    Today’s Headlines: Australia re-elects center-left Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, rejecting right-wing challenger Peter Dutton in a move echoing Canada’s anti-Trump voter shift. In the U.S., the April jobs report beats expectations with 177,000 jobs added—though gains were dampened by federal layoffs. A federal judge strikes down Trump’s retaliatory executive order against Perkins Coie, a law firm tied to Democrats, while Microsoft ditches a pro-Trump firm and hires one ready to challenge the administration in court. Meanwhile, Trump allies sue Chief Justice John Roberts in an attempt to give the president authority over the judiciary. Also, the Trump administration backs down in its feud with Maine, restoring $3 million in school funding after a clash over trans athlete policies. A new executive order strips NPR and PBS of federal funding, raising alarm over attacks on public media. The DOJ ends a decades-old desegregation order in Louisiana, claiming it’s no longer needed—despite over 130 still in effect. Plans are underway for a massive military parade on Trump’s birthday, and jury selection begins in the federal sex trafficking trial of Sean "Diddy" Combs.

    May 2 2025
    Today’s Headlines: Trump just made his first big personnel move of term two—National Security Adviser Michael Waltz is headed to the UN, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio is now juggling three top jobs, including acting national security adviser. On immigration, a Trump-appointed judge just blocked mass deportations of Venezuelan migrants, saying the president can’t claim an “invasion” without evidence. The White House disagrees and is pushing the Supreme Court to strip protections from 350,000 Venezuelans. Meanwhile, Florida carried out its largest immigration raid ever—over 1,100 people arrested in a joint state-federal operation. Elsewhere in the federal government: the Education Department has canceled over $1 billion in school mental health grants, citing a civil rights technicality; RFK Jr.’s health department wants new placebo testing rules for all future vaccines; and Trump’s latest trade war salvo threatens sanctions on buyers of Iranian oil—a not-so-subtle warning to China. Also: General Motors expects tariffs to wipe out a third of its profits this year, while Apple says it’s shifting production to India and Vietnam to avoid a projected $900 billion tariff bill.

    Thursday, May 1st, 2025 - Recession looms; Tariffs cancel Christmas; Measles’ comeback; Trump blames Biden (Again); Mahdawi released
    May 1 2025
    Today’s Headlines: The U.S. economy shrank by 0.3% in Q1 of 2025, marking its first contraction since 2022 and falling well below forecasts of modest growth. Payroll growth also disappointed, with only 62,000 jobs added—half of what was expected. JP Morgan analysts now consider a mild recession their “base case.” Meanwhile, Trump blamed Biden for the downturn, despite previously taking credit for economic wins. New tariffs are compounding the strain: imports from China are down sharply, shipping volume at the Port of L.A. is projected to drop by 35%, and over 60% of U.S. toymakers have canceled holiday orders, threatening a Christmas goods shortage. During a Cabinet meeting, Trump dismissed the concerns, saying kids might have to settle for fewer, pricier toys. He also finalized a rare earth minerals deal with Ukraine in exchange for military support. Elsewhere, a judge ordered the release of a Columbia student unlawfully detained by ICE after a citizenship interview, and measles outbreaks are spreading in at least 10 states, with Texas cases topping 660.
