In a major political upset, liberal judge Susan Crawford has won the Wisconsin Supreme Court race, defeating Trump-backed
Brad Schimel.
The race, the most expensive judicial contest in U.S.
history, became a referendum on Elon Musk, who poured millions into Schimel’s campaign.
Crawford declared, 'We took on the richest man in the world—and we won!' President Trump is set to
unveil sweeping global tariffs, with rates reportedly as high as 20% on most imports.
The move has drawn bipartisan concern, with even GOP senators like Rand Paul and Lisa Murkowski opposing tariffs
on Canada.
Trump calls April 2 'Liberation Day,' aiming to reshape global trade—but economists warn of rising prices and market
volatility.
Senator Cory Booker made history with a 25-hour speech protesting Trump’s agenda, breaking a record set by segregationist
Strom Thurmond.
Booker fasted and dehydrated himself to avoid breaks, calling it a stand for democracy.
'These are not normal times,' he said, urging Americans to resist with courage and compassion.
The Trump administration is seriously exploring the cost of acquiring Greenland, including offering more than Denmark’s $600M annual
subsidy.
Trump says the U.S.
could 'get' Greenland without military force, citing its strategic Arctic location.
Greenland’s leaders have firmly rejected the idea, calling it a 'colonial fantasy.' Newsmax, the Trump-endorsed conservative media outlet,
saw its stock soar over 2,200% in just two days, surpassing Fox Corp in market value.
Analysts compare the surge to meme stocks like GameStop, driven by retail investors.
CEO Christopher Ruddy is now worth over $9 billion.
Trump is preparing an executive order to ease restrictions on U.S.
weapons exports, potentially benefiting defense giants like Lockheed Martin and Boeing.
The move echoes his 2019 emergency declaration to bypass Congress on arms sales, raising concerns about oversight and
human rights.
