A significant ruling by a federal appeals court has revived sweeping import tariffs, overturning a previous decision made by a U.S. trade court.

The decision to bring back the tariffs comes at a time when there are growing concerns in the financial markets. A new fiscal bill under consideration in the U.S. includes…

The public pool originally opened as an open-air facility, offering a refreshing new place for the town’s residents. In 1984, the pool transitioned to an indoor one, becoming a…

New Executive Order Replaces Multilingual Language Services with English-only Requirement On March 1, 2025, President Donald Trump signed a controversial executive order declaring English as the official language of the United States, marking a significant shift in the federal government’s language policies. This new directive effectively rolls back provisions from previous administrations, particularly the Clinton era, which had mandated that federal agencies provide assistance in languages other than English to individuals with limited English proficiency. Under the terms of the order, federal agencies now have the authority to independently decide whether to offer services in any language besides English. This…

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has recently adjusted its global economic forecast, reducing the global growth projection for 2025 to 3.1%, down from the previous 3.2% estimated for 2024. This revision, outlined in the OECD’s Interim Economic Outlook, highlights several challenges that are expected to dampen economic momentum worldwide. Among the key contributors to this slowdown are rising trade barriers, geopolitical instability, and tightening financial conditions, all of which are creating a less favorable environment for global growth. The impact of these global challenges varies across regions, but the OECD points to significant implications for major economies.…

Trump, sticking to his signature “America First” policy,…

On February 28, 2025, a bold and unprecedented event unfolded across the United States—the “Economic Blackout,” a 24-hour nationwide boycott against consumer spending. Organized by The People’s Union USA, this mass protest aimed to send a powerful message to major corporations and affluent individuals whose influence on the economy, some argue, often leaves working-class Americans struggling to make ends meet. The boycott’s central premise was simple: to pause consumer spending for one full day, thereby highlighting the immense power and control the marketplace holds over everyday people. Social media played a crucial role in propelling the Economic Blackout into the…
