Let’s get to the news:

  • Stock market sees its worst performance in a president’s first 100 days since Nixon in 1973 during Trump’s early term — WSJ.
  • Amazon reversed its plan to display the cost of Trump-era tariffs on product listings after Donald Trump personally called Jeff Bezos to object, according to Fox News. The plan, briefly considered for Amazon’s discount platform, was dropped just hours later, with the company stating it 'is not going to happen.'
  • ‘We’re citizens!’: Oklahoma City family left traumatized after ICE raids their home, seizing phones, laptops, and life savings — despite not being suspects. In this incident, a family in Oklahoma City experienced a traumatic event when Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents raided their home. During the raid, agents confiscated personal belongings, including phones, laptops, and the family's life savings. Notably, the family members were U.S. citizens and were not suspects in any investigation.
  • Pete Hegseth announced the cancellation of the Women, Peace, and Security program within the Department of Defense, despite the initiative being created under the 2017 Women, Peace, and Security Act — a policy originally backed by the Trump administration.
  • CBC News projects that Mark Carney’s Liberal Party will form a minority government.
  • More Americans are turning to "buy now, pay later" (BNPL) services to cover everyday expenses like groceries and takeout, but this growing reliance is leading to increased financial strain for many.
  • Adidas has announced that it may increase prices on all its U.S. products due to the impact of new tariffs introduced under the Trump administration. CEO Bjørn Gulden stated that the company cannot absorb the higher costs resulting from these tariffs, as most of its products are manufactured in Asia, and the U.S. lacks the necessary facilities for athletic footwear production.
  • In March 2025, U.S. employers posted 7.2 million job openings—the lowest since September 2024 and below economists' expectations of 7.5 million. This decline reflects a broader downward trend from a peak of 12.1 million in March 2022, amid a slowing post-COVID economic recovery.
  • The International Longshore and Warehouse Union strongly denounced Trump’s tariffs, calling them “a direct attack on the working class.” In a statement, the union said, “Tariffs are taxes,” and warned that such “reckless, shortsighted policies” are already harming American workers.
  • According to NBC News, Trump visited his golf clubs 28 times during his first 100 days in office and spent 12 of his first 14 weekends at his own properties in Florida, New Jersey, or Virginia.
  • The Corporation for Public Broadcasting has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration after Trump tried to remove three members from its board. The CPB argues that the president lacks the legal power to do so, since it operates independently and isn’t under direct control of the executive branch.
  • The Democratic National Committee (DNC) is set to vote on a challenge that could unseat Vice Chair David Hogg, following a formal complaint by Kalyn Free, a Native American attorney and party activist. Free alleges that the February 2025 vice chair election, in which she lost to Hogg, violated the DNC's Charter and discriminated against women of color candidates.

    • See you in the morning.
