Trump's USA
American aid
All diplomats and local employees at USAID are fired
All local employees and all diplomats are being fired from the US aid agency USAID, Reuters reports, citing sources. Combined with previously announced cuts, this means that the agency is effectively being dismantled, the news agency writes.
President Donald Trump has, without evidence, accused USAID of being corrupt and led by the "radical left". Elon Musk, who is responsible for the major cuts in the US government apparatus, has called the agency a "criminal organization".

Border issue
Rubio urges diplomats: Search through visa applicants' social media
The Trump administration's Secretary of State Marco Rubio has ordered diplomats abroad to review the content of the social media accounts of some people applying for visas to the United States, The New York Times reports.
It is an attempt to prevent those suspected of criticizing the United States or Israel from entering the country, US officials told the newspaper.
This concerns both student and other types of visas.
The call came nine weeks after President Donald Trump signed an executive order to expel certain foreign nationals, including those who may have “hostile attitudes” towards the country.

Judiciary
Analysis: Signs that attacking Musk works
Liberal Judge Susan Crawford’s victory in the election to the Wisconsin Supreme Court means a liberal majority at least until 2028. This will have consequences for the entire state – and for the entire country. This is what Wisconsin Watch’s Jack Kelly writes in an analysis.
“The Wisconsin Supreme Court is at the center of state politics. It has been since 2020, when it stopped Donald Trump’s attempt to steal the presidential election.”
He believes that the victory could also have major effects on legal cases – and thus politics – that concern, among other things, climate and the environment, labor law and the abortion issue.
Politico's Elena Schneider writes that the Democrats have painted the election as a choice between "the people and Elon Musk" and that the victory may indicate that this framing is working.
In the New York Times, Reid J Epstein, Julie Bosman and Emily Cochrane write that it was a victory that the Democrats really needed.
"Defeating a candidate in a wave-master state armed with Trump's support and Musk's finances is guaranteed to cheer up a party that has been demoralized and depressed."

Tesla's future

At demonstrations outside Tesla stores this weekend, members of the far-right Proud Boys, various armed militias and at least one person dressed as Hitler are said to have participated.
– We are here to show our support for Doge, Elon Musk, Tesla, and this administration, says a far-right activist according to the newspaper.
Tesla cars have been vandalized around the world since the company's CEO Elon Musk became a close ally of Donald Trump.
