Following President Donald Trump's "Liberation Day" speech from the Rose Garden on Wednesday afternoon, during which he announced a new wide-ranging tariff strategy, politicians took to their partisan corners to express their thoughts. [Snip] During his Rose Garden remarks, Trump held up a poster board showing the combined rate of tariffs and other non-tariff barriers that other countries impose on U.S. exports alongside the reciprocal tariffs the Trump administration plans to levy on imports from those countries. [Snip] "Trump’s tariffs aren’t starting a trade war--they’re ending one," ... "For decades, other countries ripped off American workers with unfair tariffs and barriers. Now, we’re finally fighting back. America First!"

Elon Musk will exit his role with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) on schedule later this spring, once "his incredible work at DOGE is complete," the White House confirmed Wednesday. Leavitt was referring to a Wednesday Politico article... [Snip] "Politico has become a tabloid paper that would rather run fake news for clicks than real reporting," White House spokesman Harrison Fields told Fox Digital Wednesday of Politico's report. "This is exactly why President Trump and DOGE have terminated millions of dollars in wasteful, government contracts to so-called news organizations that have diminished their credibility with the American people."
WAUKESHA, Wis. - The liberal-leaning candidate is projected to win a high-profile and historically expensive election in Wisconsin on Tuesday, protecting progressive majority control of the battleground state's Supreme Court, which is likely to rule on crucial issues like congressional redistricting, voting and labor rights, and abortion. The Associated Press projects that Dane County Circuit Court Judge Susan Crawford will defeat Brad Schimel, a former state attorney general who currently serves as a state circuit court judge in Waukesha County. Schimel, the conservative-aligned candidate in the race, was endorsed by President Donald Trump.
The following is the prepared text of a speech the author gave in March at an Indiana Call to Action event in South Bend, Indiana. The New York Times recently released data putting Indiana in the top 10 states Americans relocated to in 2023. [Snip] Seven of these are completely Republican-controlled, and two have Republican legislatures. Indiana is the only state on the list without a warm or mountainous climate. Professor Michael New pointed out that eight of these ten states enacted strong pro-life laws after the Supreme Court reversed Roe v. Wade. It didn’t damage their attractions one bit.
Higher education institutions in Ohio are barred from taking a stance on marriage after Republican Gov. Mike DeWine signed a law at the end of March deeming belief in the legal and religious union as “controversial.” Republicans billed the Enact Advance Ohio Higher Education Act as the best way to eliminate universities’ racist admission and hiring practices and expand ideological diversity by explicitly outlawing “political and ideological litmus tests” and requiring schools commit to “seek[ing] out invited speakers who have diverse ideological or political views.” The law also, however, requires institutions to declare they will not “endorse or oppose” “controversial beliefs,” including marriage.

Federal Judge James Boasberg is facing mounting criticism from President Donald Trump and his allies as he presides over multiple high-profile lawsuits targeting the Trump administration--cases that have now brought the judge’s personal and professional ties under fresh scrutiny.

For the Evangelical Christians who have given--and still give--overwhelming support to President Trump while refusing to criticize him for language and behavior they would presumably denounce in a fellow church member, here’s an easy one for you. [Snip] White-Cain is soliciting donations before Easter of $1,000 or more to her “ministry.” In exchange she promises “7 specific supernatural blessings.”...None of this is new for White-Cain and other “prosperity gospel” ministers, but the difference is that she associates, advises and presumably has influence over the president of the United States. [Snip] Their “doctrine” seems to be “let us prey.”
It’s become fairly obvious over the past week that there is a highly political campaign to take down Pete Hegseth as America’s defense secretary. [Snip] The real reason leftists and other establishment hacks are gunning for Hegseth’s resignation has nothing to do with their fake national security concerns and everything to do with the fact that he’s an outsider who represents a threat to the system they’ve spent decades protecting. Unlike so many of their fellow D.C. insiders, Hegseth is not beholden to the military-industrial complex and defense lobbyists wielding their influence throughout Washington. His only interests are--and always have been--warfighting and the troops.
Thursday evening, Elon Musk and some of his Department of Government Efficiency team sat for an interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier on “Special Report.” The nerd dream team includes a former rocket scientist, a Houstonian who ran five successful businesses, and the billionaire co-founder of Airbnb. Musk said he thinks the team can cut the federal deficit by $1 trillion within 130 days. He and the other DOGE engineers gave some eye-popping examples of how scam-ridden federal programs have become.
Denmark on Friday found itself in President Donald Trump’s crosshairs. Trump appears to be honing in on what his administration is now arguing is a failure by Copenhagen to protect Greenland from Russian and Chinese aggression. [Snip] Vance said that Russia and China have been largely running unchecked in the area and "encroaching" on Greenland without proper protection from Denmark. [Snip] "When the President says we've got to have Greenland, he's saying this island is not safe,... A lot of people are making a play. ...Yes, the people of Greenland are going to have self-determination,..."We hope that they choose to partner with the United States.”

Co-host Alicia Menendez said, “You announced today a set of hearings are going to have next week with fired DOJ officials. What is it you are hoping to learn from them?”
Schiff said, “Well, today as you know, we saw the case, the corruption case against the mayor of New York dismissed with prejudice. That means that case can never be brought again. It wasn’t dismissed because of a lack of evidence.

One of former President Joe Biden’s senior aides admitted in a new book that the 82-year-old couldn’t grasp the back and forth of debate and would fall asleep by the pool while they prepped for his showdown with Trump, according to a book excerpt.
Top Biden aide Ron Klain, who helped the former president with debate prep, was “half-seriously” wondering if Biden believed he was the president of NATO rather than the president of the United States, according to the excerpt of Chris Whipple’s new book published by The Guardian. While they prepped, Klain reportedly told Whipple that the then 81-year-old president “didn’t know what Trump had been saying

The European Union is considering levying a $1 billion fine against Elon Musk’s X, alleging that the social media company has violated its law against disinformation and illicit content, The New York Times reported.
Along with the hefty fine, the E.U. would also demand that X make changes to its product, according to the Times, which cited “four people with knowledge of the plans.” If the E.U. moves forward, it would be the first fine imposed by the body using its Digital Services Act (DSA). The DSA “regulates online intermediaries and platforms … to prevent illegal and harmful activities online and the spread of disinformation.”

It remains to be seen if the proposal will be accepted, as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has long rejected any deal that does not include Hamas’ complete defeat, including demilitarization and its permanent exit from Gaza.

Germany’s outgoing Chancellor voices the frustrations felt across the European ruling class at President Donald Trump tearing up the status quo on trade, decrying an “attack”.
