Elon Musk
Elon Musk publicizes names of government employees he wants to cut
WASHINGTON — When President-elect Donald Trump said Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy would recommend major cuts to the federal government in his administration, many public employees knew that their jobs could be on the line.Now they have a new fear: becoming the personal targets of the world’s richest man – and his legions of followers.Last week, in the midst of the flurry of his daily missives, Musk reposted two X posts that revealed the names and titles of people holding four relatively obscure climate-related government positions. Each post has been viewed tens of millions of times, and the individuals named have been subjected to a barrage of negative attention.

Trump ups the ante on tariffs, vowing massive taxes on goods from Mexico, Canada and China 
WASHINGTON — President-elect Donald Trump on Monday promised massive hikes in tariffs on goods coming from Mexico, Canada and China starting on the first day of his administration, a policy that could sharply increase costs for American businesses and consumers.The move, Trump said, will be in retaliation for illegal immigration and “crime and drugs” coming across the border.“On January 20th, as one of my many first Executive Orders, I will sign all necessary documents to charge Mexico and Canada a 25% Tariff on ALL products coming into the United States, and its ridiculous Open Borders,” Trump posted on his Truth Social platform. “This Tariff will remain in effect until such time as Drugs, in particular Fentanyl, and all Illegal Aliens stop this Invasion of our...

Town council in Canada at a standstill over refusal to take King's oath
TORONTO — A town council in Canada is at a standstill after its newly elected members refused to pledge allegiance to King Charles III as required in the swearing-in ceremony.Stephen Johnson, the mayor-elect of Dawson City in Yukon Territory, and the new council were elected last month. They were to be sworn early this month but that process stalled after they refused to take the oath.Johnson says the refusal is in solidarity with an indigenous council member who has raised concerns about the Crown’s history with Canada’s indigenous people.Under Yukon law, a newly elected official must take the oath within 40 days of their election or else their win "shall be considered null".This means Johnson and the rest of council have until 9 December to take the Oath of Allegiance, in...
