"More than 600 Iron Range steelworkers out of work as auto industry cuts orders because of tariffs"

Please stop vandalizing Tesla vehicles. it's not a good strategy and besides, you don't need to to get them off the road www.reuters.com/business/aut...

"Extraordinary fear" takes hold at universities as Trump campaign threatens investigations or loss of federal funds.

Miami Beach Mayor Steven Meiner has dropped his threat to evict an art house cinema from city property for screening "No Other Land":

Universities now an almost immediate Sophie's choice. Cut distasteful deals with the Trump administration or plan to shrink without federal money and possibly spend years fighting in court. Soon there will be no middle ground and do not underestimate the difficulty of the choice

www.politico.com/news/2025/03... A couple of billionaires deciding that federal money going to food banks is a waste seems like it should be a poor satire.

I'll bet Team Trump is taking notes as Turkish dictator Erdogan arrests his chief rival, raids dissidents' homes and bans protests.

The administration gets bolder each time a strong institution bends the knee. We saw it in media: The LA Times pulls an endorsement. ABC offers a $15m settlement. The WaPo kills op-eds. Now, higher education: WSJ reports that Columbia is caving. Minutes later, White House puts $175m hit on Penn.

The Atlanta Fed GDP projection for first quarter has improved to a negative 1.8%

President Trump was sort of clear in an interview last night that he does not intend to defy federal judges but then suggested judges who rule against him are radical and should be removed

The more details that come out the more it seems Trump got next to nothing from Putin except a couple of hours of positive headlines that were misleading edition.cnn.com/2025/03/18/e...

Fixing a problem they couldn't prove actually exists in any significant amount is so 2025 #socialsecurity www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

The White House correspondents’ dinner is still on. Appetites vary. Folks you don't have to cancel it you just have to make a major change . raise all the money you wish for scholarships just don't make it a giant prom to boost your egos It's easy www.washingtonpost.com/style/media/...

If this happens Americans will not recognize their government

People sharing the latest polls as an indication that support for Trump is slumping are likely only seeing framing from biased sources. The truth: yes, the polls are down on his handling of the economy. But the other truth: his overall approval is higher than it has ever been. And Dems are *down.*

!! NEW: DOJ demands that the DC Circuit immediately reassign the case from Judge Boasberg, calling his questions "flagrantly improper" storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

It seems the predictions that his book tour would never occur are proving true

To my DC reporting friends, take this story as a lesson. Do not hold your normal White House correspondants association dinner. it will be embarrassing for all. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/16/u...

A collapsing leading economic indicator like this is almost unprecedented but in line with what Atlanta fed GDP predictor has picked up www.investing.com/news/economi...

Would seem the Trump administration has stepped up its decision to ignore federal judges on certain immigration deportation issues www.nytimes.com/2025/03/16/u...

Will the Trump administration honor all federal court rulings? We may have our test case right now www.nytimes.com/live/2025/03...

The Voice of America as we know it is over... completely shut down. It's possible it could be re formed as some sort of administration primping entity but that is not clear yet. It certainly would seem to be done as a source of news and information for the world

Consumer sentiment plummeted in March, with declines seen consistently across all groups by age, education, income, wealth, political affiliations (D & R), geographic regions.

That American airlines flight that caught fire on the ground was really just a few minutes from catching fire in the air we've learned. Another horrible disaster barely averted by pilots quick action getting that plane down unscheduled in Denver

Civiqs daily polling shows nearly 70% of Americans right now thank the economy is bad or very bad while about 30% think it's good or very good. The numbers have been slowly trending worse

To be clear because the reporting is a bit muddled, zelensky said yes to a 30-day cease fire after being pressured by Trump. Putin did not say yes. rather wanted to continue some sort of discussion. we'll see if Trump now puts any pressure on Putin like he did with Ukraine.
