This is a cover-up.

“A U.S. judge permanently barred the Justice Department on Monday from releasing a prosecutor's report on the criminal case accusing President Donald Trump of unlawfully retaining classified documents following his first term in office.

Florida-based U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon found that releasing the report would be a "manifest injustice" to the Republican president and two former associates who were charged alongside him because it would detail substantial allegations of criminal wrongdoing in a case that never reached a jury.

Cannon, who Trump appointed to the bench in 2020, dismissed all the charges in 2024.”

“Trump imposes new tariffs, denounces Supreme Court justices as a ‘disgrace’ after ruling.”

The #lawless president, just issued an EO that imposes new global #tariffs of 10%… More lawsuits will ensue. He says some of the tariffs may ultimately be even higher than before.

Let me just copy-pasta this over here:

"“We’re not going to get the same quality or breadth of information we would have by being in the #WHO, or have anywhere the influence we had.”"

But the $2B to be spent by the US now will all be funneled through #Trump #Cronies and #Bedfellows

As intended

“ #Spending 2 to 3 times the #cost to create what we already had access to makes absolutely no sense in terms of fiscal stewardship,” said Tom Inglesby, director Center for Health Security at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of #PublicHealth, who served as a snr covid19 adviser during the Biden admin. “We’re not going to get the same quality or breadth of information we would have by being in the #WHO, or have anywhere the influence we had.”

While #Trump accused the #WHO of demanding “unfairly onerous payments,” the alternative his administration is considering carries a price tag about three times what the #US contributed annually to the #UN #health agency. The US would build on bilateral agreements with countries & expand the presence of its health agencies to dozens of additional nations [starting from scratch], the officials said.

The effort to build a #US run alternative would re-create systems such as laboratories, data-sharing networks & rapid-response systems the US abandoned when it announced its withdrawal from the #WHO last year & dismantled the US Agency for International Development [#USAID], according to the officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to share internal deliberations.

There’s major uncertainty for the #US & #global #economies about what comes next, in part because #SCOTUS has yet to rule on whether the majority of the #Trump #tariffs are #legal. But the data offered the latest snapshot of a historic overhaul of the #economy & old global order.

Trump’s return to the White House brought sprawling tariffs, a giant #tax & #spending bill & #threats to #CentralBank #independence.​

Fresh data released by the #Commerce Department Thursday morning showed the full-year total #deficit combining goods & services was $901.5 billion, down a smidgen from 2024 but still one of the largest levels in decades. Exports of goods & services rose 6.2% to a record $3.4 trillion. Imports rose nearly 5% to a record $4.3 trillion.
