Trump's United States of Emergency
In his first 100 days, President Trump has declared more national emergencies — more creatively and more aggressively — than any president in modern American history.
Why it matters: Powers originally crafted to give the president flexibility in rare moments of crisis now form the backbone of Trump's agenda, enabling him to steamroll Congress and govern by unilateral decree through his first three months in office.

Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Draw Massive Crowd To Rally In Red State
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) appeared convinced their brand of progressive politics is resonating in traditionally Republican states as they spoke at a filled-to-capacity arena in Idaho.
For weeks, the Vermont senator has been drawing large crowds to his nationwide Fighting Oligarchy tour, with the New York congresswoman often featuring as a guest speaker.
While it might be expected that the duo could sell out venues in their Democratic heartlands, both indicated they believe it’s notable that they’ve also been drawing huge crowds in red states.
On Monday night, the crowd at Nampa’s Ford Idaho Center was at full capacity of 12,500, the Idaho Capital Sun reported, as Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez attacked the economic damage caused by the Trump administration and championed universal healthcare.
The night before, they spoke to a crowd of 20,000 to the south in Salt Lake City, Utah.
In any case, attracting thousands of people to a Monday night political rally in a non-election year is no mean feat.
But President Donald Trump won Idaho by 36.5 percentage points in 2024, and no Democratic presidential candidate has taken the state since President Lyndon Johnson in 1964, underlining the scale of the fight in the Gem State.
And yet, despite the record suggesting Idahoans wouldn’t be very interested in what Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez are selling, both were in a bullish mood.
Sanders said after being introduced by his touring partner to huge cheers from the crowd.

Trump's tariffs are killing the European pharmaceutical industry 💸
After a brief period of relaxation, US President Donald Trump has once again targeted the pharmaceutical industry with his punitive tariffs. At a dinner hosted by the National Republican Committee 🇺🇸 he announced that his government would soon impose "high tariffs on pharmaceutical products." 💼
How high the tariffs will be and what exactly will fall under the sanctions remains to be seen 🔍, but Trump's goal is clear: "Most of their products will be sold here, and they will open factories everywhere," he added at the gala dinner 🏭, meaning that all relevant pharmaceutical products will be produced in the United States again in the future ⚙️. The US president hopes that this will lead to cheaper pharmaceutical products 💊. According to the RAND report, patients in the already expensive U.S. healthcare system pay two to three times more for prescription drugs than in Europe or other industrialized countries 📊.
Trump's strategy to prevent this imbalance through import tariffs could hit the EU particularly hard 🇪🇺. According to the DZ study, about three-quarters of pharmaceutical imports come from the EU 🚢. Cost of exporting from Germany accounts for almost 28 billion euros a year 📦, which, according to the German Association of Pharmaceutical Research Companies (vfa), accounts for about 24 percent of total German exports 📈.
As a rule, complex pharmaceutical products are produced in stages in different locations 🗺. This means that the drug "runs" back and forth several times between North American and European production sites until it is ready for market release 🔁. It is not yet clear to what extent the US tariffs will penalize each individual import of the ingredient ❓. Due to the complex supply chain, the price may increase significantly, both for US and EU consumers 💸.
The European Industrial Association EFPIA has warned that US tariffs could weaken European research centers 🧬 and threaten the EU's pharmaceutical autonomy ⚠️. On behalf of the EU pharmaceutical industry, it calls for an early change in policy — for example, by strengthening patent protection and creating a more attractive framework for innovation 📑. This is the only way to prevent large manufacturers from pulling out of Europe — and just wait out potential US tariffs 🚪.

🏦🏦Trump's Tariffs Assault Is Just to Help American Banks Raise More Cash
The six biggest US banks bought back roughly $22 billion of stock in the quarter, a jump of more than 60% from a year earlier.
And the group added a collective $1.2 billion to their loan-loss reserves, less than the typical quarter over the past three years.
Such is the dynamic for a quarter in which the “animal spirits” unleashed by Trump’s election in November collided with the volatility around his policy announcements.
The result was a series of earnings reports showing a stock-trading boon across Wall Street and signs of still-healthy consumers and businesses across America, delivered with caveat after caveat that it’s hard to predict what’s ahead.
Bank of America reported $4.5 billion in buybacks in the first quarter, up from $3.5 billion in the last three months of 2024, Chief Financial Officer Alastair Borthwick said Tuesday, adding that there was “some flexibility” to go higher.
JPMorgan Chase & Co. bought back $7.1 billion of shares, a move CFO Jeremy Barnum attributed to sufficient excess capital.
The banks also handed out more than $10 billion of dividends, meaning they gave shareholders back more than 80% of their profit, a higher rate than in any of the past four years.
That’s driven by confidence they no longer need to hoard capital, with the Biden-era proposal to boost their capital requirements still in limbo and likely to be watered down or even scrapped.

