China Is So Far Ahead On Electric Cars It’s Now Afraid America Will Steal Its Trade Secrets! – The Autopian

Excerpt:
Now, though, it’s the Chinese government that’s worried about the plant. Why? According to a Financial Times report titled “China delays approval of BYD’s Mexico plant amid fears tech could leak to US,” China doesn’t want the United States to do to China what China did to everyone else:
“[D]omestic automakers require approval from China’s commerce ministry to manufacture overseas and it has yet to give approval, according to two people familiar with the matter.
Authorities fear Mexico would gain unrestricted access to BYD’s advanced technology and knowhow, they said, even possibly allowing US access to it. “The commerce ministry’s biggest concern is Mexico’s proximity to the US,” said one of the people.

Trump administration says it is working to reinstate more than 24,000 fired federal workers – NBC News
Source Link
Excerpt:
President Donald Trump’s administration says it is moving to reinstate more than 24,000 probationary workers it fired as part of its efforts to slash the size of the federal workforce, court documents filed Monday show.
Officials at 18 departments and agencies submitted signed declarations detailing their teams’ efforts to rehire the fired workers in order to comply with court orders. Last week two federal judges ordered the administration to temporarily reinstate thousands of probationary workers who were fired.
The documents are the first full accounting of how many people lost their jobs in the Trump administration’s mass firings of probationary workers, who have typically held their positions for less than two years and don’t have full civil service protections.
Elon Musk’s DOGE leadership likely violates constitution’s appointments clause, judge says – TechCrunch
Source Link
Excerpt:
Elon Musk’s role overseeing the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is likely a violation of the U.S. Constitution’s appointments clause, a federal judge wrote Tuesday.
Theodore Chuang, a judge in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland, wrote in an opinion there is more than enough evidence — mostly from statements made by Musk and Donald Trump — that shows the world’s richest man is really acting as the head of DOGE despite the government’s claim he is merely a “special advisor to the president.”
Chuang issued the opinion in a case brought against Musk and DOGE by unnamed workers at the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). The judge also wrote that the actions Musk has taken in that role, like shutting down USAID — which Musk said he threw into the “wood chipper” — are therefore likely unconstitutional, too.
“Musk has exerted actual authority at USAID that only a properly appointed Officer can exercise,” he wrote. (Officer of the United States is a legal distinction set out by the appointments clause.)

Ohio appeals court blocks state law banning gender-affirming care for kids – Axios
Source Link
Excerpt:
An Ohio appeals court partially overturned the state’s ban on gender-affirming medical care for minors.
Why it matters: The Tuesday decision delivers a win for transgender kids as the Trump administration vows to ban funding for youth gender-affirming care nationwide.
State of play: A three-judge panel on the Ohio’s 10th District Court of Appeals reversed a lower court ruling by deciding that a state law preventing transgender kids from accessing puberty blockers and gender-affirming hormone therapy for kids violates parents’ rights.
What they’re saying: “This win restores the right of trans youth in Ohio to choose vitally important health care, with the support of their families and physicians,” ACLU of Ohio legal director Freda Levenson said in a statement.
US strikes Houthi strongholds in Yemen where leaders are hiding, Yemeni sources say– www.investing.com
Source Link
Excerpt:
The U.S. hit targets across Yemen in airstrikes overnight, including Saada province, which Yemeni sources say is a long-time hideout for Iran-aligned Houthi leaders, and the Red Sea port city of Hodeidah.
Houthi-run Al Masirah TV reported more than 10 strikes on various locations, including the Al-Safra district of Saada. The area houses weapons storage and training sites, and is considered one of the group’s most important and heavily fortified military strongholds, according to Yemeni sources.
The strikes, launched on Saturday over the Houthis’ attacks against Red Sea shipping, are the biggest U.S. military operation in the Middle East since President Donald Trump took office in January.
The Iran-aligned Houthis have carried out over 100 attacks on shipping after Israel’s war with Hamas began in late 2023, saying they were acting in solidarity with Gaza’s Palestinians. The attacks have disrupted global commerce and set the U.S. military off on a costly campaign to intercept missiles.
UN Security Council discusses Israeli attack in Gaza – NHK WORLD
Source Link
Excerpt:
Members of the United Nations Security Council discussed the airstrikes that Israel carried out in Gaza on Tuesday. Many called for the ceasefire to be reestablished. However, the United States pushed back on the idea.
Health authorities in Gaza say the attacks killed at least 404 people. The Palestinian Permanent Observer to the UN, Riyad Mansour, said, “Palestinians are being killed indiscriminately, are being denied humanitarian aid indiscriminately, are being maimed and detained indiscriminately.”
Envoys from the UK, France and Russia joined Mansour in urging an immediate end to the fighting.
But the acting US Ambassador to the UN, Dorothy Shea, blamed the attacks on Hamas. She said, “It is well known that Hamas continues to use civilian infrastructure as launching pads, and the United States condemns this practice, as should others.”

Middle School Girls Were Forced to Share a Locker Room With a Boy– townhall.com

Excerpt:
A shocking report published this week claims that three female staff members at a Illinoi middle school forced young girls to change in front of a male classmate in their locker room.
On March 17, the Lake County Gazette reported that Deerfield School District 109 administrators forced the girls at Shepard Middle School to share their locker room with a so-called “transgender” student.
The staffers involved were reported as District 109 “Assistant Superintendent for Student Services” Joanna Ford, “Assistant Principal” Cathy Van Treese and “Director for Student Services” Ginger Logemann. Reportedly, the young girls complained in February about a boy using their locker room. The adults in charge escorted the girls to their locker room and “tried to force them to change in front of the boy,” the Gazette said.
Half Of US Churches Experiencing Post-Pandemic Attendance Growth – Religion Unplugged
Source Link
Excerpt:
Half of U.S. Protestant pastors say their churches are growing but some warning signs remain about their congregational future.
U.S. Protestant churches are almost evenly split between those that have grown within the past two years and those that are plateaued or declining, according to an Exponential study by Lifeway Research.
Around half of the congregations (52%) increased their worship service attendance by at least 4% in the past two years. The other 48% of churches have either remained within plus or minus 4% since 2022 (33%) or declined by at least 4% (15%).
“Clearly, the last two years of attendance growth was aided by people returning to regular attendance after being away since the start of the pandemic,” said Scott McConnell, executive director of Lifeway Research. “Most pastors wish they had returned earlier, but their attendance is a source of optimism, though future growth will need to come from brand new contacts.”

Researchers make disturbing new discovery about deadly disease that impacts pregnant women: ‘These findings offer vital insights’ – The Cool Down
Source Link
Excerpt:
Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have discovered that the Zika virus builds tiny tunnels called nanotubes in the cells of pregnant women, helping it to covertly cross the placental barrier, which normally protects the fetus from chemicals and microbes that could harm it.
The study, published in Nature Communications, also found that this strategy raises little alarm in the immune system.
“We discovered that the formation of these tiny tunnels is driven exclusively by a Zika protein called NS1,” first author Rafael T. Michita stated in a news release. “Exposure of placental cells to the NS1 protein of Zika virus triggers tunnel formation. As the tunnels develop and connect neighboring cells, a path opens for the virus to invade new cells.”
