Trump Orders DOGE to Hunt for Voter Fraud, Echoing Failed 2017 Commission

President Donald Trump's recent election executive order has positioned his administration for extended battles over citizenship proof, executive branch authority, and federal election law. Within this order lies a less-noticed directive: assigning Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to investigate voter fraud. The order instructs the Department of Homeland Security to collaborate with DOGE in reviewing states' "publicly available voter registration list and available records concerning voter list maintenance activities," comparing them against federal and state records to identify noncitizen voter fraudโ€”an illegal but rare occurrence. This ambitious undertaking mirrors Trump's previous efforts. During his first term, a voting integrity commission led by then-Vice President Mike Pence and then-Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach attempted to create a national voter file in 2017. That initiative failed when 44 states and the District of Columbia refused to share at least […]

Trump Proposes Tariff Reduction to Facilitate TikTok Sale to Non-Chinese Buyers

President Donald Trump has indicated willingness to reduce tariffs on China as part of negotiations to sell TikTok's U.S. operations, with an April 5 deadline looming for the social media platform to find a non-Chinese buyer or face a potential ban. The potential sale stems from national security concerns about TikTok's current ownership by ByteDance, a Chinese technology company. Washington fears the app could be used for data collection and influence operations against the United States, leading to legislation requiring ByteDance to divest its U.S. operations. Trump suggested he might extend the April deadline if an agreement is not reached and proposed using tariff reduction as a potential bargaining chip. In recent months, he has added 20% in additional levies to imports from China, demonstrating his approach to trade negotiations. China's commerce ministry responded diplomatically, expressing willingness to engage with […]

Trump Announces 25% Tariffs on Imported Vehicles and Auto Parts

President Donald Trump has announced a new 25% tariff on all vehicles and auto parts imported into the United States, a move that could significantly impact the automotive industry and consumer prices. The tariffs are expected to have wide-ranging consequences for automakers and consumers. Nearly half of all cars sold in the U.S. last year were imported, according to research firm GlobalData. The announcement immediately affected stock markets, with shares of major automotive companies experiencing notable declines. General Motors saw an 8% drop in after-market trading, while Ford and Stellantis experienced approximately 4.5% falls. International manufacturers like Toyota, Honda, and Hyundai also saw their shares drop between 3% and 4%. The economic impact could be substantial. Cox Automotive predicts the tariffs could add $3,000 to the cost of a U.S.-made vehicle and $6,000 to vehicles manufactured in Canada or Mexico. […]

Tiger Woods Confirms Relationship with Trump’s Former Daughter-in-Law!

Golfer Tiger Woods has announced he is dating Vanessa Trump, the former daughter-in-law of US President Donald Trump. Vanessa, 47, was married to Donald Trump Jr for 13 years. The pair, who have five children together, divorced in 2018. On Sunday, Woods, 49, posted pictures of Vanessa and himself on social media stating: "Love is in the air and life is better with you by my side! We look forward to our journey through life together." He added, "At this time we would appreciate privacy for all those close to our hearts." It remains unclear what prompted this public announcement, though rumors of their relationship had been circulating in gossip magazines in recent weeks. Woods, who has won 15 major championships, has historically been guarded about his personal life after revelations of his marital infidelities and sex scandals damaged his […]

Trump Schedules Third Cabinet Meeting with Musk Expected to Attend

President Donald Trump will convene his Cabinet secretaries for a third known meeting Monday morning, with Elon Musk expected to participate, according to a senior administration official. The official described the 11 a.m. gathering as a "follow up on the last DOGE meeting," referring to a March 6 meeting where Trump established boundaries on the billionaire's authority following criticism of new cuts by the Department of Government Efficiency. Trump indicated on Truth Social that follow-up meetings would occur every two weeks, with Monday's meeting roughly matching that schedule. This meeting comes as Trump's administration confronts legal challenges regarding immigration and prepares to announce new tariffs โ€” while Musk continues to attract scrutiny over his role. On Friday, Trump rejected a report that Musk would receive a briefing on U.S. military plans for a potential China conflict during a Pentagon visit, […]