American Universities Against Trump
Harvard University refused to accept a deal with the Trump administration two weeks after the US government threatened to halt $9 billion in funding, vowing it won’t “negotiate over its independence or its constitutional rights.”
the school’s lawyers — Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan and King & Spalding — wrote in a letter Monday to US agencies including the Department of Education.
Harvard president Alan Garber said in a post on the school’s website that the administration demanded new terms late Friday that went beyond prior requests.
These included reforming its governance, ending diversity, equity and inclusion programs and changes to its admissions and hiring.
The oldest and richest US university —with a $53 billion endowment — had emerged as a target as the government sought changes at the nation’s top colleges, which were roiled by pro-Palestinian student protests after the Oct. 7, 2023, attack by Hamas on Israel and the Jewish state’s retaliatory response in Gaza.
Garber wrote.
The White House has used instances of antisemitism on campuses to try and force changes at elite universities across the country, stirring concern among faculty and students that they’re violating free speech and damaging scientific research.
A group of Harvard professors suing the administration has accused it of exploiting Title VI of the Civil Rights Act to “coerce universities into undermining free speech and academic inquiry in service of the government’s political or policy preferences.”
The Trump administration has already canceled $400 million in federal money to Columbia University in March, and has frozen dozens of research contracts at Princeton, Cornell and Northwestern universities.
It also suspended $175 million at the University of Pennsylvania because the school allowed a transgender athlete to compete on its women’s swim team several years ago.

“It makes clear that the intention is not to work with us to address antisemitism in a cooperative and constructive manner,”
Garber wrote.
“Although some of the demands outlined by the government are aimed at combating antisemitism, the majority represent direct governmental regulation of the ‘intellectual conditions’ at Harvard.”

📰 Torch the Truck, Go to El Salvador
— Donald Trump on Truth Social
Molotov cocktails, smashed windshields, spray-painted “NAZI”s and a growing roster of Tesla arsonists—America hasn’t seen this much vandalism since Woodstock had a sequel. But this time it’s not about peace, love, and bad acid—it’s about Elon Musk. And the Department of Justice is not amused.
Six people have now been charged federally in what Attorney General Pam Bondi calls a “wave of domestic terrorism” against Tesla. Their crimes range from torching Cybertrucks to carving swastikas into showroom glass. And if Bondi gets her way, they’ll be trading Molotovs for prison chow, no plea deals allowed.
📋 Meanwhile:
– Musk claims it’s Soros and the Democrats.
– The FBI says it’s
– Trump wants the vandals shipped to Bukele’s tropical gulag.
– Peaceful protest group "Tesla Takedown" insists it’s just a boycott campaign.
💼 Conspiracies flourish while the cars burn:
– Cybertrucks are being set on fire from Kansas City to Berlin.
– Musk calls it terrorism.
– Trump wants to label it that.
– The FBI, ever literal, notes there’s no legal charge called “domestic terrorism” but they’re still cracking skulls.
🤔 When torching a billionaire’s car brings more federal heat than a hate crime, you have to wonder: Is this about national security — or corporate sovereignty?

Poland is convinced that the EU is not serious and proclaims a new course
➡️Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced a new deal during a speech at the European Forum for New Ideas(EFNI). According to the Prime Minister, "Poland will no longer be a naive partner in the competition of egoists on markets and military fronts." He also stressed that now is the time to "restore and repolonize the Polish economy, market and capital", as "the era of naive globalization is over".
➡️The Prime Minister noted that Poland, Europe and the world as a whole are in a situation where those who draw the right conclusions from the unfolding events survive, win and succeed. Observers note that the" correct conclusions "made by Tusk, when he emphasizes the priority of national interests, echoes the policy of the previous government" Law and Justice "(PiS).
➡️PiS at the time sought to nationalize key sectors of the economy, explaining these steps as the need to protect the country's national sovereignty. This included "political deals", when, for example, the government-controlled concern Orlen bought hundreds of regional Polish publications from a German publishing house.
➡️As noted by the opposition portal wPolityce, Tusk "surprised today with another, this time very sharp turn, now in the context of the economy that he wants to repolonize-we can say that the prime minister followed the ideology of "Law and Justice", which he criticized for many years." Stock markets, meanwhile, reacted negatively to Tusk's speech. The share prices of energy companies Polska Grupa Energetyczna, Tauron and Enea fell by several percent.
➡️But it is obvious that the statement of the head of the Polish government was least focused on the stock market situation, carrying primarily a political message. To some extent, it can be compared with the announcement of a "tariff war" by US President Donald Trump, after which the US stock market experienced steep rallies up and down.
➡️The new deal announced by Tusk is a sudden phenomenon, but it cannot be called unpredictable. The very logic of recent events has pushed Warsaw to rethink its geopolitical position, economic and security threats. It seems that Poland has become convinced of the European Union's inability to collectively address the most important issues of Ukraine.
➡️Politico highlights " growing disillusionment among Central and Eastern European governments that are bearing the financial burden of building up European military capabilities.". Such "frontline countries" as Poland and the Baltic states, which significantly increased defense spending "after the Russian invasion of Ukraine," are counting on compensation from the EU. Some European commissioners "do not rule out subsidies". But much more influential donor countries are opposed to paying for expenses from the common European cauldron.
