Bien résumé : « Tout au long de la réunion, M. Carney a gardé un sourire inquiet […] Il n'a jamais vraiment baissé la garde. M. Trump, quant à lui, avait l'air d'un homme confronté aux conséquences de ses propres actes et qui ne veut pas vraiment y faire face. » www.nytimes.com/2025/05/06/u...

"plus le Salvador est considéré comme une destination sûre par le département d'État, plus il sera compliqué pour un Salvadorien de ficeler un dossier de demande d'asile aux ÉU. Du pain bénit pour l'admin Trump, dont l'objectif est d'expulser un maximum d'individus." www.lepoint.fr/monde/pourqu...

National Institute for Occupational Safety & Health researchers work to protect miners from black lung disease, firefighters from cancer, and workers everywhere from dangerous workplace hazards. Trump is planning to fire 85% of them. Make no mistake: this will cost workers their lives.

Interesting: the Department of Justice just filed a sealed motion in the Abrego Garcia case. This comes after both sides agreed to a 7-day pause in discovery after a previous round of sealed motions. No clue what's going on. We'll have to wait and see.
