Donald Trump has signed an executive order targeting the Smithsonian Institution by threatening to withdrawal federal funding from its programs that contain what he calls “divisive narratives” and “improper ideology.”
The president said there has been a “concerted and widespread” effort over the past decade to rewrite American history by replacing “objective facts” with a “distorted narrative driven by ideology rather than truth.”
His order instructs Vice President JD Vance to “remove improper ideology” from the Smithsonian’s museums, education and research centers and the National Zoo.
The VP and Second Lady Usha Vance will meanwhile visit Greenland today, where they risk being shunned by the locals.
Elsewhere, Trump pulled Elise Stefanik’s nomination to be his UN ambassador over fears that a special election in her upstate New York district might endanger the slim Republican majority in the House of Representatives – crucial to enacting the president’s agenda.
Stefanik appeared on Fox News shortly afterwards to insist she was “proud to be a team player.”
Elon Musk and members of his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) team were also on Fox to talk about their efforts to cut back government spending and staff numbers, with Musk dismissing his critics as “fraudsters.”

Trump’s ban on trans people in the military struck down by another judge: ‘Plainly discriminates’
15:50 , Joe Sommerlad
A second judge has blocked the president’s ban on transgender service members in the U.S. military, a “plainly” discriminatory directive with “no evidence” to support the administration’s claims, according to the ruling.
“The government’s arguments are not persuasive, and it is not an especially close question on this record,” George W Bush-appointed District Judge Benjamin Settle wrote in a 65-page opinion Thursday.
Trump’s executive order, one of several that explicitly removes federal recognition of trans people, claims that the “adoption of a gender identity inconsistent with an individual’s sex conflicts with a soldier’s commitment to an honorable, truthful, and disciplined lifestyle, even in one’s personal life.”
Responding, Settle wrote: “The government has… provided no evidence supporting the conclusion that military readiness, unit cohesion, lethality, or any of the other touchstone phrases long used to exclude various groups from service have in fact been adversely impacted by open transgender service.
“The court can only find that there is none.”

Trump warned automakers not to raise prices after his tariffs and be happy how ‘great’ they are
15:35 , Joe Sommerlad
The president reportedly warned America’s top automakers not to raise their prices in response to his 25 percent tariffs on imports that were announced this week.
Trump hosted a call with CEOs Mary Barra of General Motors, John Elkann of Stellantis, and Ford’s Jim Farley in early March and touted the tariffs, assuring the executives they would be “great,” The Wall Street Journal reports.
Auto industry experts, however, have warned that the tariffs risk American consumers having to pay “thousands” of dollars more for vehicles.
“Trump said they should be grateful for his elimination of what he called former President Joe Biden’s electric-vehicle mandate,” the Journal said of the call.
The president is also reported to have “made a lengthy pitch” on how automakers would benefit from the levies, insisting he was “bringing manufacturing back to the U.S. and was better for their industry than previous presidents.”

Breaking: Trump calls on Supreme Court to let him deport Venezuelans under Alien Enemies Act
14:55 , Joe Sommerlad
The president is calling on the U.S. Supreme Court to allow his administration to resume removing immigrants from the United States under the Alien Enemies Act, a centuries-old wartime law invoked for the fourth time in American history to target Venezuelans.
“This case presents fundamental questions about who decides how to conduct sensitive national-security-related operations in this country,” according to the administration’s filing with the nation’s highest court on Friday.
“The Constitution supplies a clear answer: the President. The republic cannot afford a different choice,” the petition states.
The request follows a federal appeals court’s rejection of the president’s attempt to throw out a lower-court ruling that is temporarily blocking the administration from deporting immigrants under the law.
Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act earlier this month as three planes with dozens of Venezuelans were sent to a notorious prison in El Salvador, where they do not have access to legal counsel and face the prospect of indefinite detention.

Automakers sees stocks tank after Trump’s tariff on car imports

America’s auto giants saw their stocks tumble in response to the president’s announcement this week that he would place a 25 percent tariff on “all cars that are not made in the United States” and on certain car parts.
The Trump administration’s decision falls in line with previous threats on tariffs but those warnings are only now solidifying.
Under Trump’s latest executive order, the tariffs will kick in on vehicles on April 3 and for auto parts on May 3.

