Senator Jim Banks (R) isn’t sorry he told a fired federal worker “he probably deserved it”.
He went on to say the worker was “complaining about losing a left-wing woke job in the federal government that should have never been a job to begin with”.
The job was helping people with disabilities.

MacCALLUM: Will American workers make shirts and garments for the same--? Obviously the labor costs are so much cheaper overseas in those places

Trump tariffs come into effect in ‘seismic’ shift to global trade
‘Baseline’ 10% import levy takes effect at US seaports, airports and customs warehouses on Saturday, with some higher tariffs to begin next week
US customs agents began collecting President Donald Trump’s unilateral 10% tariff on all imports from many countries on Saturday, with higher levies on goods from 57 larger trading partners due to start next week.
The initial 10% “baseline” tariff took effect at US seaports, airports and customs warehouses at 12.01am ET (0401 GMT), ushering in Trump’s full rejection of the post-second world war system of mutually agreed tariff rates. Continue reading...

‘What was their crime?’ Families tell of shock over IDF killing of Gaza paramedics
Relatives who waited agonising week before bodies were found speak of passion that drove Red Crescent workers
• Our aid workers were brutally killed and thrown into a mass grave in Gaza. This must never happen again
Gaza is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a civilian now that Israeli forces have resumed their military campaign with even more ferocity, but for the first responders who rush towards the wreckage of bombed buildings, the risks are multiplied many times over.
The 15 paramedics and rescue workers whose bodies were found last weekend in a bulldozed pit outside Rafah knew they were putting their lives in peril to try to save others, but they could not have been prepared for what awaited them in the early hours of 23 March. Continue reading...
