Die Folgen der drastischen Zollpolitik von Präsident Trump bekommen die US-Verbraucher womöglich an der eigenen Hose zu spüren: Der Jeans-Hersteller Levi's erwägt Preiserhöhungen. Von Angela Göpfert.

Trump tells UK to buy chlorinated chicken from US if it wants tariff relief

#SCOTUS handed #Trump a victory on Monday by letting him use the #AlienEnemiesAct, a 1798 #law that has been employed only in wartime, to swiftly deport alleged Venezuelan *gang members* as part of Trump's extreme #immigration policies.
The court granted the admin's request to lift Washington-based US Judge James #Boasberg's March 15 order that had temporarily blocked the summary #deportations under Trump's invocation of the AEA while litigation continues.

Best Sign (in terms of making the viewer think, historical refs, turnabout, etc.) I saw at our local #HandsOff rally today. 🙂 💕 👍
For those in the #US, now is the time to call #GOP senators and congresspeople to demand they vote for the one line resolution "There is no emergency" and therefor #Trump has no power to levy #tariffs. They must be forced to lift the equivalent of their legislative pinkies and end this madness, or we will rub their faces in the results--like a dog that's pissed on your best rug. 😠 The #FascistGOP must own this if they take no action to stop it!!
Yes & thank you.
#Tesla stock extended losses Mon, dropping below a price at which #Trump Commerce Secy #HowardLutnick predicted they’d never fall to again.
The shares plunged as much as 9.2% to $217.41 as of 9:41AM in NY, amid a broader selloff in global equity markets. Lutnick totally unethically said during a FauxNews interview on March 19—when Tesla closed at $235.86—that viewers should buy the stock, saying “it’ll never be this cheap again.”
Margaret Sullivan says she asked friends and relatives in various locations what kind of reporing their local media did about the massive worldwide protests Saturday against Trump:
"Quick answer: Not close to what it deserved."
Then she did her own research, and found:
"In the Wall Street Journal, the story’s placement was the 20th most important."

Big protests — but not big news
Throngs of anti-Trump and anti-Musk protesters gathered in every state. Why was some media coverage so quiet — or almost non-existent?Margaret Sullivan (American Crisis)
Musk/DOGE is a widely exposed single point of failure for international security. All it takes is for a state to overcome the personal security of inexperienced barely-post-tweens to essentially access all American information. There is no oversight on how the people's data is being handled. This is the worst kind of attack surface possible.

#Le #Pen ... fascist and scammer... thief ... a criminal
(obviously the populist far right supports her
ignoring the fact that she committed crime)
The same happened in #Italy (numerous times)
and in #America with #Trump
A seriou study on why the majority of criminals are extreme right supporters and politicians
should be done .
There must be a reason.
I was told the stock market would crash, unemployment and inflation would rise, our allies wouldn’t be taking us seriously anymore, the war in Ukraine would still be going, and the ceasefire in Israel would collapse if Kamala Harris became president. Good thing we avoided that.

"Many Americans are watching their retirement savings melt away because of President Trump’s disastrous trade policies. In normal downturns, they could at least reassure themselves that Social Security would always be there. The program was created during the Great Depression precisely because it was clear that the market would not provide for retirees."

This may come sound callous, but the information environment is so bad that I'm actually happy that Trump's crashing the economy.
There are a lot of people who don't give a shit about students being disappeared by secret police for WrongThink but care very much about their IRAs and grocery bills.
We'd be in a far worse position if #Trump had kept Biden's recovery rolling and took credit for it while blowing up our checks and balances destroying the rule of law.

Thousands protest against Trump and Musk in 'Hands Off!' rallies across US and Europe
Tens of thousands of protesters take part in an anti-Trump protest across 1,200 locations in what is expected to be the largest single day of protest against Mr Trump and his billionaire ally Elon Musk.ABC News
Mehr als 1.300 #Demonstrationen:
#Trump bittet #US-Bürger in #Zollstreit um Geduld
In etlichen #US-Städten protestierten Millionen Menschen nicht nur gegen #Trumps #Zollpolitik. Dieser reagiert mit Durchhalteparolen.
Wie viele Leute nun in der #USA gegen #Musk und #Trump bei #handsoff demonstriert haben ist scheinbar "STENG GEHEIM !"
Schein nicht nur bei der #TAZ, sondern bei allen Medien bis hin zur #Tagesschau "Verschlussache" zu sein:
Die Taz so:
"Die Organisatoren der Kundgebung am Samstag in der US-Hauptstadt hatten 20.000 Demonstranten erwartet, am Nachmittag meldeten sie aber bereits eine deutlich höhere Teilnehmerzahl."
Tagesschau so:
"Tausende"
Dann lasst es doch gleich ganz...
🇺🇸 I'm surprised to see a republican #US president talking or joking about a third term. Wouldn't the necessary constitutional change directly challenge the #conservative principles of their voter base?
Isn't this something #democrats & #republicans would agree on? 🤷

Can Trump serve a third term as US president?
Donald Trump says "a lot of people want me to do it" and supporters claim there's a loophole to the two-term constitutional limit.Graeme Baker (BBC News)
... the law firm at which #DougEmhoff, Kamala Harris’s husband, is a partner ( #Willkie, #Farr & #Gallagher), has cut a deal with Trump.
... the firm has agreed to gut its #DEI programs & to take on, pro bono, clients fighting alleged #antisemitism.

Most #pharmaceuticals are made at least in part in foreign nations
#Trump has been saying for weeks that he plans to impose #tariffs specifically on pharmaceuticals….He has said those levies could be 25% or higher. Drugmakers still expect tariffs targeting them to be announced soon.
“The pharmaceutical companies are going to come roaring back, …to our country because if they don’t, they got a big tax to pay,” Trump said Wed.

Trump’s Next Tariffs Target Could be Foreign-Made Pharmaceuticals

Both #Biden and #Trump are past their prime and not all there mentally.
There is a crucial difference in their presidencies, though: I didn't hear many people relying on Biden personally, but I hear a ton of people saying that these #tariffs don't seem right, but they trust that Trump knows what he's doing.
Even Trump supporters don't think it's right, but they think he knows what he's doing.
It's a mess.
Good take by @harvard_law profs Nikolas Bowie and Benjamin Eidelson:
bostonglobe.com/2025/04/04/opi…
"#Harvard has suffered real legal setbacks in recent years, including a major [#SCOTUS] loss on affirmative action, and some stakeholders may be leery of another public fight…But a 400-year-old institution should be making decisions with a time horizon of centuries, not news cycles. Making a principled stand now — with the law squarely on its side — is the single best thing Harvard could do to earn its continued place as a symbol of genuine excellence, free inquiry, and commitment to the public good. Filing suit would also enhance Harvard’s legal position going forward, as any retaliation by the administration would be an even clearer violation of the First Amendment."

🤬 #SCOTUS allows #Trump officials to freeze #teacher training grants over *#DEI*
A divided #SupremeCourt on Fri cleared the way for the admin to at least temporarily freeze up to $65M in #educational grants designed to address #TeacherShortages, which the govt says fund programs that promote #diversity, #equity & #inclusion [as they should, though the Trump admin’s definition of DEI is humanity].

After it was all over and everything was in ruins, many Germans found it hard to admit how deceived, duped, stupid, morally untethered they'd been.
They had believed God sent him to make their nation great again.
He was going to make Christianity and Germany manly again.
He had a secret plan, higher knowledge; even when what he did seemed crazy, there was a reason for it.
It would all work out in the end. He had it under control.
