Jobs
The Guardian - Europe’s largest automaker, Volkswagen, is to shed 50,000 jobs by the end of the decade, as it faces falling sales in China and North America and punitive US tariffs imposed by Donald Trump.....The group had already struck a deal with German trade unions at the end of 2024 to cut 35,000 jobs by 2030, in part by natural attrition through retirement and other staff departures.

Washington Post - The Pentagon burned through $5.6 billion worth of munitions during the first two days of its military assault on Iran, according to three U.S. officials, a figure that underscores the deepening alarm among some on Capitol Hill over the speed at which U.S. forces have eaten into the scarce supply of America’s most advanced weaponry.
CBS - More than 36,000 American citizens have safely returned to the U.S. from the Middle East since the start of the U.S.-Israel war on Iran, the State Department said on Monday.

Judge cancels three illegal attorney general appointments by Trump
Alternet - Pam Bondi keeps illegally appointing attorney generals for New Jersey and local judges keep throwing them out. A chief U.S. District Judge for Pennsylvania rejected three new leaders of the New Jersey U.S. attorney's office on the argument that the Trump administration is illegally trying to circumvent Senate confirmation of U.S. attorneys.
“One year into this administration, it is plain that President [Donald] Trump and his top aides have chafed at the limits on their power set forth by law and the Constitution,” wrote Chief District Judge Matthew W. Brann on Monday. “To avoid these roadblocks, this administration frequently purports to have discovered enormous grants of executive power hidden in the vagaries and silences of the code.”
After Brann determined that Trump administration appointee Alina Habba was unlawfully serving as the acting U.S. Attorney for New Jersey and booted her, AG Pam Bondi appointed and delegated a “Byzantine” triumvirate of lesser leaders, all unconfirmed by the U.S. Senate: Senior Counsel Philip Lamparello became Senior Counsel, Special Jordan Fox and Executive Assistant US Attorney Ari Fontecchio to conduct prosecutions.
But because the triumvirate are all equally unconfirmed by the Senate, all are illegally conducting prosecutions for New Jersey, ruled Brann — who then ejected the three.
Trump threatens to kill another Iranian leader
New Republic - The Iranian Assembly of Experts named Mojtaba Khamenei the country’s new supreme leader just a week after the U.S. and Israel assassinated his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, along with other senior officials. Now President Trump wants to kill him too—unless he capitulates to his demands.
“President Trump has told aides he would back the killing of new Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei if he proves unwilling to cede to U.S. demands, such as ending Iran’s nuclear development,” The Wall Street Journal reported on Monday, citing current and former U.S. officials.
.... “‘We’re just gonna keep assassinating a country’s leadership until they appoint someone we like’ is a really novel precedent in international relations and statecraft which I hope the geniuses running the show in DC and Israel fully understand the implications of,” national security analyst John Schindler wrote on X.
Trump has called the younger Khamenei “unacceptable” and “a big mistake.” But killing leader after leader until one decides to bend the knee is far from a plan at all.
What does Trump's threat to cancel all action on bills until the SAVE Act is signed really mean
Chris Bowers - So, President Donald Trump is now vowing that he will not sign any legislation until Senate Republicans change the 60-vote cloture rule, commonly known as the filibuster, so that the SAVE Act can pass the chamber, mail-in voting is heavily restricted, and a bunch of other demands concerning transgender issues that have nothing to do with election administration are included in the package....
Below this related letter campaign, I unpack what we know and don't know about this threat, as well as looking at the chances that Trump might succeed with it...
Is there any legislation awaiting Donald Trump's signature right now?
There are currently six bills that have been passed by both the House and Senate, which are poised — if Trump does keep his word — to become law without a presidential signature. Three would award Medals of Honor, to Vietnam War veterans John Ripley and James Capers and Afghanistan War veteran Kareem Dockery. The others concern tribal land, an Alaska Native village corporation, and a National Conservation Area in Nevada....
Numerous other uncontroversial, but still potentially consequential, bills are working their way through Congress even as you read this. So, given the 10 day (excluding Sundays) timeline laid out in the Constitution, we will get a sense pretty quickly of what Trump intends to do.
Does Donald Trump ever back down from threats like these?
Oh, all the time...Just because Trump says he is going to do something doesn't mean he actually does it....
In order to change Senate rules regarding the 60-vote cloture requirement, commonly known as the filibuster, Republicans need 50 senators plus J.D. Vance to agree to it. However, Republicans only have 53 senators, including at least four–Sens. Collins, McConnell, Murkowski and Tillis–who will simply never give in to Donald Trump on this threat no matter what, period. Republicans simply lack the votes here. In fact, as Senate Majority Leader John Thune said last month, Republicans are "not even close" to having the votes to change the 60-vote cloture rule...
The SAVE Act is the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act. It would significantly increase the documentation requirements to register to vote. A driver's license would no longer be sufficient, as it does not prove U.S. citizenship. Instead, when registering to vote, Americans would be required to produce some form of documentation that does prove citizenship, such as a birth certificate or passport.
According to the Bipartisan Policy Center, when a similar law was passed in Kansas, it prevented approximately 12% of people who attempted to registrar to vote from succeeding. Republicans want to pass this law because many of them believe that huge numbers of illegal aliens are voting in elections, which simply isn't true.

