Trump Proposes No Tax for Earners Below $150,000

President Donald Trump is considering a new tax policy where individuals earning less than $150,000 annually might not have to pay taxes, according to U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. This proposal is part of broader discussions on fiscal strategy as the 2017 tax cuts face expiration. The policy aims to shift taxation burdens away from internal revenue to external sources, like a 'membership fee' from other countries trading with the U.S.

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has recently directed its staff to shred and burn classified and personnel documents, following an announcement by Senator Marco Rubio about the cancellation of 83% of its contracts.

This action has raised concerns about potential cover-ups of mismanagement or corruption, especially as legal actions are underway to potentially intervene in the destruction of records. Critics argue this could be an attempt to erase evidence of wasteful spending, while routine destruction of classified materials is also part of established procedures.

Major Overhaul: USAID Programs Slashed by 83% Under Rubio

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has announced the cancellation of approximately 83% of USAID's programs following a six-week review, affecting 5,200 contracts valued at tens of billions of dollars. Rubio claims these programs did not serve U.S. interests and some even caused harm. The remaining programs will be managed under the State Department for greater efficiency. This move is part of the Trump administration's strategy to cut government spending and focus on national interests.

Egg Prices Plunge

Egg prices in the United States have recently decreased by 11%, now lower than when Trump took office. This follows a period of high prices due to supply chain issues, seasonal demand, and avian flu outbreaks. The price drop is attributed to an improved supply, likely from new laying hens replacing those lost to disease, and a decrease in demand. Discussions around this topic include political attributions, with some crediting Trump for the decrease, while others emphasize the natural market recovery after disruptions.

"In alignment with this directive, the Biden administration apparently spent trillions in DEI-related initiatives in a manner and at a speed that has shrouded public awareness of the financial burden."
