Southern University in Louisiana was awarded $600,000 for its "Project Farm to Feminine Hygiene", a bold effort to develop natural alternatives to synthetic sanitary products. Using regenerative cotton, wool, and industrial hemp, the project also planned to launch educational programmes and support local fibre farmers by building a processing facility. But that vision has been cut short. On 7 March, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins announced on X that she was revoking the funding, claiming the grant was meant to study “menstrual cycles in transgender men.” It wasn’t. The actual documentation mentions transgender people only once—acknowledging that they, too, may menstruate. The single-line reference was enough to trigger a misinformation storm.

Vitali Klitschko said the city was under missile attack on Sunday with explosions in the Ukrainian capital, two days after a Russian missile killed 18 people in President Volodymyr Zelensky's hometown. Klitschko said paramedics had been sent to two districts in Kyiv, while the Ukrainian air force said missiles had entered the northern Chernihiv region. «Explosions in the capital. Air defence is in operation,» Klitschko said on Telegram. «The missile attack on Kyiv continues. Stay in shelters!» He added that three people were injured so far, and said there was reported wreckage falling in two non-residential sites.

Such conflicts, after all, are counterproductive in the first place. Raising levies on imports simply increases costs for domestic consumers, more than offsetting the benefits that local producers may enjoy from the higher prices they receive from the shift in spending. The best solution is just to stand aloof from this contest of economic self-harm, however much you’re provoked. That’s the case with most economies — but China, which has announced a 34% import tax against all US goods in response to President Donald Trump’s tariff blitz earlier last Wednesday, may be a rare exception. That’s because the world’s biggest manufacturer has spent decades building an economy that’s already largely war-proofed against blowback from its own trade practices. Consider the main items the nations trade with each other. The major products that the US imports from China are mostly things you’ll find in a Walmart Inc., at a shopping mall, or on Amazon.com Inc.: smartphones, computers, games consoles, furniture, toys and clothing. Slap a 54% tariff on these items, as Trump has done, and American consumers are going to notice pretty soon.

2024 election was over, the then vice president Kamala Harris made the tough phone call to president-elect Donald Trump to concede the election. As expected, the call was tense and awkward, but new information from Chris Whipple's upcoming new book 'Uncharted: How Trump Beat Biden, Harris, and the Odds in the Wildest Campaign in History', highlighted just how uncomfortable the conversation actually was, as per a report. The call was arranged from her Naval Observatory residence in Washington D.C., with her campaign Chief of Staff Sheila Nix and White House Chief of Staff Lorraine Voles, reported Daily Mail. According to Whipple's book, «Nix called the president-elect on her cell phone — but for some reason couldn't merge the call with the vice president's phone. So Voles called Harris on hers — and she and Nix pressed the phones together,» quoted Daily Mail. After Trump picked up the call, Voles told Trump that, «The vice president is on the line,» as quoted in the report.

Judge gives U.S. 72 hours to bring back Maryland dad wrongfully deported to El Salvador — «Bring Kilmar home.» That’s the message written across signs held tightly by family, friends, and neighbors in Maryland. Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a hardworking 29-year-old father and sheet metal worker, was wrongfully deported by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)—a move the government later admitted was due to an “administrative error.” ICE now says the deportation was a mistake. But for Kilmar, that “mistake” landed him in a high-security prison in El Salvador, a country he fled in 2011 to escape violent gangs. His family hasn’t stopped fighting for his return—and now, a federal judge is stepping in.

Among those ousted were its director, Dr. John Howard, who had been in the job through three previous presidential administrations, AP reported. The layoffs are stalling — and perhaps ending — many programmes, including a firefighter cancer registry and a lab that is key to certifying respirators for many industries, as per the report. The cuts are «a very pointed attack on workers in this country», said Micah Niemeier-Walsh, vice president of the union local representing NIOSH employees in Cincinnati. Unions that represent miners, nurses, flight attendants and other professions have criticized the cuts, saying it will slow the identification and prevention of workplace dangers. Rallies in Cincinnati and other cities drew not only fired CDC employees but also members of unions representing teachers, postal workers and bricklayers, Niemeier-Walsh said.

Donald Trump ramps up trade tariffs on nations worldwide. As early as this summer, Nissan plans to reduce production at its Fukuoka factory in western Japan and shift some manufacturing of its Rogue SUV to the United States to mitigate the impact of Trump's tariffs, the business newspaper said, without citing the source of its information. The Japanese automaker's Rogue SUV, a key model in the U.S. market, is now produced in Fukuoka and the United States, the report said. On Thursday, Nissan said it would not take new orders from the U.S. for two Mexican-built Infiniti SUVs after earlier Trump tariff announcements, marking, a drastic scale-back of its operations at a joint venture plant.

Senate Republicans plugged away overnight and into early Saturday morning to approve their multitrillion-dollar tax breaks and spending cuts framework, hurling past a hard line of Democratic opposition toward what President Donald Trump calls the «big, beautiful bill» that's central to his agenda. The vote, 51-48, fell along mostly party lines. It could not have come at a more difficult political moment.

Even some Republicans have expressed concerns. But with a nod from Trump GOP leaders held determined to march ahead.
