He believes that these tariffs are necessary to address trade abuses and intellectual property theft, while also hoping they will encourage negotiations.

Breitbart: Nolte: MSNBC Chief Might Flee as Ratings Crash to Record Lows
MSNBC President Rashida Jones is reportedly considering leaving the network as ratings plummet following Donald Trump's election victory. Sources suggest her departure could occur after Trump's inauguration in January 2025. Despite leading MSNBC to some historic ratings wins, the network's viewership has dropped significantly.
Critics argue that Jones's strategy of focusing on Trump's downfall alienated a substantial portion of the audience, leading to a 52% decline in primetime viewership. The shift in news consumption habits and the exhaustion with cable news may signal a broader decline in traditional media's influence.
The American Mind: Five Tactics to End Corporate Wokeness
Corporate activism has infiltrated major companies, shifting focus from fiduciary duties to politicized agendas through ESG and DEI initiatives. Conservatives are urged to counteract this trend by dismantling the influence of organizations like the Human Rights Campaign and exposing discriminatory practices in corporate policies.
The call to action includes combatting anti-energy biases in sustainability efforts, addressing biases against religious and conservative employees, and taking control of proxy voting to ensure conservative values are represented. The next four years present an opportunity to depoliticize corporate America and refocus on business success.

He has received backing from several Republican senators, including women, who remain unfazed by the negative reports.
Fox News: Supreme Court weighs transgender youth treatments in landmark case
The Supreme Court heard arguments on whether states can prohibit minors from receiving gender transition medical care, focusing on Tennessee's law banning such treatments. The case, United States v. Skrmetti, questions if the law violates the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment.
Debate centered on the level of scrutiny courts should apply to these laws, with petitioners arguing for heightened scrutiny due to sex discrimination, while Tennessee maintained that the law is based on medical purposes. A ruling is expected before July 2025.

The Wake County Board of Elections dismissed three election protests filed by Republican candidate Judge Jefferson Griffin, who raised concerns about deceased, felon, and non-resident voters. Only one protest regarding a felon voter was upheld.
Griffin's protests challenge over 60,000 ballots statewide, citing incomplete voter registrations and issues with overseas voters. A second recount will be conducted across all 100 counties following Griffin's request.
Breitbart: Report: Biden Admin Moves to Complicate Trump's Purge of 'Deep State'
The Biden administration is reportedly implementing labor agreements across federal agencies to complicate President-elect Trump's plans for civil service reform. Notable actions include hybrid work protections for Social Security Administration staff and contracts at the EPA aimed at safeguarding employee discussions with the media.
Critics, including Senator-elect Bernie Moreno and investor Bill Ackman, argue these agreements are designed to entrench the administrative state and hinder Trump's ability to reshape the federal workforce. They contend that these moves reflect a broader concern among bureaucrats about potential job replacements under a Trump administration.

Forbes: Supreme Court Suggests It Will Uphold Transgender Healthcare Ban—What To Know
The Supreme Court is considering Tennessee's ban on gender-affirming care for minors, with conservative justices appearing sympathetic to the state's argument that the law is constitutional and aimed at protecting minors from uncertain medical risks. The case follows a divided lower court ruling, with potential implications for similar laws in over 25 states.
Opponents argue the ban violates the Equal Protection Clause and could harm transgender youth, while supporters claim the state is making age-based distinctions in medical treatment. The justices are expected to issue a ruling by June, which could influence future legislation and court cases regarding transgender rights.

China has announced a ban on exports of strategic metals, including gallium and germanium, to the U.S., escalating the tech war between the two nations. This move follows new U.S. restrictions and aims to counteract what China perceives as the politicization of trade by Washington.
In response, Chinese industry associations are advising caution in purchasing U.S. chips, suggesting alternatives from domestic and third-party sources. This comes amid U.S. efforts to limit China's access to advanced technologies for military modernization.
