The E.U. announced tariffs on about $28 billion worth of products, including beef and whiskey, mostly produced by Republican-dominated states. \u201cWe deeply regret this measure,\u201d European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said. \u201cTariffs are taxes.

But withholding that clarity is what gives Trump leverage and attention.<\/p>\n<p>Business executives and investors don\u2019t know how to respond to President Trump\u2019s ever-changing tariff policies. If they were confident that tariffs would remain fairly modest, they could proceed with their investment plans undisturbed. And if they knew that a particular immodest tariff policy was on its way in, they could at least adjust their plans to account for the coming policy environment. But the current situation \u2014 where tariffs are likely to be a lot higher in the future, but nobody knows how much higher or on which products \u2014 just leaves them not knowing what to do with their capital.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessreport.com\/article\/one-of-the-biggest-potential-victims-of-the-new-tariffs-the-ford-f-150\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">One of the biggest potential victims of the new tariffs: The Ford F-150<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-581\" title=\"Ford F-150\" src=\"https:\/\/kewus.net\/yesterday\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Ford-F-150.png\" alt=\"Ford F-150\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1063\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kewus.net\/yesterday\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Ford-F-150.png 1920w, https:\/\/kewus.net\/yesterday\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Ford-F-150-300x166.png 300w, https:\/\/kewus.net\/yesterday\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Ford-F-150-1024x567.png 1024w, https:\/\/kewus.net\/yesterday\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Ford-F-150-768x425.png 768w, https:\/\/kewus.net\/yesterday\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Ford-F-150-1536x850.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><br \/>\nAmerica\u2019s favorite pickup truck may stand among the most impacted by President Donald Trump\u2019s aluminum and steel tariffs, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/business\/autos\/trump-metal-tariffs-auto-industry-c964a59a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Wall Street Journal reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>One of the industry\u2019s largest users of aluminum in the United States is Ford\u2019s F-150 pickup truck, which also doubles as the nation\u2019s top-selling vehicle.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsnationnow.com\/business\/canada-200-percent-dairy-tariff-fact-check\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Does Canada really have tariffs above 200% on US dairy products?<\/a><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>US doesn\u2019t hit level of tariff-free sales for 200%-plus tariffs to kick in<\/li>\n<li>Trump negotiated the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement in 2018<\/li>\n<li>US has \u2018never gotten close\u2019 to exceeding quotas: Dairy groups<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/eeagli.substack.com\/p\/the-war-on-inflation-is-being-wonbut\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The war on inflation is being won&#8230;but!<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>&#8230;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-585\" title=\"U.S. consumer price index Jan. 2021-Feb.2025\" src=\"https:\/\/kewus.net\/yesterday\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/U.S.-consumer-price-index-Jan.-2021-Feb.2025.webp\" alt=\"U.S. consumer price index Jan. 2021-Feb.2025\" width=\"1272\" height=\"917\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kewus.net\/yesterday\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/U.S.-consumer-price-index-Jan.-2021-Feb.2025.webp 1272w, https:\/\/kewus.net\/yesterday\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/U.S.-consumer-price-index-Jan.-2021-Feb.2025-300x216.webp 300w, https:\/\/kewus.net\/yesterday\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/U.S.-consumer-price-index-Jan.-2021-Feb.2025-1024x738.webp 1024w, https:\/\/kewus.net\/yesterday\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/U.S.-consumer-price-index-Jan.-2021-Feb.2025-768x554.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1272px) 100vw, 1272px\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>This inflation number might be too good to last<\/strong><br \/>\nKeep an eye on the details beneath the headlines.

