Spill the News |  ‘Liberation Day’ Tariffs and RetaliationPresident Donald Trump introduced sweeping tariffs on major U.S. trading partners Wednesday, vowing to undertake the most significant restructuring of the global economy since World War II. Watch here.
Trump enacted new import taxes through an executive order, setting a baseline tariff of 10% on all goods entering the U.S., effective April 5. While importers will pay the tax, the costs may ultimately affect the consumers, potentially disrupting global markets. See full list.
White House officials also announced plans to introduce targeted “reciprocal tariffs” on approximately 60 nations deemed "worst offenders", which will take effect on April 9. What is the reciprocal tariff calculation formula?
From China to Australia, the tariffs have had a significant impact. Responding in their own way, while some nations like Australia called the decision poor, others like the European Union have vowed to counter the tariffs. A timeline of Trump’s tariffs.
However, there was one big exception — Russia.
It is critical to note that struggling and vulnerable countries such as Myanmar and Vietnam face the steepest tariffs, which have long-term impact on companies like Nike and American Eagle.
An analysis by The Hill reveals that these tariffs can cost $3,000 to U.S. households. | | |  Why Are Women Less Safe in Cars? Congress is Hitting Brakes on That Congress is working to address a critical flaw in vehicle safety testing, which is that cars are primarily tested using crash dummies modeled after the average male, putting women at higher risk in accidents.
Studies show that women are more likely to suffer severe injuries in crashes, in part because current safety tests do not account for differences in body size, muscle structure, and seating posture.
Lawmakers are pushing for updated federal standards that require automakers to use female crash test dummies and improve data collection on how crashes affect different body types. Advocates argue that the current system is outdated and fails to protect all drivers equally.
The push for reform comes as researchers highlight the need for better testing models and safety regulations that reflect real-world crash conditions. If passed, these changes could lead to significant improvements in vehicle safety and reduce the disproportionate risks women face on the road. | | |  Is it Over for Elon Musk at White House?Elon Musk recently hinted that he may soon step back from his work, while President Donald Trump suggested Musk would eventually return to running his companies. Trump also stated that the Department of Government Efficiency “will end”.
This comes as Musk faced a setback in Wisconsin, where his preferred state Supreme Court candidate lost despite his $21 million donations.
Meanwhile, Tesla reported a 13% drop in sales for the first quarter of the year, which is the biggest decline in history, adding to Musk’s growing challenges.
However, the White House has not provided any specific timeline for shutting down DOGE, the cost-cutting initiative was never meant to be a permanent fixture but its closure may come sooner than expected, which was until July 4, 2026.
A national poll by Marquette University Law School, released on Wednesday, shows that a majority of adults disapprove of Elon Musk and his role at DOGE as he moves forward with plans to dramatically reshape the federal government.
While Musk might be a scapegoat and liability for Trump, he could still be useful. | | | A Quick Recap | | | Her Hustle 🔥 Revenge quitting is the hot new exit strategy.
