Fox News: Dems claim Trump tariff could 'drive up' costs despite deflecting blame from Biden's inflation
Democratic lawmakers are criticizing President Trump's new tariffs on imports from Mexico, Canada, and China, claiming they will increase costs for American consumers. The tariffs, set at 25% for Canada and Mexico and 10% for China, are part of Trump's strategy to combat drug trafficking.
While Democrats express concern over rising prices, they previously supported various tax hikes under the Biden administration. Trump defends the tariffs, asserting that Canada has been "abusive" in trade practices.
Fox News: GOP hardliners rally around Trump, Musk scaling back USAID
House conservatives are advocating for significant cuts to the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), criticizing it as a corrupt entity that misuses taxpayer funds. They argue that reducing or eliminating USAID could help alleviate the national debt and encourage self-reliance in aid-dependent countries.
Supporters of the initiative, including Rep. Andy Biggs and Rep. Eric Burlison, emphasize the need for reform, suggesting that USAID should be integrated into the Department of State. Critics, particularly Democrats, argue that the proposed changes could undermine U.S. national security and humanitarian efforts, labeling the involvement of figures like Elon Musk as authoritarian.

Patrick Soon-Shiong, owner of the Los Angeles Times, faced backlash after Eric Reinhart accused the paper of editing his op-ed on Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to misrepresent his views.

The LA Times defended its editing process, stating that all changes are made with author consent. Reinhart labeled the incident a "scandal" reflecting broader issues in U.S. media. Soon-Shiong expressed support for RFK Jr., hoping for his confirmation as HHS nominee.

The court emphasized the balance between free speech and protections for religious groups, stating that while offense may occur, Najem's actions exceeded acceptable criticism. Najem plans to appeal, arguing his statements fall under freedom of expression.

Fox News: Medical examiner reverses suicide ruling for teacher found dead with 20 stab wounds
The original medical examiner has reversed the suicide ruling in the case of Ellen Greenberg, a Philadelphia teacher found dead in 2011 with multiple stab wounds. Her parents are pursuing legal action against the city, alleging a cover-up of her death as a suicide.
The trial follows years of legal battles, with the Greenbergs claiming that the investigation was mishandled and that evidence suggests homicide rather than suicide. The case remains contentious, as the death certificate still lists the cause as suicide.
