as much pain as possible on the American people” 2 replies
President Donald Trump talks about placing tariffs on Canadian goods. Ontario Premier Doug Ford talks about “inflicting as much pain as possible on the American people.” See the difference? Tell me again how the term “snowmexicans” is insulting. (snip\ Doug Ford doesn’t quite understand that tariffs on steel, aluminum and auto imports are not part of the “reciprocity” tariff regime. They are an entirely different category classified under national security directives to ensure American industrial capacity.
(snip) Doug Ford might want to consider the end of this continuum that finds the word “embargo”(snip)Perhaps President Trump would consider elevating the conversation to “reciprocity” in the banking
Trump announced the move on Truth Social on March 27, citing the narrow majority that the GOP has in the House of Representatives.
“As we advance our America First Agenda, it is essential that we maintain EVERY Republican Seat in Congress,” he wrote. “We must be unified to accomplish our Mission, and Elise Stefanik has been a vital part of our efforts from the very beginning.
Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, who was an outspoken critic of measures implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic, gained Senate confirmation to head the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in a vote of 53–47 on March 25.
Bhattacharya is aligned on multiple issues with his new boss, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., including addressing the nation’s chronic disease epidemic.
A physician and former Stanford University professor, Bhattacharya first drew public attention in 2020 for his criticism of COVID-19-era interventions such as mask mandates, lockdowns, and school closures.

Sen. Peter Welch, D-Vt., quoted Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s disastrous decision in a would-be landmark speech-censorship case in order to argue that the federal government was not engaged in mass censorship of conservatives.
During the Senate Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on The Constitution hearing, Welch said the Supreme Court “rejected the allegation that government had unconstitutionally censored conservatives by pressuring social media companies to take down posts.”
“That was a 6-3 decision by Judge Amy Coney Barrett that found no merits to the claims.

courts: ‘Desperate times call for desperate measures’ 9 replies
Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) on Tuesday drew attention to Congress’s power over the federal judiciary as Republicans plot how to legislatively channel their outrage over district judges who have blocked Trump administration actions.
“We do have authority over the federal courts,” Johnson said in a press conference Tuesday. “We can eliminate an entire district court. We do have power over funding over the courts and all these other things. But desperate times call for desperate measures, and Congress is going to act.”
Johnson clarified that he was not calling to eliminate courts, but rather meant to illustrate Congress’s broad scope of authority, Punchbowl News reported.
FBI Director Kash Patel, CIA Director John Ratcliffe and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard are among the witnesses who testify today before the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI).
The SSCI is the center of the organization silo in Washington DC that permits the Intelligence Community to operate as a fourth branch of government. The hearing today on global and domestic threats was previously scheduled and ‘coincidentally’ now falls on the heels of revelations surrounding a group text chat about Trump administration operations in Yemen.
According to Jeffrey Goldberg from The Atlantic [SEE HERE], National Security Advisor Mike Waltz invited him to a group chat on the Signal app, where various Trump administration officials and cabinet members were discussing how to address the Houthi rebels in Yemen in advance of military airstrikes.
The media is having a field day with the story, and it does have multiple angles that will unfold in the next several days and weeks. Some media even claiming the story could take down Mike Waltz and/or Pete Hegseth due to the national security implications in the series of events [Politico Here]. However, I wouldn’t go that far at all.

Months before he blocked President Donald Trump’s deportations of illegal alien gang members, U.S. District Court Judge James Boasberg attended a privately-funded legal conference in Idaho that featured sponsors and speakers who have expressed clear anti-Trump sentiments -- particularly on immigration -- and a theme that echoed the Democrat Party’s 2024 stated mission of saving democracy, according to a judicial ethics report.Boasberg was one of nine Democrat-appointed judges and three Trump nominated jurists to attend the conference in ritzy Sun Valley, where two of the four sessions were titled “Role of Judges in a Democracy” and the “State of Democracy," the report shows.

There are activist judges… and then there’s Jeb Boasberg. While other radical judges dabble in partisanship, Boasberg has set the gold standard. He’s what every weaponized, DC swamp judge aspires to be: shameless, biased, and proudly unaccountable.This guy checks all the boxes:
NeverTrump leadership? ✔️
Judge shopping games? ✔️
Absurd cruelty toward J6 defendants? ✔️
Boasberg isn’t just on the bench—he’s leading the resistance in a long, black robe.
As a matter of fact, Judge Boasberg is even a fellow at a NeverTrump organization called the Rodel Institute.

The National Education Association (NEA) joined forces with other left-wing organizations to sue the Trump administration for dismantling the federal Department of Education and returning education decisions to states and localities.
The NEA filed a lawsuit on Monday alongside the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) Maryland Council 3, and others to try to stop the Trump administration from taking steps to prepare the department for closure.
Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has rejected the proposal to use United Nations (U.N) peacekeepers in Ukraine as part of a ceasefire operation. Two years ago, Zelenskyy was asking for U.N peacekeepers [SEE HERE] so, what changed?
Volodymyr Zelenskyy is asking for “security guarantees” during a ceasefire. The U.N peacekeepers are proposed as a potential peacekeeping group to provide those “security guarantees” he says are so important. Zelenskyy rejects the idea, seemingly demanding that NATO put their troops on the ground.

