| Trump blinks on tariffs; Civil rights
|
| Top constitutional law scholars warn that a disturbing new ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court's far-right majority allows for U.S. citizens to be detained and deported to foreign prisons without due process. Trump-appointed judge in Texas blocked the Trump Administration's deportation of Venezuelan migrants. Donald Trump blinked, pausing some of his nutty global trade war tariffs after triggering a days-long, widespread crash on major markets. Some House Republicans have begun to object to Trump's massive, deficit-exploding tax cuts.

| Trump Tariff Market Meltdown; Immigration
|
| Donald Trump's trade sanctions against nearly every nation (except for Russia) triggered a stock market meltdown, sparking fears of a global recession. Trump-supporting callers try to explain the point of Trump's tariffs. Chief Justice John Roberts placed a temporary stay on a court's order to return a man that the Trump Administration admits was mistakenly deported to El Salvador. North Carolina Republican-majority state appeals court panel ruled that more than 60,000 voters should be retroactively disenfranchised, despite following all rules and laws, in last November's state's supreme court election that was narrowly won by a Democratic candidate.

Multiple court rulings blocked the Trump Adminstration's unlawful efforts to close the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and Voice of America; deport migrants to countries they are not from; and retaliatory executive orders against law firms Trump doesn't like. Voters in Louisiana overwhelmingly reject Republican-backed amendments. Elon Musk tries to buy Wisconsin's critical state supreme court election. Callers weigh in.

| DOGE Gaslighting America; Climate change
|
| PLEASE DONATE to KPFK! Donald Trump, Elon Musk and their DOGE Bros are gaslighting the nation, unlawfully canceling contracts and laying off workers, while failing to find any actual evidence of any fraud or abuse (other than their own) and lying about it to the public.

Trump EPA is trying to roll back the scientific 'endangerment finding' on climate change that underpins federal climate regulations. Plus our latest 'Green News Report.'

| Musk-Trump Backlash; Feb. 28 'Economic Blackout' Day
|
| PLEASE DONATE to KPFK! Federal employees at the U.S. Digital Service (renamed DOGE Service) resigned in protest rather than use their skills to 'jeopardize Americans' sensitive data' and 'dismantle critical public services.' Europeans reject Tesla cars over Elon Musk's support of far-right extremist political parties. Steep decline in U.S. consumer confidence. JONATHAN SIMON of Who What Why explains the grassroots, national 'Economic Blackout Day' on Friday, Feb. 28th, a day to purchase nothing in protest against Trump/Musk's gutting of federal government services.
