Trump tariffs spark trade war, China and EU retaliate
from al Mayadeen English
US President Donald Trump has fanned the flames of the global trade war by imposing a base 10% tariff on all US imports and reciprocal tariffs on Wednesday, which he dubbed "Liberation Day".
The White House unveiled sweeping new tariffs, sparking immediate upheaval in global markets as leaders around the world denounced the measures and vowed to retaliate against the levies.
The base 10% tariff goes into effect on April 5, and the higher reciprocal levies on April 9.
Facing newly imposed 54% tariffs on exports to the US, China pledged to retaliate with countermeasures, while the European Union also threatened to respond, as both allies and rivals of Washington united in condemning the move, fearing it could deliver a crippling shock to global trade.
"The consequences will be dire for millions of people around the globe," EU Chief Ursula von der Leyen said in a statement, adding that the European Union is planning on retaliating to the levies imposed by Trump should talks with the US falter. The European Union was hit with a 20% reciprocal tariff...

Deadliest day in fortnight: Israel kills almost 80 Gazans in attacks on UN clinic, refugee sites
from PressTV
New round of Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip have killed at least 77 people, marking the deadliest day for Palestinians since the regime resumed its genocidal war on the besieged territory two weeks ago.
A medical facility in the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza was among the targets of the Israeli aerial assaults on Wednesday.
At least 22 people, including children and members of the Gaza police force, were killed in the attack on the clinic run by the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA).
The government media office in Gaza condemned the "barbaric attack" that took place amid the Israeli genocide against civilians and displaced people in Gaza...

Israel plans to seize 'large areas' of Gaza in major escalation
from Daily Sabah
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz declared Wednesday a significant escalation of military operations in Gaza, outlining plans for the army to capture "large areas" of the Palestinian territory.
Katz said Israel would bolster its presence in the Gaza Strip to destroy and clear the area of Palestinian resistance groups and their infrastructure.
The operation would "seize large areas that will be incorporated into Israeli security zones," he said in a statement, without specifying how much territory.
A group representing families of hostages held in Gaza said they were "horrified" by Katz's announcement, fearing the goal of freeing the captives had been "pushed to the bottom of the priority list."
"Has it been decided to sacrifice the hostages for the sake of 'territorial gains?'" said the Hostages and Missing Families Forum in a statement.
"Instead of freeing the hostages through a deal and putting an end to the war, the Israeli government is sending more soldiers to Gaza, to fight in the same areas where they have fought again and again."...

Israel killed 15 Palestinian paramedics and rescue workers one by one, says UN
from The Guardian
Fifteen Palestinian paramedics and rescue workers, including at least one United Nations employee, were killed by Israeli forces “one by one” and buried in a mass grave eight days ago in southern Gaza, the UN has said.
According to the UN humanitarian affairs office (Ocha), the Palestinian Red Crescent (PRCS) and civil defence workers were on a mission to rescue colleagues who had been shot at earlier in the day, when their clearly marked vehicles came under heavy Israeli fire in Rafah city’s Tel al-Sultan district. A Red Crescent official in Gaza said that there was evidence of at least one person being detained and killed, as the body of one of the dead had been found with his hands tied.
The shootings happened on 23 March, one day into the renewed Israeli offensive in the area close to the Egyptian border. Another Red Crescent worker on the mission is reported missing.
“Seven days ago, civil defence and PRCS ambulances arrived at the scene,” the head of Ocha in Palestine, Jonathan Whittall, said in a video statement. “One by one, [the paramedics and civil defense workers] were hit, they were struck. Their bodies were gathered and buried in this mass grave.
“We’re digging them out in their uniforms, with their gloves on. They were here to save lives. Instead, they ended up in a mass grave,” Whittall said. “These ambulances have been buried in the sand. There’s a UN vehicle here, buried in the sand. A bulldozer – Israeli forces bulldozer – has buried them.”...