The Trump-Netanyahu war vs. Iran
Time - President Donald Trump vowed that the U.S. will hit Iran “twenty times harder” than it already has if the country does anything to block the flow of oil through the Strait of Hormuz.
“We will take out easily destroyable targets that will make it virtually impossible for Iran to ever be built back as a nation again,” Trump threatened Monday night. “Death, fire, and fury will reign upon them. But I hope, and pray, that it does not happen.”
NPR - Rather than discuss unconditional surrender or regime change, Trump compared the situation in Iran to Venezuela, where the regime stays in place, but the leader changes, NPR's Mara Liasson tells Up First. But Liasson says Iran is very different from Venezuela, which is a small, weak country in the U.S.' backyard. She adds that the president didn't give answers when pressed about whether not pushing for regime change meant he was betraying his promise to give Iranians their freedom. Iran’s biggest objective is currently survival, Liasson says. They want to make it uncomfortable for the U.S and Israel to continue the war. Iran wants the price of staying in the region to be high, and Liasson says this means they want to keep gas prices high. With U.S. oil prices nearing $4 per gallon, continuing the war could become increasingly more challenging for Trump.
Iranian health officials report that the U.S. and Israeli campaign has killed 1,200, while Lebanese authorities count 500 deaths. In Lebanon, President Joseph Aoun is pushing for direct negotiations with Israel and an end to the bombings, NPR’s Hadeel Al-Shalchi says. Aoun is seeking international support to equip the Lebanese Armed Forces in their efforts to disarm Hezbollah, the Iran-backed militant group. Last week, Hezbollah dragged Lebanon into this war after it launched rockets into Israel. An Israeli official, speaking anonymously, told NPR that Israel views the Lebanese government's approach to Hezbollah positively, but the war will continue.
NBC News - President Donald Trump categorized the war in Iran as “a short-term excursion” yesterday, suggesting the 10-day conflict that has roiled the Middle East could be nearing its end. At the same time, he warned of intensifying strikes if Iran restricts a key oil route.
Trump did not put a timeline on the end of the war when pressed for details, and he warned that the U.S. would retaliate with immense force if the Iranians attacked ships in the crucial Strait of Hormuz. On social media, the president vowed “death, fire and fury will reign upon them.”
Trump was asked about a new video that appears to show a U.S. Tomahawk missile hitting an area where a strike killed more than 170 people at a girls’ school in Iran. He said he hadn’t seen the video and suggested, without offering any evidence, that the Tomahawk could have been fired by Iran, which is not known to have such missiles. The Defense Department is still investigating the strike, he said.
“Whatever the report shows, I’m willing to live with that report,” he said.