A sleazy former Republican state senator from Tennessee by the name of Brian Kelsey is the latest beneficiary of Trump&#8217;s pardon largess. He was convicted in a campaign finance scam in 2022 after pleading guilty in a deal with federal prosecutors that he later tried to withdraw. His withdrawal motion was denied, and he had begun serving a 21-month sentence in a minimum security prison camp in Kentucky when Trump came through with his pardon on Tuesday.<br \/>\n&#8230;<br \/>\nPardons are not the only avenue of Trump&#8217;s assault on the rule of law. A senior official in the Department of Justice Office of the Pardon Attorney, Elizabeth Oyer, was fired yesterday for refusing to go along with restoring the gun rights of Hollywood asshole Mel Gibson, who had been convicted of domestic violence in 2011 and had his gun rights suspended under a provision of the law that bans the ownership of guns by persons convicted of domestic violence. \u201cWithin hours of my decision not to do that, I was escorted out of my office by DOJ security officers,\u201d Oyer told reporters after being fired. Oyer told the Washington Post, \u201cI think it is important to shed some light on what is going on in the Department of Justice. It is incredibly difficult for people who are still there to speak up, and people who are still there fear retaliation from the current administration.\u201d Oyer had submitted a list of people who had been vetted for the restoration of their gun rights because 20 years had passed since their conviction for nonviolent crimes, and they had maintained a record of exemplary conduct since then. The execrable Gibson, who had a record of other instances of domestic abuse, was not on her list. When she was ordered to add his name and refused, she was fired.<\/p>\n<hr style=\"margin-left: -1em;\" \/>\n<li>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/doge-operatives-access-social-security-administration\/\" target=\"_blank\">These Are the 10 DOGE Operatives Inside the Social Security Administration<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>The team working at the Social Security Administration appears to be among the largest DOGE units deployed to any government agency.<\/p>\n<p>At least 10 people associated with Elon Musk\u2019s so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) are now working at the Social Security Administration (SSA), according to government records reviewed by WIRED; this includes a number of young engineers whose presence at the SSA has not been reported.

History bears that out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bob Clifford, Clifford Law Offices<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Even the plaintiffs\u2019 bar was surprised by the actions against Perkins Coie.<\/p>\n<p>Bob Clifford, of Clifford Law Offices in Chicago, who has an April 7 trial planned against Boeing over the Ethiopian Airlines 737 Max 8 crash in 2019, said the order raises questions about whether Perkins Coie can continue to represent the aircraft manufacturer.<\/p>\n<p>The Boeing trial is in federal court in Chicago, and the order bars Perkins Coie employees from access to federal buildings in circumstances that \u201cwould threaten the national security of or otherwise be inconsistent with the interests of the United States. These things are real threats to democracy because it appears that there\u2019s an intolerance to contrary views,\u201d Clifford said. \u201cThese are pretty scary times. You say something contrary, and they\u2019re in attack mode against you. What happened to free speech and social discourse?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCertainly, the potential exists that this could impact Boeing\u2019s representation by that firm,\u201d Clifford said. But he questioned how such an order would be enforced. \u201cWhen the Perkins Coie lawyer shows up, how does the U.S. Marshal know he\u2019s barred from the building? Or is it a self-policing type of thing?\u201d Clifford said.<\/p>\n<p>In reality, he anticipated the order wouldn\u2019t disrupt the trial given that Winston &#038; Strawn is Boeing\u2019s lead counsel and Perkins Coie is assisting in the case.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut these are such strange times, who the hell knows?\u201d Clifford said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>David Neff, Retired Practice Group Leader, Perkins Coie<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Trump&#8217;s order targeting Perkins Coie is a warning sign for many law firms, said Neff, who retired from Perkins Coie in December after serving as co-chairman of both its financial transactions and restructuring practice group, and hotels &#038; leisure practice group.<\/p>\n<p>The order isn\u2019t limited to lawyers working in government contracting but accuses Perkins Coie of racially discriminating against its own attorneys and staff and representing \u201cactivist donors.\u201d It also references Perkins Coie\u2019s lawyers being sanctioned by at least one court.<\/p>\n<p>Neff said 95% of large law firms had some hiring practices that encouraged diversity, or had a lawyer who had been sanctioned. Dozens work with \u201cactivist donors,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Law firm leaders have a reason to be scared that they\u2019ll be next on Trump\u2019s radar screen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat would you do if you were the chairperson of a major New York firm?