Whiplash (feat. Paula Poundstone)

Thursday, April 10th, 2025

Today, in a move that only everyone could have predicted; Trump has paused the tariffs for 90 days but says he’s raising tariffs on China to 125%; judges in New York and Texas issue temporary restraining orders in the Alien Enemies Act cases; a federal judge gave the Trump administration until Wednesday night to show any proof to justify the deportation of Mahmoud Khalil; the Supreme Court has stayed a lower court's order and have effectively re-re-fired Gwynn Wilcox and Cathy Harris; an ex-Facebook employee is set to tell Congress that Zuckerberg compromised National Security; the National Park Service has restored the Underground Railroad and Harriet Tubman web pages; the acting IRS Commissioner has resigned after a data sharing deal with immigration authorities; Abrego Garcia’s lawyers file a surreply with the Supreme Court emphasizing how wild it is that the DOJ is disavowing its own lawyers; an appeals court has cleared the way for Trump to fire probationary employees; and Allison and Dana deliver your Good News.