Donald Trump
Alternet - Steve Schmidt, a former Republican strategist who once worked for President George W. Bush, posted on his Monday Substack that President Donald Trump’s entire administration is “barbaric.”
“Things are rotten in America,” Schmidt said. “The president is rotten, and so is his villainous Cabinet.” He cited as one example the fact that Secretary of State Marco Rubio attended the “Shield of the Americas” summit with Enrique Tarrio, a “Proud Boy terrorist” who was convicted of conspiracy for Trump’s attempted coup after the 2020 presidential election.
“It is a sickening picture — an MRI — that exposes the rot of Rubio’s character,” Schmidt argued. “The scripture-quoting hypocrite is directly, personally and morally responsible for the destruction of American aid programs that will cause the deaths of 14 million human beings by 2030 before the bell tolls at the end of these rotten years.”
Elaborating on the “barbaric” administration, Schmidt wrote of Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth that he is “one of the greatest degenerates ever associated with the American Armed Forces, a moral disgrace who was condemned by his own mother over his broken character.” He called out Vice President JD Vance for comparing Trump to Nazi German leader Adolf Hitler in 2016, then abandoning his principles to work for him. He denounced Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), a staunch Trump supporter, for bragging about being the “architect” of Trump’s Iran war.

Health
Maine Morning Star - State Medicaid budgets will be reduced by a total of $665 billion over the next decade, after President Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act cuts federal investment in the health insurance program, according to a new analysis.
Researchers from RAND Health, a policy and research nonprofit, analyzed state and federal data to estimate how much the loss of federal money will affect state Medicaid budgets, publishing their findings late last month. Medicaid is the public health insurance program for people with low incomes, jointly funded by state and federal money.
Middle East
Headline USA - The escalating war in Iran has already rattled global markets and driven oil prices to their highest levels since April 2024. If the conflict persists, the strain on the global economy deepens and the burden on U.S. taxpayers grows.
With U.S. military operations costing more than a billion dollars each day, experts warn that a prolonged war could require a significant increase in defense spending, further affecting the federal budget.

Independence Journal - Iran’s $20,000 drones are burning through Gulf allies’ multi-million-dollar U.S.-made interceptors—raising the question of who runs out first when America’s own stocks and production lines are already strained.
Gulf states report shooting down more than 1,000 Iranian drones and missiles since late February, rapidly draining interceptor stockpiles that can take years to replace.
Officials and analysts describe an attrition problem: cheap, mass-launched threats force defenders to spend scarce, expensive interceptors—often multiple per target.
Reports say Gulf governments have sought U.S. resupply, while U.S. decision-making and production limits complicate rapid replenishment.
NPR - A senior Israeli defense official told NPR’s Daniel Estrin this weekend that Israel aims to dismantle Iran’s military forces within three weeks. On Up First, Estrin says the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told him the plan is to target Iran’s army, navy and military industries to the point that the regime has no fighting force left. However, Israel acknowledges that Trump could end the war at any time, though the U.S. has not provided a timeline for the war. Over the weekend, Israel targeted Iran’s oil facilities, which U.S. officials were not happy about. A person who was briefed on the matter told Estrin that U.S. officials were displeased with the extent of the damage.
The war has created a major bottleneck in the Strait of Hormuz. The situation is raising concerns about a potential global energy crisis and shortages of essential goods in the Persian Gulf region. NPR’s Jackie Northam says about 120 container ships loaded with valuable cargo, such as food, fertilizer and aluminum, are in limbo. Shipping companies are not accepting new bookings. Analysts Northam spoke with say the conflict is disrupting the typically efficient shipping industry, causing delays that stress ports and could harm the market.
The price of Brent crude oil, the global benchmark, surged past $100 when energy markets opened yesterday. Crude oil was last in the triple digits in 2022, after Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The increase is driven by panic over the unclear plan for reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
Images from Tehran, a city of nearly 10 million people, showed thick black smoke from the fires hanging over it, while residents reported difficulty breathing and oil-tainted rainfall staining everything around them.
"The rain is black, I can't believe it, I'm seeing black rain," Kianoosh, 44, a Tehran resident and engineer, told TIME. "It's even in Tajrish, which is miles and miles away from the oil tanks."