\u201d Neff said. \u201cUnless these law firms start to have a spine, and stand up for what is right, they are basically being complicit. And some of them not only will be even worse, they will gladly take business away and say, \u2018thank God we\u2019re not in the same boat as Covington and Perkins Coie.\u2019 We\u2019ve seen that in history before.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But Neff, who started his 39-year legal career at DLA Piper and Jenner &#038; Block, remained hopeful that law firm leaders wouldn\u2019t stay silent. He called on law firm leaders to speak up about the order, which, unlike the Covington &#038; Burling action, is much broader in scope.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is an order designed to destroy a major law firm that has historically represented the Democratic party,\u201d Neff said. \u201cLet\u2019s call it as it is. And my point is other law firms should not be complicit in this order by substituting in as Perkins Coie in cases, and judges shouldn\u2019t be complicit in allowing that to occur.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have great faith in the people who run these large law firms and partners of the large law firms,\u201d he added. \u201cThey are largely horrified by this order. Will they do anything about it remains to be seen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Delaware Supreme Court Chief Justice Collins J. Seitz Jr.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Harassment of judges is seeing an uptick and COVID-19 appears to have given rise to the trend, said Collins J. Seitz Jr., chief justice of the Delaware Supreme Court.<\/p>\n<p>Seitz emphasizes that he is not commenting specifically about Musk or any of the electric car magnate&#8217;s Delaware cases, or related legislation to change the state&#8217;s corporate laws. But the public, on social media, seems to feel licensed to attack judges over decisions that may be unpopular, he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt does seem like we&#8217;re in a new world now where people feel free to not just attack the decisions\u2014which is perfectly fair, to criticize judges and their decisions\u2014but they start attacking the judges and their families. That&#8217;s where it seems like we&#8217;ve crossed a line where something needs to be done.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While Delaware and other states have passed laws limiting public posting of judges&#8217; addresses and other personal information, Seitz said fear is deterring some attorneys from becoming judges.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is a very difficult job. The last thing we want to do is have another factor that keeps people away from engaging in this vital public service. It really doesn&#8217;t bother me what people say about me over social media, but it does bother a lot of our judges. It bothers me on behalf of the judiciary when judges are unfairly attacked personally for their decisions. And I&#8217;ve made an effort to start calling it out more.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>District Judge Julie Kocurek, Austin, Texas<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On the state court level, threats against judges are growing rapidly and most are not related to politics, said Kocurek, who was shot outside her home in 2015. Kocurek&#8217;s assailant was a defendant who she had sentenced in a credit card fraud case.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I was in the hospital for 40 days. I had 26 surgeries while I was in there. I mean, I should not be alive. I feel very, very, very fortunate to be alive. I didn\u2019t want to go back to work, but I realized that this was an attack on our justice system and I had to go back. And so I&#8217;ve been on the bench since,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>Texas lawmakers enacted a bill aimed at enhancing security for judges in 2017. Kocurek said data collected in Texas shows the volume of threats against judges in the state courts is growing rapidly. Many of the threats are related to child custody cases, she said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;All of our civil judges get threats about their child custody cases. So that is a hotbed of retaliation. And the criminal courts are too because we&#8217;re dealing with such high-risk people anyway,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think it&#8217;s an important issue that is kind of the foundation of our democracy, or the third branch of government, for judges to feel safe, to follow the law and to uphold the rule of law and not feel intimidated or fearful. It just goes to the heart of what we do. And when judges don&#8217;t feel safe, it erodes our system, our justice system,&#8221; Kocurek said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>[about 10 more respondents]<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why we need a new free speech movement And why universities should sue the Trump regime for abridging the First Amendment rights of their institutions and their students The Trump regime is actively suppressing speech at major American universities.
