Dropped Donald Trump Nominee Spat At During Live TV Interview
Ed Martin — the Jan. 6 Capitol rioters-representing lawyer who President Donald Trump on Thursday dropped as his pick for U.S. attorney for D.C. — was spat at by a passerby during a live interview with NewsMax. The far-right MAGA supporter was talking about his nomination being nixed when a woman walking her dog approached him, shouted 'you are Ed Martin,' spat at him and then walked off saying, 'You are a disgusting man.' NewsMax shared footage of the moment on social media: Trump abandoned his backing of Martin after it became clear he likely wouldn't get confirmed in the Senate. Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) said he wouldn't support Martin over his defense of Trump supporters who stormed the U.S. Capitol back in 2021. Trump said he was 'disappointed' to scuttle Martin's shot at the job but that 'we have somebody else that will be great.' Later in the day, Trump named Fox News' Jeanine Pirro as interim U.S. attorney in America's capital.

Donald Trump's tariffs hit where it hurts! Unrest & mass protests erupt in China's factories
Demonstrations are expanding throughout China as the consequences of Trump's tariffs push manufacturing industries towards collapse. (AI image) Donald Trump tariff impact: Civil disorder and unrest has broken out across China as severe tariffs imposed by US President Donald Trump are expected to severely impact the country's export-based economy, leading to business closures, wage defaults and large-scale worker demonstrations, according to a NewsMax report. Demonstrations and civil unrest are expanding throughout China as the economic consequences of Trump's tariffs push manufacturing industries towards collapse, resulting in factory shutdowns and leaving countless workers without wages. From manufacturing regions close to Shanghai extending to distant parts of Inner Mongolia, labourers have organised street protests demanding payment of dues and opposing widespread redundancies. This turmoil comes as Chinese export orders have plummetted to levels not seen since the COVID-19 lockdown period. Near Shanghai, an LED light production facility witnessed thousands of workers demonstrating over salary arrears extending back to January. Similarly, in Dao County in central China, workers protested outside a sporting goods establishment that ceased operations without settling employee compensation.

China announced on Friday its evaluation of potential trade discussions with the US regarding tariff reductions, following Washington's recent outreach. This development could potentially ease tensions in the ongoing tariff dispute between the world's largest economies. "China is making assessments as the United States has recently reached out to convey messages to China through relevant parties many times, expressing hope to engage in talks with Beijing over tariff issues," said Chinese Commerce Ministry in an official release. According to an AP report, the Commerce Ministry spokesperson emphasised that the US initiated these trade disputes unilaterally. They stated that American sincerity would be required for negotiations, along with concrete actions to address incorrect practices and remove unilateral tariffs.

They clarified that any meaningful dialogue would require the US to address its unilateral tariff measures, without which it would indicate insincerity and damage mutual trust further. The ministry firmly stated that China would not respond to inconsistent behaviour or attempts to use discussions as means of pressure or coercion. Currently, China remains the sole nation facing active US tariffs, whilst American President Donald Trump has suspended reciprocal charges against various other nations, including India and the EU. This has effectively isolated Beijing, which has maintained its responsive tariff measures against Washington.

Donald Trump's Latest Statement On Eggs Is Going Viral Because He's Bragging That Prices Are "Getting Too Low"
Donald Trump is once again going viral for another outrageous comment about the cost of eggs. If you recall, just a few months ago, he shared an article telling consumers to "shut up about egg prices" via Truth Social. Well, during a recent press conference in the Oval Office, Trump bragged to reporters, stating, "We have too many eggs," presumably meaning under his administration. Here's the clip: Trump: "You can have all the eggs you want. We have too many eggs. In fact, if anything the prices are getting too low." — Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) April 18, 2025 NewsMax / Twitter: @atrupar "By the way, prices are down. Groceries are down. Eggs, which they, you hit me so hard I'll never forget the first day, the first week in office, they were screaming at me about were doubling and tripling, I said, 'I just got here,'" Trump said, pointing to a group of reporters. "They said you won't have eggs for Easter, well, you can have all the eggs you egg prices are down 87%...but nobody talks about that," he continued. "You can have all the eggs you want, we have too many eggs. In fact, if anything, the prices are getting too low." According to USA Today, retail US egg prices continue to remain high, even though wholesale egg prices have declined. Another person reacted by posting a photo of a carton of eggs at their local grocery store with a price of $10.69.

‘Very productive': Worrell accepts lawyers sent by Florida AG to clear case backlog
The Orange-Osceola State Attorney's Office will count on the help of six prosecutors dispatched by Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier to tackle a backlog of thousands of cases, top prosecutor Monique Worrell announced Tuesday. The move comes a day after Uthmeier promised the assistance, the latest turn in an imbroglio between him and Worrell over her policy seeking to clear more than 13,000 'nonarrest' cases awaiting review by her office. Worrell blames the caseload problem, which she said spans the administrations of several previous state attorneys, on a lack of funding for her Ninth Circuit Court office, which has long been a stage for political battles waged by Republican governors scrutinizing Democratic state attorneys for what the GOP often calls 'soft on crime' policies. On Tuesday, Worrell commended Statewide Prosecutor Nick Cox, who was sent by Uthmeier for what she called a 'very productive meeting' where they discussed the mission of the new prosecutors going forward. Still, she said the help with clearing the backlog is but a 'temporary fix,' reiterating comments on Monday that she would need more funding for permanent prosecutors before she can rescind a recently adopted policy on nonarrest cases. 'Temporary and piecemeal approaches have unfortunately not solved the problem,' Worrell said in a Tuesday afternoon statement. 'Now is the time to seek permanent solutions so that we are moving as efficiently as possible to remove violent offenders from the community and deliver justice for victims. We will work with the additional prosecutors for as long as they are made available to our circuit while also continuing to advocate for long-term solutions, including more collaboration with law enforcement so that we have the probable cause necessary for prosecution.' Worrell had announced two weeks ago that she would no longer accept for review low-level cases where police and sheriff's departments have not at least obtained an arrest warrant for a suspect, as a way of controlling her office's caseload. Uthmeier was sharply critical of that approach, and Worrell responded by requesting help to whittle down the backlog, which the attorney general is now providing. Orange County Sheriff John Mina, who said the policy puts victims at risk, lauded Worrell's decision to request additional prosecutors to clear the backlog in a press conference with Uthmeier on Monday morning. Uthmeier, however, continued lobbing insults ahead of the state attorney's meeting with Cox on Tuesday in an interview with the conservative outlet News Max, where he called her a 'radical leftist, Soros prosecutor' who 'doesn't want to do her job.' During the interview, he further dismissed Worrell's concerns about a lack of funding for her office as 'just an excuse.' His office did not respond to a message seeking comment following Worrell's announcement. 'Are you gonna take our help or not?' he asked on News Max. 'If resource constraints are truly the reason why you're not doing your job, then open up the door. Let us in, we're here to help.'
