President Trump has signed an executive order barring student loan forgiveness for public servants engaged in 'improper activities.'
This affects the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program, which previously allowed government and non-profit employees to have their
federal student debt forgiven.
The administration claims this move targets those involved in illegal immigration support or other law-breaking activities.
A heated White House meeting saw Elon Musk and Secretary of State Marco Rubio clash over government job
cuts.
Musk accused Rubio of failing to reduce staff, while Rubio fired back, highlighting over 1,500 State Department employees
who took early retirement.
The tension reflects growing frustration over Musk’s aggressive cost-cutting measures in government agencies.
Trump is weighing the withdrawal of 35,000 U.S.
troops from Germany, potentially redeploying them to Hungary.
The move is part of his push for NATO allies to increase their defense spending.
Critics argue this could weaken U.S.
influence in Europe, while supporters say it aligns with Trump’s 'America First' policy.
Trump has once again flip-flopped on tariffs, threatening new levies on Canadian dairy and lumber while delaying others.
His unpredictable trade policies have caused market uncertainty, with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau calling the tariffs 'very
dumb.' Business leaders are urging Trump to provide more clarity.
Minnesota Senator Tina Smith is making waves by openly criticizing Trump and Musk.
She called Musk a 'jerk boss' for his treatment of federal workers and vowed to stand with employees
over billionaires.
With no re-election concerns, Smith is speaking out more boldly than many of her Democratic colleagues.
