Breitbart: 'Coercive Threat': Judge Blocks Part of Trump's DEI Executive Order
A federal judge has blocked part of President Trump's executive orders aimed at terminating government contracts with diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs, labeling the directive a "coercive threat." The ruling came in response to a lawsuit from Chicago Women in Trades, which relies heavily on federal funding.
The judge's decision allows DEI programs to continue while a longer-term injunction hearing is scheduled. This ruling is part of a broader trend, as other judges have also ruled against Trump's policies on various issues, including cuts to USAID and military service for transgender individuals.
The Western Journal: NPR CEO Has Shocking Link to Firm Behind Signal Messenger App
NPR CEO Katherine Maher faced scrutiny over her liberal views during congressional testimony, but her role as chair of the Signal Foundation, linked to the "Signalgate" controversy, went largely unmentioned. Critics noted the lack of inquiry into her connection to the messaging app amid significant political discourse.
The intertwining of Maher's leadership at NPR and her position with Signal raises questions about transparency and bias in taxpayer-funded media. Her political stance has already drawn criticism from conservatives, further complicating the narrative surrounding her involvement in the ongoing controversy.

GB News: British drivers issued urgent warning of £4,000 fine ahead of new car tax changes launching next week
UK drivers face significant financial penalties for neglecting MOT and vehicle tax obligations, with over 11,000 searches monthly on taxing cars without valid MOTs. Delays in MOT testing can lead to automatic penalties from the DVLA, escalating to nearly £4,000 in fines and fees.
Experts warn that unpaid penalties can damage credit ratings and lead to further legal issues. Motorists are advised to check their tax status before upcoming changes in April, as advanced AI-driven systems will enhance detection of non-compliant vehicles.

Le Monde: Tension over water on the US-Mexico border
The U.S. has halted water deliveries from the Colorado River to Tijuana for the first time in over 50 years, citing Mexico's failure to meet water quotas for the Rio Bravo. This decision aims to support Texas farmers facing irrigation challenges due to drought.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum asserts her government will fulfill its commitments but acknowledges water shortages. Water management is increasingly crucial in U.S.-Mexico relations, especially given the arid conditions affecting both nations.

Breitbart: Breitbart Business Digest: Consumer Confidence Is Narrative, Spending Is Data
Consumer sentiment is at its lowest in four years, despite 41% of Americans believing the country is on the right track, the highest since 2004. This disconnect reflects ongoing concerns over economic conditions, particularly among Democrats, who anticipate a downturn.
In contrast, consumer spending and income are rising, with personal consumption expenditures increasing by 0.4% and personal income by 0.8%. This suggests a divergence between actual economic activity and consumer sentiment, indicating that hard data may provide a more reliable picture of the economy than survey results.
Breitbart: Trump in Talks About Tax Deductions on U.S.-Made Car Loans
President Trump has proposed making interest payments on loans for American-made cars tax deductible, aiming to benefit middle-income earners. He discussed this initiative with House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune, emphasizing that it would not apply to foreign-made vehicles.
Additionally, Trump is advocating for permanent income tax cuts and relief measures for Americans affected by inflation, including eliminating taxes on tips, overtime, and Social Security benefits. This proposal coincides with his announcement of a 25 percent tariff on imported cars, effective April 2.
