Growing Fear Of 'Trump Recession' Amid Tariff Whiplash And DOGE Chaos
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. South Korea, India and Brazil could also face new tariffs, Trump said in his address to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday.

House GOP Unveils Spending Bill Just Days Before Shutdown Deadline
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.

“I want to see more rom-coms that have women that look like me, women that look like you, in the forefront,” Ashley tells me. Her portrayal of Kate Sharma in “Bridgerton” marked a significant step forward— not just for her career, but for South Asian representation in mainstream media.

I’m Canadian And Love Visiting The U.S., But I Refuse To Travel There Again Until Trump Is Gone
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.