Trump's key election targets
NY Times - Facing the possibility of big losses for Republicans in the midterm elections, President Trump has reiterated his unfounded assertions of electoral fraud. He has also begun speaking of the need to “nationalize” elections, and for Republican officials to “take over” voting procedures in parts of the country.
This rhetoric is often vague, coming across as a hint of plan, rather than an actual one.
But a map of potential targets may be coming into focus and includes the swing states Michigan, Georgia, North Carolina and Arizona. Voting experts, government officials and others have identified a host of conditions that could make those places ripe for meddling from the Trump administration or its allies.
In Michigan, a coalition of right-wing activists has obtained copies of about 150,000 absentee ballots and envelopes from the 2020 election, and is organizing to investigate them for errors, anomalies or fraud.
In North Carolina and Arizona, several Republican legislators and local election officials continue to embrace electoral conspiracy theories and have pushed for more control over voting processes.
How AI firm Anthropic wound up in the Pentagon’s crosshairs
The Guardian - Until recently, Anthropic was one of the quieter names in the artificial intelligence boom. Despite being valued at about $350bn, it rarely generated the flashy headlines or public backlash associated with Sam Altman’s OpenAI or Elon Musk’s xAI. Its CEO and co-founder Dario Amodei was an industry fixture but hardly a household name outside of Silicon Valley, and its chatbot Claude lagged in popularity behind ChatGPT.
That perception has shifted as Anthropic has become the central actor in a high-profile fight with the Department of Defense over the company’s refusal to allow Claude to be used for domestic mass surveillance and autonomous weapons systems that can kill people without human input. Amid tense negotiations, the AI firm rejected a Pentagon deadline for a deal last week, in a move that led Pete Hegseth, the defense secretary, to accuse Anthropic of “arrogance and betrayal” of its home country while demanding that any companies that work with the US government cease all business with the AI firm.
The week since has brought more chaos. OpenAI announced it had struck its own deal with the DoD, resulting in employee pushback and Amodei accusing rival CEO Sam Altman of giving “dictator-style praise” to Donald Trump, for which Amodei later apologized. Trump meanwhile denounced Anthropic in an interview with Politico, saying he “fired them like dogs”. On Thursday, the DoD formally declared Anthropic a supply-chain risk and demanded other businesses cut ties – the first time an American company has ever been targeted with the designation – which poses grave financial consequences for the company if fully enacted....

