06.04.2025 ⇢ Hands Off Protests Day
⌨
Nationwide "Hands Off!" protests against Trump and Musk dominated coverage throughout Sunday, with demonstrations reported from New York to Alaska. Morning reports focused on protest scale and messaging, while afternoon coverage shifted to reactions, with Musk calling them "organized astroturf."
The administration claimed success regarding tariffs, with officials stating over 50 countries had reached out for negotiations. This narrative contrasted with reports of 4,100+ factory workers being laid off and US stock futures plunging before Monday's open. The Musk-Trump relationship fractured publicly as Musk advocated for "zero tariffs" with Europe, prompting Trump advisor Navarro to label him a "car salesman."
Other developments included South Sudan visa revocations after refusing deportees, the suspension of a DOJ attorney who admitted a deportation error, and a violent meat cleaver attack against children in NYC.