Federal Workers Face Uncertainty After Court-Ordered Reinstatements

Raphael Garcia, a Department of Veterans Affairs analyst who was fired last month during President Donald Trump's initiative to reduce the federal workforce, learned this week of his reinstatement following orders from two federal judges. However, Garcia's professional uncertainty continues. Rather than returning to work, he has been placed on administrative leave while the Trump administration appeals the judge's rulings. Though verbally assured he'll receive back pay during his leave period, the tumultuous early days of Trump's second term have left Garcia skeptical. "I'll believe it when I see it," he told NBC News, noting he won't know if his salary has resumed until late March's pay period ends. Garcia is among 24,000 probationary federal workers caught in career uncertainty as Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency works to transform federal bureaucracy. These employees have experienced abrupt terminations and reinstatements, […]

Trump Forces Amtrak CEO’s Sudden Exit as Musk Eyes Railway Privatization

Amtrak CEO Stephen Gardner resigned immediately after more than four years leading the national passenger railroad, following pressure from the White House administration. Sources indicate the decision came at President Trump's request. Gardner stated he was stepping down to "ensure that Amtrak continues to enjoy the full faith and confidence of this administration." Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy emphasized the need to address safety and security concerns at Washington's Union Station, particularly regarding homelessness and crime affecting commuter safety. Meanwhile, presidential advisor Elon Musk has suggested privatizing the railroad. Despite previous attempts to reduce federal funding, Congress recently approved $2.42 billion for Amtrak through September 2024. The railroad has shown strong performance, with ridership exceeding pre-pandemic levels and reaching 32.8 million customer trips in 2023, a 15% increase. Passenger revenue grew 9% to $2.5 billion, while operating losses decreased 9% to […]

Global Markets PLUNGE as Trump’s Tariff Hits Canada, Mexico, and China!

Financial markets declined sharply as President Donald Trump confirmed the implementation of 25% tariffs on Canadian and Mexican imports, along with an additional 10% tariff on Chinese goods, effective Tuesday. Trump announced at the White House that negotiations had concluded without agreements. "No room left for Mexico or for Canada. The tariffs are all set." Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Joly announced retaliatory measures, preparing $155bn in counter-tariffs on US products, with an initial $30bn targeting everyday items including pasta, clothing, and perfume. She emphasized that while Canada wishes to avoid trade conflict, they would respond to US actions. Mexico and China have similarly pledged retaliatory measures. Trump justified the tariffs citing concerns over illegal drugs and immigration, despite a one-month negotiation period with Canada and Mexico. Chinese goods already face a 10% tariff imposed in February. Trump maintains that tariffs […]

Lawsuit Challenges Trump’s Early Termination of Temporary Protected Status for Haitians and Venezuelans

Three immigrant advocacy organizations filed a lawsuit Monday seeking to block the Trump administration's decision to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) earlier than scheduled for people from Haiti and Venezuela living in the U.S. Last month, President Donald Trump's administration rescinded the TPS extension that had been granted under President Joe Biden through February 2026, instead requiring Haitians to leave by August 3 and Venezuelans by April 2. Lawyers for Civil Rights, representing the groups and four affected individuals, said this is the first lawsuit filed on behalf of Haitians in the U.S. under TPS. Two separate lawsuits were previously filed challenging the decision regarding Venezuelans. "TPS is a critical lifeline for immigrants who have fled extreme violence, political upheaval, and natural disasters in their home countries," said LCR senior attorney Mirian Albert. The White House has not responded to […]

Trump Claims He Can ‘End Ukraine War’ as US Cuts Secret Deal with Putin

The Trump administration and Russian officials held their first direct talks on ending the Ukraine war in Saudi Arabia, marking a significant shift in US diplomatic strategy that excluded Ukraine from the initial discussions. The 4.5-hour meeting in Riyadh represented the first direct US-Russian diplomatic engagement in resolving Europe's deadliest conflict since World War Two. During the talks, Russia maintained its firm stance against Ukraine joining NATO. President Trump expressed optimism following the meeting, indicating he would likely meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin before month's end. Trump dismissed concerns about Ukraine's absence, suggesting Kyiv should have initiated negotiations earlier, and claimed he could end the conflict. The talks have sparked controversy, with European leaders expressing concern about negotiations occurring without Ukraine's involvement. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz emphasized that decisions cannot be made without Ukraine's participation. Some European politicians criticized […]