Trump's new faith office. What to know about controversial Florida pastor Paula White
(This crazy shit is what Donald Trump is creating with this charlatan and huckster while destroying SSA and CFPB and research programs looking to help cure childhood cancer.)
from The Palm Beach Post
President Donald Trump signed an executive order to form a task force under Attorney General Pam Bondi and the Department of Justice to "eradicate anti-Christian bias" inside the federal government and prosecute violence against Christians, although he did not provide any examples.
And Trump also issued an executive order forming a White House faith office and appointed controversial Florida pastor Paula White-Cain to lead it. White-Cain, a pastor at StoryLife Church and president of Paula White Ministries, both based in Apopka, has been a longtime friend and personal minister to Trump...
From 2007 through 2011, the Senate Finance Committee investigated six megachurch televangelists, including White-Cain's ministry Without Walls International Church, that had been accused of misusing charitable, tax-exempt funds.
According to the final report, Without Walls paid salaries for extended family members, owned and operated a private jet and frequently chartered flights including trips to the Cayman Islands and a boxing match in Las Vegas, and paid for down payments on an 8,072 square-foot mansion in Tampa and a $3.5 million condo in Trump Tower in New York City...

and this is Exodus 23
(Uh there is nothing in there about giving her a $1,000 or smiting your enemies or curing your cancer or giving you your own angel hitman... but it does say you should bring some fruits of your labor to a neighborhood cookout three times a year and not to cook a lamb in it's mother's milk.)
Widespread firings start at federal health agencies including many in leadership
from NPR
The Trump administration began sending notices of termination to thousands of staffers at federal health agencies Tuesday, according to interviews with employees and officials at multiple agencies and e-mails reviewed by NPR.
The Department of Health and Human Services last week announced it planned to dismiss 10,000 people. These cuts come on top of around 10,000 people already leaving the agencies under the Trump administration's Fork in the Road offer and early retirement.
Termination emails went out Tuesday morning to employees and leadership of agencies within HHS, the Food and Drug Administration, the National Institutes of Health, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as well as several smaller agencies.
Many of those workers only found out they had been fired when they tried to badge into the building after waiting in line and couldn't get in, NPR learned from multiple sources at HHS who didn't want to share their names for fear of repercussions...

Cory Booker Condemns Trump’s Policies in Longest Senate Speech on Record
from the New York Times
The New Jersey senator spent much of his speech, which ended after more than 25 hours, assailing the Trump administration. He eclipsed Strom Thurmond’s filibuster of a civil rights bill in 1957.
Senator Cory Booker, his voice still booming after more than a day spent on the Senate floor railing against the Trump administration, on Tuesday night surpassed Strom Thurmond for the longest Senate speech on record, in an act of astonishing stamina that he framed as a call to action.
Mr. Booker, a New Jersey Democrat and one-time presidential candidate, began his speech at 7 p.m. on Monday, vowing to speak as long as he was “physically able.” In a show of physical and oratorical endurance, he lasted past sunset on Tuesday, assailing President Trump’s cuts to government agencies and crackdown on immigration.
He ended his speech at 8:05 p.m., 46 minutes after eclipsing Mr. Thurmond’s 24-hour 18-minute filibuster of a civil rights bill in 1957. He finished by quoting John Lewis, the civil rights hero and congressman. Mr. Booker said of Lewis: “He said for us to go out and cause some good trouble, necessary trouble, to redeem the soul of our nation. I want you to redeem the dream. Let’s be bold in America.”...

President Trump’s Tariff Plans on 'Liberation Day'
from the New York Times
Today is, in President Trump’s telling, “Liberation Day.” For decades, many countries have imposed higher trade barriers on the United States than America does on them. In a Rose Garden event, Trump plans to strike back with tariffs that he claims will be “reciprocal” — ones that merely counter the penalties of other nations.
The logic is intuitive: Why shouldn’t we impose tariffs on countries that have imposed tariffs on us? Europe’s tax on U.S. cars, for instance, has been four times as high as America’s tax on European vehicles. That doesn’t seem fair.
Past presidents asked the same question — and came to a different conclusion than Trump did. They saw such tariffs as self-harm. That’s because America would lose more in a global trade war than every major economy except Mexico, experts estimate...
