Breitbart: EU Enacts Mild Tariff Response While Looking for Deal with Trump
The European Union has introduced its own tariffs on American goods, totaling €22 billion, while criticizing U.S. tariffs as "unjustified and damaging." The measures, which are significantly lower than those imposed by the U.S., reflect a desire for a negotiated deal rather than an escalation into a trade war.
Despite tough rhetoric, the EU's actions suggest a preference for diplomacy, as some tariffs will not take effect for months, allowing time for negotiations. The EU maintains that its tariffs are justifiable, contrasting them with U.S. measures, which it claims harm the global economy.
Front Page Magazine: Biden’s ‘Disinformation’ Czar Claims That Worries About Leftist Censorship Are a ‘Lie’
Nina Jankowicz, previously involved with the controversial Disinformation Governance Board, has resurfaced to defend her stance against accusations of censorship. In her recent article, she dismisses concerns about leftist censorship as a "right-wing fever dream" and claims that Republican narratives about suppression are unfounded.
Jankowicz argues that reputable journalists and academics have debunked the idea of a coordinated effort to silence conservatives, attributing social media rule violations to right-wing users. She characterizes Republican investigations into censorship as modern-day McCarthyism and asserts that her board's mission was to protect civil liberties, not to censor dissenting opinions.

This decision follows a D.C. appeals court ruling that had restored their positions, citing Supreme Court precedent on the removal of officials from multi-member boards.
The ongoing legal battle highlights the tensions between the Trump administration and the judiciary regarding executive power. The administration has sought to overturn established precedents that limit presidential authority to dismiss independent agency heads.

Protests from radical groups disrupted her speech, leading to its cancellation, while the university shifted blame onto Krolczyk and her supporters.

Times Of Israel: US to check visa-seekers’ social media for ‘antisemitic’ posts, administration says
US immigration authorities will now review social media accounts to deny visas or residence permits to individuals showing "antisemitic activity," including support for terror groups. This policy follows protests related to the Gaza conflict, with Homeland Security emphasizing that antisemitic violence will not be tolerated.
The Trump administration is also cutting federal funding to universities for inadequate responses to antisemitism during these protests. Notably, some individuals have been stripped of their visas, claiming they were wrongfully targeted for their presence at protests rather than their statements.

Times Of Israel: Macron says France could recognize a Palestinian state in June
France plans to recognize a Palestinian state within months, potentially at a UN conference in June, according to President Emmanuel Macron. He emphasized the need for mutual recognition between Israel and Palestine to enhance regional security, a view contested by Israeli officials who argue it rewards terrorism.
The recognition marks a significant policy shift for France, which has historically supported a two-state solution. It could provoke tensions with Israel, which views such unilateral recognition as premature and detrimental to peace efforts. Other nations have also moved toward recognizing Palestinian statehood, further complicating the situation.

Breitbart: Report: Remittances from U.S. Propping up Nicaragua's Economic Growth
Nicaragua's Central Bank highlighted the critical role of remittances in the country's economic growth, with remittances accounting for over 27% of its GDP. The influx has surged from $1.014 billion in 2012 to a projected $5.243 billion in 2024, largely from the U.S.
Experts warn that Nicaragua's economy heavily relies on these funds, with some stating a recession would ensue without them. The termination of the U.S. "Humanitarian Parole" program may further impact future remittance levels, as it allowed many Nicaraguans to migrate legally.

On The Water: Revised rule changes the way anglers must measure striped bass.
The Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries has standardized the measurement of striped bass, requiring anglers to squeeze the tail lobes together for accurate length. This change addresses discrepancies in measuring methods that could affect compliance with slot limits.
The new rule aims to ensure fairness and consistent enforcement among recreational fishermen, as previous measurement methods could lead to significant variations in a fish's recorded length. DMF is also advocating for this method to be adopted by the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission for uniformity across states.