The right-leaning newspaper owned by one-time Trump backer Rupert Murdoch issued a stinging editorial rebuking the president and his cabinet this week in response to the Signalgate scandal, a broadside the White House may not have been expecting.
“The administration seems to think it can bully its way through anything by shouting ‘Fake News’ and attacking the press,” the Journal snapped.
Sometimes, it advised, the Trump camp has to “admit to a mistake” and “take the loss.”

The memo, sent on Tuesday, instructed staffers to “capture and transmit” work-related messages that have been exchanged on personal devices, “whether via text, Signal, a personal email address, or otherwise” to comply with the Presidential Records Act.
Messages about work exchanged on personal devices should be captured via screenshot and forwarded to work devices, the memo said.
The memo also advised staff to disable auto-delete features on messaging services to better comply with the requirements.

Elise Stefanik insists she’s ‘proud to be a team player’ after Trump yanks her nomination for UN ambassador
09:30 , Joe Sommerlad
The New York Representative put a brave face on her disappointment last night as she declared that she is “proud to be a team player” after the president withdrew her nomination for U.S. ambassador to the United Nations in order to keep her in Congress and not disturb the Republicans’ slim majority in the House of Representatives.
“I was honored to have earned that nomination by President Trump, and I’m proud to be one of his top allies on Capitol Hill,” she told Fox News host and former Trump spokesperson Kayleigh McEnany in an interview last night.
“I have been proud to be a team player, the president knows that. He and I had multiple conversations today, and we are committed to delivering results on behalf of the American people. And as always, I’m committed to delivering results on behalf of my constituents,” she said.
Trump announced his decision keeping Stefanik in Congress on Truth Social earlier in the day, apparently suddenly much more concerned about the GOP’s tight 218-213 majority in the House than he was when he nominated her, perhaps worried by the prospect of a special election in her New York district if she were to take up the ambassadorial role.
This is nobody’s idea of a good time, however.

Push to dismantle Education Department will undue hard-won gains, say Civil rights groups
06:30 , Oliver O’Connell
The rights of Americans to self-determine how to educate their children — a hotly contested matter that stretches back to at least the Civil War — have long been intertwined with the principle of equally and equitably educating children across racial lines.
When President Donald Trump last week signed an executive order to dismantle the U.S. Education Department, he declared that“the experiment of controlling American education through federal programs and dollars … has plainly failed our children, our teachers, and our families.” By doing so, he reopened a debate in the fight over the federal government’s role in education policy.
Civil rights advocates see Trump’s order to shutter the department as a broadside against hard-fought gains in educational access — an unfinished, but nonetheless central, part of the movement for racial equality and greater democracy.

Elise Stefanik hit back against suggestions that her withdrawn UN Ambassador nomination was a “sign that the Trump agenda isn’t working.”

“President Trump has historic approval ratings, as well as congressional Republicans [who] have historic approval ratings right now,” she said.
“So this is a Democrat party that is an absolute free fall. Democrats are failing to unify, versus Republicans who are defying all political odds.

COMMENT: The ‘Coalition of the Willing’ summit in Paris proved that the US and Europe are an ocean apart
Thursday 27 March 2025 23:45 , Oliver O’Connell
Mary Dejevsky writes:
However hard Emmanuel Macron and Sir Keir Starmer tried to disguise the fact, it was transatlantic divisions, rather than agreements, that emerged from Thursday’s Paris summit.
Despite their designation as joint chairs, the French and UK leaders held separate press conferences. As Starmer noted in his, this was the fourth meeting to consider what is termed either a “coalition of the willing” (UK) or a “reassurance force” (France and Germany). He noted that more than 200 military specialists had spent days planning in London. Both he and Macron did their best to avoid directly cutting across the US’s peace efforts, stressing that European plans were designed for “the day after” a deal. Both went out of their way to appear positive about President Trump.
It was hard, nonetheless, to escape the impression that they were waiting for the US effort to fail, and so were banking on some rather different tactics.
