Bush’s ‘War on Terror’ Helped Create Trump’s Terrifying War On Immigrants
It’s that threat that you saw the Trump administration invoking in order to terrorize immigrants,” said J. That same day, the administration rushed three flights holding 238 Venezuelans and 23 Salvadorans it claimed were gang members, without evidence in most cases, off to El Salvador. A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to halt the removals and turn the flights around, but the administration did not comply. Once in El Salvador, the migrants were sent to an infamous maximum security prison called the Centro de Confinamiento del Terrorismo (CECOT). The U.S. is reportedly paying El Salvador about $6 million to imprison the detainees.

Judge Rules That Columbia University Activist Mahmoud Khalil Can Be Deported
(AP) — Columbia University graduate student Mahmoud Khalil can be forced out of the country as a national security risk, an immigration judge in Louisiana ruled Friday after lawyers argued the legality of deporting the activist who participated in pro-Palestinian demonstrations. The government’s contention that Khalil’s presence in the U.S. posed “potentially serious foreign policy consequences” satisfied requirements for deportation, Immigration Judge Jamee E. Comans said at a hearing in Jena. AdvertisementThe university summoned police to dismantle the encampment after a small group of protesters seized an administration building. The White House accused Khalil of “siding with terrorists” but has yet to cite any support for the claim. Support HuffPost Already contributed?

Trump's Spin On His Tariffs Conveniently Leaves 1 Major Thing Out
The White House would clarify on Thursday that the new tariff on China was actually 145%. “You have been watching the greatest economic master strategy from an American President in history,” White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller posted on X (formerly known as Twitter). Trump’s trade war is still on, and it’s going to screw families particularly hard. Coupled with the massive tax increase on Chinese goods, these are disastrous: Yale University’s Budget Lab estimates that the tariffs will cost the average household $4,700. AdvertisementThe Chinese tariffs are so high that the United States is now in uncharted territory in its trade relationship with the country.

U.S. Egg Prices Soar To Record High, Despite Donald Trump's Prediction
LOADING ERROR LOADINGU.S. egg prices increased again last month to reach a new record-high of $6.23 per dozen despite President Donald Trump’s predictions, a drop in wholesale prices and no egg farms having bird flu outbreaks.

Where Things Stand For Trump In Global Tariff Battle
Trump on Wednesday said investors were getting “yippy,” but after his tariff pause he described the bond market as “beautiful.”AdvertisementThe tariff drama is far from doneThe S&P 500 stock index jumped 9.5% after the pause was announced. Sure, Trump was no longer going to put a 20% tariff on goods from the European Union, a 24% tariff on Japan or 25% on South Korea. Despite U.S. President Donald Trump's declared 90-day tariff pause for many countries, uncertainty remains in global trade, with the Dow and other international markets falling steeply again. The Budget Lab at Yale University estimated Thursday that even with the pause, Trump’s current tariff regime would pull down a household’s average disposable income by $4,364. “Well, we’ll see what happens with China,” Trump said.

White House Marks 6,000 Migrants As Dead So That They 'Self-Deport': Reports
LOADING ERROR LOADINGPresident Donald Trump’s administration has reportedly taken a drastic new step to force out undocumented Latino immigrants: marking 6,000 of them as dead. “President Trump promised mass deportations, and by removing the monetary incentive for illegal aliens to come and stay, we will encourage them to self-deport,” White House spokesperson Elizabeth Huston wrote in a statement. “He is delivering on his promise he made to the American people.”A White House official told the Post that of the 6,000 immigrants targeted, nearly 1,000 are collecting Medicaid, 41 are collecting unemployment insurance and 22 are receiving student loans. AdvertisementA source told the Times that the list included a 13-year-old and seven other minors. The Social Security Administration acknowledged in a blog post last month that being incorrectly put on its “Death Master File” could be highly damaging not only to that person’s well-being, but to that of their families too.

Uncertainty became a commodity as Trump ignored his economic advisors in A Tale of Two Stephens
Initially Peter Navarro got the blame for the current disaster that is Trump’s trade policy, but the insanity now reveals its arcane origin. "Trump is stupid, erratic and weak," Paul Krugman, one of the country's most prominent economists and a Nobel laureate, wrote. [8]In November 2024, Miran published A User's Guide to Restructuring the Global Trading System,[9] examining tools for reshaping international trade following Donald Trump's reelection. Analysts have hypothesized that the tariffs in the second Trump administration could be following this paper to end in the so-called "Mar-a-Lago Accord". Miran has asserted that the "economic consensus" against tariffs is "wrong," and claims that most tariff models do not account for trade deficits.

House Adopts Senate Budget Resolution As Conservatives Cave
LOADING ERROR LOADINGWASHINGTON ― House Republicans adopted a budget resolution on Thursday after conservatives received symbolic assurances from party leaders that they would support deeper spending cuts. The House previously adopted a budget calling for $1.5 trillion in spending cuts, only for the Senate to ignore it and send over a budget with only $4 billion in cuts.