A Greenlandic tourism business which was due to host Usha Vance has canceled the trip amid the Trump administration's 'underlying agenda' for the visit. [Snip] It was initially billed as a family-friendly holiday with Usha and one of her children... Then it emerged that she would be joined by embattled National Security advisor Mike Waltz, sparking fury among the nation's leaders--including the prime minister. But the final straw came when Usha's husband, Vice President JD Vance revealed he, too, would join her on the trip... [Snip] 'After closer consideration, however, we have now informed the consulate that we do not want her visit,' the store said.
A divided federal appeals court panel ruled Wednesday that the Trump administration could not immediately use the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to quickly deport suspected members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua.
The 2-1 ruling was handed down two days after a contentious hearing before the DC Circuit Court of Appeals, in which the Justice Department tried to lift a 14-day stay imposed by DC US District Judge James Boasberg.
During the hearing, Judge Patricia Millett harshly questioned the Trump Justice Department about its handling of the deportations — at one point saying, “Nazis got better treatment under the Alien Enemies Act [during World War II] than has happened here.”
Passwords and private information belonging to top national security officials in the Trump administration have been found online, according to the German publicationDer Spiegel.
In a stunning report published on Wednesday, the paper said its journalists “used commercial people search engines along with hacked customer data that has been published on the web.” Those whose information was compromised include Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, and National Security Advisor Mike Waltz.
“We welcome this continued relief for tens of thousands of refugees who will now have the opportunity to restart their lives in the United States,” said Melissa Keaney, the progressive lawyer for the elite-funded, anti-borders International Refugee Assistance Project. In a second courtroom in Seattle, another federal judge ordered the Trump administration to keep paying the quasi-government agencies that settle the refugees in Americans’ crowded housing, schools, and workplaces, such as in Springfield, Ohio.
As Robert F. Kennedy Jr. settles into his role as President Donald Trump’s health secretary, one major promise he’s made is still on table - banning pharmaceutical ads.
Kennedy has been a longtime critic of the promotion of drugs on TV, and others high up in Trump’s cabinet and advisorship have agreed in recent months.
Drug advertising on TV
The backstory:
Up until the mid-1980s, pharmaceutical companies gave information about their products only to doctors and pharmacists. Later that decade, some drug companies began giving the general public more direct access to the information, according to the FDA, leading to the advertising that we see on TV today.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) continues to fund more than a billion dollars in diversity, equity and inclusion programs, even after President Donald Trump ordered federal agencies to eliminate them.
While other agencies have moved to eliminate the “illegal and immoral programs” targeted in Trump’s day-one executive order, NIH is still funding over $1.3 billion in active grants that include DEI components — from race-based hiring schemes to “anti-racist” training initiatives and diversity-first faculty pipelines. At least $441 million of those grants explicitly cite DEI in their project descriptions, according to NIH data compiled by watchdog group Do No Harm.
Maxine vs. Melania

Just when you think the far-left circus couldn’t get any more clownish, Congresswoman Maxine Waters grabs a mic and reminds us why she’s the poster child for political absurdity. In a bizarre outburst, Waters floated the idea that former First Lady Melania Trump should have been deported—a statement so mindless, it would be laughable if it weren’t so telling. In her desperate attempt to “own” the Trumps, Waters did something utterly unexpected: she accidentally made the strongest case yet for legal immigration done right.
Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, says hundreds of illegal aliens “should have been afforded the right” to deny that they are associated with the Tren de Aragua or MS-13 gangs before they were deported from the United States by President Donald Trump’s administration.
As Breitbart News reported, Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act to begin deporting hundreds of illegal alien gang members with Tren de Aragua and the MS-13 gangs, both of which are now designated as terrorist organizations.
Washington—President Trump announced a 25% tariff on foreign-made cars Wednesday — saying it would boost domestic manufacturing.
Trump, 78, announced the move in the Oval Office, saying that “this is gonna lead to the construction of a lot of plants” to build cars domestically.(Photo) “We’ll effectively be charging a 25% tariff, but if you build your car in the United States, there is no tariff,” he said.
White House staff secretary Will Scharf announced that the action was projected to raise $100 billion in revenue — though analysis has suggested it may also sharply reduce import volume.

The Atlantic's editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg refused to reveal the status of the phone he was using when the Trump Administration added him to a top secret war plans group text. [Snip] He also told Darcy he was not concerned about retaliation from federal authorities for publishing some of the messages. [Snip] ...he is considering releasing more of the group chat messages. 'My colleagues and I and the people who are giving us advice on this have some interesting conversations to have about this,' Goldberg told Tim Miller on the Bulwark Podcast. 'But just because they're irresponsible with material, doesn't mean that I'm going to be irresponsible.'
More migrants are fleeing into Canada across the border than are coming south into the US after President Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration, sources told The Post.
Homeland Security sources said that there are “lots of northbounders” now running scared and “self-deporting” from the US with Trump back in office. In a remote stretch of Washington state, border agents report seeing an average of five migrants crossing illegally north into Canada each day.
The numbers were starting to pick up even before the Trump administration began in full force.
Senator Mark Warner (D-VA) said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and CIA director John Ratcliffe “lied” under oath to the Senate Intelligence Committee when denying classified information was included in a Signal group chat on military strikes against the Houthis.[Snip] the reason why I say it’s a pattern, in the first two weeks of the administration, they inadvertently released the names of 200 new CIA agents.[Snip] There’s not a day that goes by that you guys don’t report another one of the DOGE boys in one of classified agencies giving up personal information.
