President Donald Trump delivers remarks in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, Friday, March 7, 2025. “I have an increasing fear we will enter into what may become known as the ‘Trump recession,’” he said. The White House maintains that Friday’s jobs report showed the administration’s strategy is working because manufacturers added 10,000 jobs.

The 99-page bill would provide a slight boost to defense programs while trimming nondefense programs below 2024 budget year levels. That approach is likely to be a nonstarter for most Democrats who have long insisted that defense and nondefense spending move in the same direction. House Republicans’ leadership staff outlined the contours of the measure Saturday, saying it would allow for about $892.5 billion in defense spending and about $708 billion in nondefense spending. The leadership aides said the deal does not include various side agreements designed to cushion nondefense programs spending from cuts. And under terms of that agreement, defense and nondefense spending were both set to increase 1% this year.

Jimmy Fallon Suggests The Next Country For Trump To Take Over And It's A DoozyJimmy Fallon taunted President Donald Trump over his expansion threats on “The Tonight Show” Thursday. (Watch the video below.)

No “Hamilton,” no problem, the Kennedy Center boasts in a “Late Show With Stephen Colbert” spoof on Thursday. (Watch the video below.)

As a Canadian, I’m reeling from the unraveling of a relationship I once believed to be unshakeable — a bond between our two nations that felt secure and enduring. Trump destroyed it and now rubs his cruelty and ignorance in our faces with every new threat of a tariff. As Prime Minister — not governor — Justin Trudeau recently noted, “We don’t want this.” We’re Canadian — polite, considerate, maddeningly the first to apologize. But right now, I don’t know a single Canadian saying, “I’m sorry.” Trump’s vicious, catastrophic, and destructive words and actions maim.
