Colonel Susan Meyers, the Commanding Officer of the 821st Space Base Group, which overseeing Pituffik Space Base in Greenland, has been removed from command for “loss of confidence in her ability to lead” spurred by a base-wide email she sent on March 31st, days after a visit to the base by Vice-President JD Vance, in which she attempted to distance herself from several controversial statements made by the Vice-President.
In the email, Colonel Meyers appeared to push back against several statements made during the visit by Vice-President Vance critical of Denmark and Greenland, stating, “I spent the weekend thinking about Friday's visit -- the actions taken, the words spoken, and how it must have affected each of you. I do not presume to understand current politics, but what I do know is the concerns of the U.S. administration discussed by Vice-President Vance on Friday are not reflective of Pituffik Space Base.” Adding, “I commit that, for as long as I am lucky enough to lead this base, all of our flags will fly proudly -- together,” in an apparent attempt towards unity for the thousands of Danes, Greenlanders, Americans who work at Pituffik.

He's also slapped 10% on the British Indian Ocean Territory, a.k.a. the Chagos Archipelago.
The inhabitants are roughly 3 dozen Britons, who run the place. Umpteen Filipinos who clean, cook etc.
And a US Air Wing + US Marines to guard the airbase.
He tariffed his Armed Forces!

In recent years many PC component & system manufacturers had begun moving production to places like Vietnam in an effort to avoid tariffs on China.
The new rates for those countries is a bombshell. Prices for many things tech-related will skyrocket in North America.

Why aren’t you wearing a suit?
Have you said “Thank you” to Greenland and Denmark for allowing you to have a base on Greenland?

Trump cancels 20 semi-truck loads of food deliveries en route to Ohio food bank.
Each truck holds 100,000 lbs—so that’s $2 million worth of food—about a week’s worth for Northeast Ohio.
"This food is just going to sit and spoil... And that would be the loss of 2 million, 3 million pounds of food," explained Food Bank CEO Kristin Warzocha.
They only discovered the food deliveries were canceled when they checked the website for USDA’s Food Assistance Program —no official notice was provided.
After Trump signed executive order last week, the USDA completely eliminated the Local Food Purchase Assistance and Local Food for Schools Programs.
But why cancel truck deliveries already in progress and waste all that food!?

TRUMP ADMIN SCALES BACK GREENLAND VISIT AFTER MASSIVE BACKLASH
The Trump administration has been forced to cancel most of its planned visit to Greenland after facing backlash from Greenlanders, and will now only be visiting a U.S. military base on the territory.
In advance of the visit, American representatives knocked on doors to see if any Greenlanders would welcome Usha Vance into their home. Every single person told them no.
Greenland's Prime Minister condemned the visit and demonstrations against the U.S. were planned, sending a clear message: You are not welcome here!

🚨BREAKING: It’s confirmed:
Hungary just passed the largest tax cut in Europe & the entire Western world.
- One-child mothers are exempt from income tax until they turn 30.
- Women with two or more children will have no income tax for life.
Every European nation must do this.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
No laws were passed. Just promises before election season. Currently Hungarian women are exempt from income taxes (which is not the only tax burden on wages) if they gave birth to 4 or more children, from October the law is supposed to extend the relief with 3 or more children
