Donald Trump announces new 25% tariffs on cars from overseas

25% tariffDonald Trump announced plans to impose sweeping 25% tariffs on cars from overseas on Wednesday, days before the US president is expected to announce wide-ranging levies on other goods from around the world.

“What we’re going to be doing is a 25% tariff for all cars that are not made in the United States,” Trump said in the Oval Office. “We start off with a 2.5% base, which is what we’re at, and go to 25%.”

The announcement drew swift condemnation from the European Union and from the Canadian prime minister, Mark Carney, who called it a “direct attack” on Canadian workers. “We will defend our workers, we will defend our companies, we will defend our country, and we will defend it together,” Carney said.

Ice agents detain Tufts graduate student over pro-Palestinian activism

Tufts grad student detained

Rumeysa Ozturk, a doctoral student in Boston detained on Tuesday by federal immigration agents in response to her pro-Palestinian activism, was on Wednesday evening being detained at the South Louisiana Ice processing center, according to the government’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) detainee locator page.

The transfer of Ozturk, a PhD student at Tufts University, appeared to violate a federal court order from Tuesday, which directed the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Ice to give the court 48 hours’ notice before attempting to take her out of Massachusetts.

Atlantic publishes Trump Cabinet group chat messages

Atlantic publishes leakThe Atlantic has published the Signal group chat messages among national security leaders that were inadvertently shared with Editor-in-Chief Jeffrey Goldberg, noting administration officials said Tuesday they were not classified.

The published chats show the internal discussions Goldberg described in a Monday article, with figures including Vice President Vance discussing the merits of an airstrike on Houthi targets in Yemen.

The published chat offers details about the attack that the initial article did not contain, including the specific timeline of the airstrike and what weapons would be used.

Supreme Court seems likely to uphold $8 billion phone and internet subsidy program

SC likely to uphold fund

The Supreme Court on Wednesday seemed likely to uphold an $8 billion program that subsidizes high-speed internet and phone service for millions of Americans, which has been challenged as being funded by an unconstitutional tax.

The case raises questions about how much Congress can “delegate” its legislative authority to a federal agency and whether the Supreme Court should tighten that standard.

Under a law Congress passed in 1996, telecommunications companies are charged a Universal Service Fund fee – passed on to customers − that boosts phone and internet service to households and hospitals in rural areas, low-income families, and public schools and libraries.

Appeals court rules against Trump motion to halt deportations block

Appeals courtA federal appeals court panel ruled against the Trump administration, declining to block a trial judge’s decision that temporarily halted certain deportations under an 18th century wartime law.

Federal officials filed an emergency appellate motion after U.S. District Judge James Boasberg issued temporary restraining orders on March 15. President Donald Trump had invoked the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to summarily remove alleged Venezuelan gang members and fly them to El Salvador.

Supreme Court sides with Biden and upholds regulations of ghost guns to make them traceable

Ghost gunThe Supreme Court on Wednesday upheld the Biden administration’s regulation of untraceable “ghost guns,” ruling that the weapons can be subject to background checks and other requirements.

The 7-2 decision, which overturned an opinion by a conservative appeals court, was a victory for former President Joe Biden. But President Donald Trump could repeal the regulation, something gun rights advocates are counting on.

Writing for the majority, Justice Neil Gorsuch said the Gun Control Act allows the government to regulate some weapon parts kits and unfinished frames or receivers.

Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito dissented.

Why US art houses screen Oscar-winning Palestinian doc that mainstream theaters shun

No Other land

Just as Palestinian Basel Adra began narrating the opening scenes of “No Other Land” — the Oscar-winning documentary about Masafer Yatta, his embattled home in the West Bank — six late-coming moviegoers burst through the screening room doors, filling the 25-seat space in the Coolidge Corner Theatre nearly to capacity.

An audience of young and old, singletons and couples, had turned out on a drizzly St. Patrick’s Day evening to watch this film. Some visibly demonstrated their support for Palestine with accessories such as watermelon-slice pins or keffiyehs. The film tells the story of Masafer Yatta, a group of Palestinian villages located in a region that the Israel Defense Forces have declared a training zone.

The narrative centers around Basel, a lawyer by training and activist by necessity. Upset by IDF servicemembers who demolish Palestinian homes with the goal of forcing villagers off their land, he organizes peaceful protests that receive a violent response from the military.

Wes Streeting: Israel’s attacks on Gaza are ‘unjustifiable’ and ‘intolerable’

Wes  Streeting

Israel’s attacks on Gaza are “unjustifiable” and “intolerable”, Wes Streeting has said, as the health secretary expressed discomfort at images of bombs shattering the region that has been under threat by the Israelis “for many years”.

Streeting said he found Israel’s decision to break the Gaza ceasefire “soul-destroying”, and insisted the attacks do not “serve in Israel’s self-interest and cannot be justified as self-defence”, adding: “It has got to stop.”

On Monday, Israeli airstrikes killed at least 65 people in Gaza, including women, children and two journalists, nearly a week after it broke its ceasefire deal with Hamas.

Russia has ‘seized the upper hand’ in Ukraine war, intel community warns

Gabbard

U.S. intelligence agencies sounded the alarm on Ukraine’s dwindling battlefield prospects against Russia in an annual report released Tuesday.

The 2025 Annual Threat Assessment of the U.S. Intelligence Community — released by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence in conjunction with top officials’ testimony at a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing — warns that Moscow has “seized the upper hand” in the war over the past year and “is on a path to accrue greater leverage” to force favorable terms in its negotiations with Ukraine and the West.

Intelligence agencies see continued Russian military resilience despite heavy battlefield losses — replenishing personnel and ratcheting up its industrial capacity.

“Even though Russian President [Vladimir] Putin will be unable to achieve the total victory he envisioned when initiating the large-scale invasion in February 2022, Russia retains momentum as a grinding war of attrition plays to Russia’s military advantages,” the report states. “This grinding war of attrition will lead to a gradual but steady erosion of Kyiv’s position on the battlefield, regardless of any U.S. or allied attempts to impose new and greater costs on Moscow.”
