  1. The #tariffs hit hundreds of #US products, including steel, aluminum, cheese, appliances, clothing, cosmetics & farm equipment, at rates of 15%, 25% or 50%.

  6. #Canada struck back at #Trump Tuesday with #tariffs on about $20 billion worth of #US goods, in response to the latest round of #TrumpTariffs on Canada.

    The outcome could resonate far beyond Canada, showing other governments whether a smaller US ally can withstand Trump’s economic pressure [ #MafiaState ].

  10. The posts were Trump’s most explicit efforts yet to direct the #FCC to carry out his wishes. FCC Chair #BrendanCarr, a Trump appointee & close ally, did not respond to request for comment.

    #Trump posted a long missive Sunday about what he described as mischaracterizations of his endorsement record in primaries.

  11. The #FCC, led by its chairman, #BrendanCarr, called for an unusual, early review of the broadcast licenses last spring, citing ABC’s internal diversity & inclusion practices. None of the #ABC licenses, which have terms of 8 years, were up for renewal yet. Carr’s decision came after the ABC late-night host, #JimmyKimmel, angered #Trump with a monologue joke.

  12. #Trump border czar, #TomHoman, has warned that there will be more “bloodshed” unless #Democrats “shut their mouths.”

    Following the back-to-back fatal #shootings [ #murders ] of a Colombian native in Maine & a Mexican man in Houston by #ICE, the Trump admin has tried to shift the blame onto Democratic leaders who have been educating #immigrants on their #rights.

  13. #Trump has long been a harsh critic of the #news #media. But in his second term in office, he has moved aggressively to use the immense powers of the federal government in his efforts to attack the #press.

    Earlier this year, the #DOJ sought to compel testimony from #journalists at The Wall Street Journal & The Washington Post. The DOJ withdrew the #subpoenas after both news organizations fought back in sealed filings.

  14. The #subpoenas contain few specifics, asking only that the #journalists testify “in regard to an alleged violation of federal criminal law.” They were issued by #JayClayton, the #USattorney in Manhattan. Clayton, who leads one of the country’s most prominent law enforcement offices, was recently nominated by #Trump to serve as director of national intelligence [ #DNI ].

  15. In some cases, the #subpoenas were delivered by federal agents who showed up at #reporters’ homes.

    The #NYT denounced the admin’s actions.

    “The appearance of federal law enforcement agents on the doorstep of news reporters should shock the conscience of any American who believes in the #Constitution & the #PressFreedom it protects,” said David McCraw, The NYT’s top newsroom lawyer, in a statement Friday evening.

  16. The brothers & attorney representing the family of #ReneeGood, a 37-yr-old #Minnesota woman who was #murdered when an #ICE agent shot into her vehicle, are also expected to speak at the event, which is organized by Democratic lawmakers — Sen #RichardBlumenthal (CT) & Rep #RobertGarcia (CA).

  17. While the #subpoenas did not cite a specific criminal statute [there isn’t one that applies] that #DOJ was “investigating”, the inquiry is purportedly said to focus on whether elected officials in #Minnesota had conspired to impede the thousands of federal agents who have been in the state since last month looking for undocumented immigrants [big wink].

  18. The subpoenas sought documents from Gov #TimWalz, Mayor #JacobFrey of #Minneapolis & Mayor #KaohlyHer of #StPaul related to their policies on immigration enforcement efforts in the state. 2 Minnesota #prosecutors, #KeithEllison, the state AG, & #MaryMoriarty, the #HennepinCounty attorney, were also sent similar subpoenas.