Newsworthy News - The District of Columbia Court of Appeals issued a March 2026 ruling declaring the District’s ban on magazines holding more than 10 rounds unconstitutional under the Second Amendment. The decision came in the appeal of Benson, who had been convicted for possessing magazines banned by D.C. Code § 22-2510.01(b). The court reversed the conviction and treated the magazines at issue as protected “arms,” emphasizing their common use and functional role in firearms
Congress hides misconduct files
Newsworthy News - When 357 members of Congress just voted to keep their own sexual misconduct records buried, Americans got a rare, unfiltered look at how the D.C. swamp really protects itself.
Rep. Nancy Mace forced a vote to expose congressional sexual harassment records; the House crushed it 357–to–few. Progressive star AOC and bipartisan leadership lined up against full disclosure, citing “process” and “privacy.”
The clash pits transparency and accountability against an entrenched system that shields powerful incumbents. For constitutional conservatives, it reinforces why career politicians cannot be trusted to police themselves.
Learning to be old
Sam Smith – As I approach
my ninth decade on this planet I’ve finally started thinking seriously about
being old. Among the factors that encouraged me was noticing that I was no
longer as involved with other people. After all, over 200 of my close
relatives, friends and co-workers have died and are no longer around. And only about 2% of men 85 or older are
still alive.
With more time on my hands, I
started searching for a metaphor for my status. As writer Thomas L. Friendman, has put it, “One of my
writing techniques has always been to employ metaphors to explain
complex issues.”
Following his advice, the first thing
that came to mind was my time as a musician. I had much enjoyed it but now
realize how insignificant my role had actually been. For example, if you are playing in a band and you note the number
of choruses played by the group and other musicians’ solos, your own singular performance
seems pretty minor.
The same is true of other aspects
of one’s life. What is rarely mentioned about musicians is that they use their
non-solo time helping others in a detailed manner. This sort of working
together happens far more frequently in our normal lives but we seldom discuss
it. If musical notes can bring us so well together, perhaps other things can also.
But our collective minds have
gone in alternative directions. Today, success is something you are meant to
display as a personal trait and not share with others. My guess is that
starting in about the 1980s our nation switched increasingly from a cooperative
democracy to a self centered corpocracy.
For me, thankfully, there were experiences
that led me otherwise. Having five siblings taught me early on that progress
was often a shared and not a competitive skill. Serving as operations officer
on a Coast Guard cutter illustrated to me that, regardless of rank, you really
depended on those who had the right answer at the right time. And working as media advisor to Marion Barry
when he was the first chair of SNCC
showed me that not even skin color had to divide us.
I was lucky to have had others
who taught me values and wisdom, but hardly any would be prominent today. For
example, we seldom mention Lyndon
Johnson any more.
Now I find myself in a different
society, one in which individual power and success is considered infinitely
more important than cooperation, group achievement or shared decency.
Fortunately I now live in a small
Maine town where numerous summers had taught me the pleasures and satisfaction
of decency and common effort. I don’t feel the power or significance that many
of my acquaintances seek but I can still find happiness in a place so small and
gentle that joy has remained easy to come by and even being 88 doesn’t feel so
bad.

Black bookstores
Axios - Just 54 Black-owned bookstores were identified across the U.S a decade ago. Today, a new report counts 306. As public schools and libraries remove books by Black authors — from Beloved to The 1619 Project — Black-owned bookstores are increasingly serving as places where readers can access contested titles and authors' full bodies of work — and gather in community to discuss them....
By the numbers: 90% of the stores report annual revenue under $250,000. 36% operate without a permanent brick-and-mortar location. 14 states have no Black-owned bookstore at all, and sales of books by Black authors declined 14% even as overall print sales slightly rose.
Black-owned bookstores represent about 8% of independent bookstores— even though only 4% of the publishing workforce identifies as Black.
Immigrants
Huffington Post - A divided U.S. appeals court has refused to let the Trump administration revoke legal protections that allow more than 350,000 Haitians to live and work in the U.S. and avoid being returned to their gang-violence-stricken country.
ICE
Newsweek - A diabetic Norwegian woman who was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has told Newsweek that she feared she might die in detention as her requests for insulin were repeatedly ignored. Hanne Daguman (née Engan) 24, moved to San Diego, California, in July 2022 where she met her now-husband Joshua Daguman only a month later. After their friendship blossomed, they got engaged and later married on October 13, 2024.
Although her visa expired on September 17, 2024, Hanne was advised by multiple immigration attorneys that this "would not be an issue" due to the U.S. immigration law section INA § 245(a). This clause states that someone who is already in the U.S. and meets certain requirements may be able to get their green card without leaving. One stipulation of this law is that an immigrant visa must be immediately available, unless you are the immediate relative (e.g. spouse) of a U.S. citizen. While Hanne was aware that she overstayed her visa, she told Newsweek that she was "never concerned about being arrested by ICE" because she was following section INA § 245(a).
