U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick confirmed Monday that a deal has been struck with automakers to ease tariffs—marking a potential policy reversal that could offer major relief to a struggling industry. The Wall Street Journal earlier reported that President Donald Trump is expected to announce a revamped tariff structure on vehicles that avoids piling new duties atop existing ones. Currently, imported cars face a 25% tariff, along with separate 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum—key materials used in car manufacturing. “This agreement is a major win for the President’s trade strategy,” Lutnick said in a statement to CNN. “It rewards companies that manufacture in the U.S. and gives a runway for those committed to expanding domestic production.” Details of the agreement remain under wraps, but a White House official told Reuters the deal will be formally unveiled Tuesday, when Trump visits Michigan—America’s automotive heartland—to commemorate the first 100 days of his second t...

Every election season, Americans are reminded of a long-standing political truth: The president doesn’t control the economy. Historians, journalists, and political analysts alike repeat the adage, noting that gas prices and grocery bills often sway voters, even though such factors are largely out of any one politician’s hands. That old saying isn’t wrong — it’s notoriously difficult for a single president to dramatically improve the economy on their own. But what we’re witnessing now is the flip side: a president who may not be able to fix the economy overnight, but can certainly break it. As of Tuesday, President Donald Trump has been in office for 100 days of his second term. And in just over three months, he’s launched an economic agenda so severe that historians may soon compare its impact not to policy debates, but to historic disasters. If his tariffs remain in effect, their damage could rival or even exceed the economic fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic. Trump ran on a bold p...

  Northern lights illuminate the sky in Fairbanks, Alaska United States on March 27, 2025. Eight northern U.S. states may be able to see the northern lights Sunday night, according to a forecast from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, though there are not expected to be any geomagnetic storms. Key Facts The forecast for the aurora borealis Sunday night has a Kp index of three on a scale of nine, meaning the aurora “can be quite pleasing to look at” if one is in the right location to view it. The northern lights are visible when there is geomagnetic activity that causes ions to collide with atmospheric gases from Earth that create visible displays. The three-day forecast for the aurora doesn't predict any geomagnetic storms, though, which would have increased the strength of the northern lights, and visibility is predicted to drop over the next couple days. Where Will The Northern Lights Be Visible Tonight? According to NOAA’s forecast, the lights may be visible fr...

  A former magistrate judge in Doña Ana County, New Mexico, and his wife are facing federal charges for allegedly tampering with evidence linked to the arrest of an undocumented migrant suspected of gang affiliation. Jose Luis Cano, also known as Joel Cano, has been charged with tampering with evidence, while his wife, Nancy Cano, faces a conspiracy to tamper with evidence charge, according to court records filed Friday. The case centers around Cristhian Ortega-Lopez, a Venezuelan national charged earlier this year with unlawful possession of a firearm or ammunition. Homeland Security Investigations began investigating Ortega-Lopez in January after receiving an anonymous tip that he was living at a property owned by Jose and Nancy Cano in Las Cruces and was allegedly carrying firearms. U.S. Attorney General Pamela Bondi commented Friday, saying authorities had received information that Ortega-Lopez was living with the judge. "This is the last person we want in our country, nor ...

  The aviation community is mourning the loss of Rob Holland, a 13-time U.S. National Aerobatic Champion, who was killed in a crash at Langley Air Force Base in Virginia on Thursday. According to investigators, Holland was "coming in to land on runway 8" when he lost control and crashed beside the runway. Dan Boggs, the lead investigator with the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), confirmed that Holland was performing a routine landing, not any aerobatic maneuvers, when the accident occurred. The cause of the loss of control remains under investigation. Holland had been arriving at the base to participate in the Air Power Over Hampton Roads airshow, scheduled for this weekend. "Over the last 24 hours, I’ve gained even more of a tremendous appreciation for the aviators and professionals that orchestrate these air shows," said Air Force Col. Matthew Altman, commander of Joint Base Langley-Eustis, during a press conference Friday. "Based on consultati...

  Kseniia Petrova, a Russian-born scientist and research associate at Harvard University, never imagined she would face immigration detention. Yet it has been 68 days since she was stopped at Boston’s Logan International Airport while traveling with undeclared frog embryo samples. Although Petrova, 30, was in the United States legally, she now finds herself trapped in the U.S. immigration detention system. Her case unfolds against a broader backdrop of intensified deportation efforts in recent years. After her detention at the airport, Petrova was transferred to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Monroe, Louisiana, where she continues to await a judge’s decision on whether she will be deported to Russia—a country she fled for fear of political persecution. The Department of Homeland Security accuses Petrova of knowingly breaking the law by failing to declare the biological samples. Friends, colleagues, and advocates, however, insist the incident was a minor...

Marco Rubio speaks before the arrival of then-presidential candidate Donald Trump at the Club 47  group in the Palm Beach Convention Center on June 14, 2024, in West Palm Beach, Florida.  Secretary of State Marco Rubio defended the actions of U.S. officials following a report that the U.S. deported three children from Louisiana who were U.S. citizens, saying the children were not deported but their mothers, who he said were here illegally, were deported and chose to take their children with them. KEY FACTS The Washington Post published an article Saturday alleging the children—one of whom has Stage 4 cancer and all of whom are U.S. citizens—were deported with their mothers last week, leading to “renewed concerns” about the Trump administration violating rights of due process. The lawyers for the two families involved told the Post the mothers and children were taken into custody during check-ins they were doing as part of the immigration process, and then were driven three hou...
