priorities despite having a massive majority. He also ripped what he called "petty" attempts to oppose him because he recently forced the rewriting of a Republican-backed amnesty bill that would have stripped the governor of his power to fight illegal immigration. Things kicked off with a pre-recorded video of DeSantis noting the failure of Florida House Republicans to pass property tax relief. Instead, they've been focusing on parking spots and office space as a way to punish Sen. Ashley Moody for taking his side on the immigration issue.

In court filings, federal officials said Tuesday that a federal judge in Massachusetts does not have jurisdiction to decide whether Rümeysa Öztürk was illegally detained by ICE agents last week. This, according to the Justice Department, is because Öztürk was not in Massachusetts when a legal challenge was filed against the federal government. Öztürk, a Turkish PhD student at Tufts University, was arrested by plainclothes federal agents on a Somerville sidewalk last week. She was swiftly moved to a detention center in Louisiana. The Trump administration revoked her visa, apparently because she “engaged in activities in support of Hamas.” Federal prosecutors (snip) argued that the case belongs in immigration court.

Chuck Schumer (NY) to nuke Joe Biden’s reelection effort and force him out of the race, we saw actor George Clooney write an op-ed calling for Ole Joe to step down, and we saw Rep.
