- The maker of Jeeps & Ram trucks laid off 900 U.S. workers
- J.P. Morgan predicts there's a 60% chance of a global recession

Update: CNN reports that the State Dept is now *confirming* cancellation of the contract tracking abducted Ukrainian kids, claiming it's not in US interests. Also, a State spox claims data is with a subcontractor. If true, pressure will now intensify to reinstate the program.

This law has historically been used only during declared wars, such as the War of 1812, World War I, and World War II. Applying it now, without an official war, raises major legal and ethical concerns, particularly about its constitutionality and impact on civil rights.

Trump is labeling certain expenses as “FRAUD,” despite most of his claims being completely false—for example, they have even called cancer funding fraud. USAID and EPA employees are being individually targeted for allocating funds—funds they were directly instructed to allocate.
