A note from reality: Trump says that he is imposing tariffs on 8 EU countries, but that's not doable. The EU is a single trading block and customs union. Things made in the EU are simply "made in EU." Many products such as autos or machinery are made with components from multiple EU countries.

Standing outside 26 Federal Plaza this morning to call out a quiet injustice: asylum seekers facing pretermission without a fair hearing.
This is the federal government denying due process. We must organize and pursue legal avenues to stop it.

Unlicensed betting has surged over the last four years

Gambling Commission accused of underestimating issue
