General Motors CEO Mary Barra warns Trump’s tariffs will cost automaker up to $5B this year

President Trump announced Friday that he would double tariffs on imported steel to 50% following a pair of court rulings that left many of his signature duties in limbo. “At 25%, they can sort of get over that fence. At 50%, they can no longer get over the fence,” Trump told US Steel employees at a rally in West Mifflin, Pa. “Pittsburgh will very soon be respected around the world as the Steel City again,” Trump told the crowd.

WASHINGTON — Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested a Salvadoran gangbanger who is wanted for crimes in his home country after a wild car chase in Virginia earlier this month — which ended when the illegal migrant smashed into another vehicle and wrecked his car, The Post can reveal. Javier Enrique Canas-Escobar, 31, was apprehended in Bealeton, Va., more than 50 miles from the nation’s capital following the multi-car crash on May 22 — and is a member of the “notorious transnational” 18th Street gang already charged with illegal firearms possession in El Salvador, an ICE official said. “Caquillo,” as he’s known in the gang, veered to the opposite side of the double-yellow and collided into another driver, totaling his car, before ICE and Virginia State Police nabbed him. Canas-Escobar illegally entered the US “on an unknown date, at an unknown location and without being inspected, admitted or paroled,” according to the Department of Homeland Security.

As outdoor activities begin to ramp up ahead of summer, Connecticut officials announced Tuesday that they confirmed the first US case of the invasive longhorned tick carrying Ehrlichia chaffeensis, a bacteria capable of causing a potentially deadly disease. Known as human monocytic ehrlichiosis, or HME, the disease initially causes symptoms such as sudden high fever, chills and fatigue a few weeks after an infection, according to officials with the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station (CAES). Symptoms may progress to include symptoms such as nausea, confusion and, ultimately, kidney failure and respiratory complications. Indiana boy, 8, dies within hours of catching rare infection that spread to his brain and spine HME is usually spread by the lone star tick, which is native to the US and found throughout most of the eastern, southeastern, and south-central parts of the country, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said. However, the recent case of a tick carrying Ehrlichia chaffeensis, the bacteria behind HME, in Connecticut involved the longhorned tick, a tick species native to eastern Asia. With the rise of outdoor activities, Connecticut officials announced that they have the first confirmed US case of the invasive longhorned tick carrying Ehrlichia chaffeensis. shishiga – stock.adobe.com

The grandson of the 10th President of the United States, John Tyler, has died at 96 — 180 years after his grandfather was last in the White House. Harrison Ruffin Tyler, the son of President Tyler’s 13th child, Lyon Gardiner Tyler, died on Sunday evening at a Virginia nursing home, ending the last living link to an 18th-century presidential administration. When he was born on Nov. 9, 1928, his father was 75 years old. Harrison Ruffin Tyler, the last living grandson of President John Tyler, has died at 96. WTVR Having children into old age was a family trait, as President Tyler was 63 when Lyon was born. President Tyler would go on to have two more children before he died in 1862 age 71.

It was a marriage made in Manhattan — and it brought Wall Street to a full stop. An extravagant Indian wedding parade, or baraat, turned the Financial District into a full-blown block party on Saturday, halting traffic and causing jaws to drop faster than a stock market crash. Hundreds of people, decked in glittering sarees, sequinned lehengas and gold-embellished finery, gathered outside Cipriani Wall Street to watch the happy couple arrive and grooved to a pulsating blend of Bollywood beats and pop bangers spun by a live DJ. “We shut down Wall Street for a 400-person Baraat,” DJ AJ @djmumbai wrote alongside a clip of the epic moment. “Who would’ve ever thought?!” “Who are the bride and the groom? Must be billionaires,” one person commented. Turns out, the mystery newlyweds weren’t Bollywood royalty — but they might as well be. Thanks to a plethora of social media posts tagging them , the duo was identified as Varun Navani, CEO of enterprise AI platform Rolai, and Amanda Soll, a director of legal compliance and risk management, per their LinkedIn pages.

Elon Musk’s SpaceX-controlled town in Texas warned local residents that they might “lose the right to continue” using their property, according to a report. Starbase, formerly known as Boca Chica Village, is run by current and former SpaceX employees who will hold a hearing on June 23 to consider rezoning the 1.6 square-mile town located in the Rio Grande Valley, CNBC reported. Elon Musk speaks during a Cabinet meeting at the White House and wears a “Gulf of America” hat in April. AP In a letter to homeowners, Starbase administrator Kent Myers said a new ordinance proposes creating a “Mixed Use District” for “residential, office, retail, and small-scale service uses.” “The City is required by Texas law to notify you of the following: THE CITY OF STARBASE IS HOLDING A HEARING THAT WILL DETERMINE WHETHER YOU MAY LOSE THE RIGHT TO CONTINUE USING YOUR PROPERTY FOR ITS CURRENT USE,” Myers wrote in the letter obtained by CNBC .

He’s a real fake hack. A former New York City cabbie whose license was suspended more than a decade ago has been posing as a taxi driver — using his little yellow Toyota, The Post has learned. The city Taxi and Limousine Commission is now fighting to permanently seize George Caraballo’s compact 2013 Prius due to his repeated violations, public records show. In the last six months, Caraballo has been dinged twice by the city for posing as an official yellow medallion driver, according to a civil forfeiture lawsuit filed by the TLC on Thursday. In fact, Caraballo’s second violation came only two weeks after the hack driver pleaded guilty to the first, the Manhattan Supreme Court filing states. A TLC inspector first watched him drive his yellow hybrid hatchback to pick up a hailing passenger in Manhattan for a $26 ride in November, the suit states. NYC cabbies demand bathroom-break placards to avoid tickets when double-parked: ‘When you’ve got to go, you’ve got to go’ Unfortunately for Caraballo, his fare was dwarfed by the $1,500 violation issued to him that night for “operating for hire a vehicle that is not licensed by TLC.” Just 15 days after he copped

The long national nightmare that was Joe Biden’s presidency is over. But the long political nightmare induced by Biden’s final act in Washington continues to divide Democrats. “Original Sin,” Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson’s new tome about the former president’s ill-fated re-election campaign , has opened yet another fissure in a party full of them. President Joe Biden speaks at a Department of Defense Commander in Chief farewell ceremony, at Joint Base Myers-Henderson Hall in Fort Myer, Virginia, U.S., January 16, 2025. REUTERS The book sheds further light on the conspiracy to pull the wool over voters’ eyes and saddle them with a half-functioning executive. In the process, it indicts every major administration official who served under Biden by revealing that the president’s decline has been in progress since his 2020 campaign. And that while they all but compared him to Superman, outsiders recognized his senility on sight. Dems’ suicidal groupthink, Israel haters’ anti-aid insanity and other commentary Some Democrats are rightly outraged by their peers’ dishonesty — and ready to use it to their political advantage. Antonio Villaraigosa, former Los Angeles mayor and current California gubernatorial candidate, has already turned his fire on two Biden alums: Xavier Becerra, who

We are going to see strong to severe thunderstorms today over a wide area from Georgia to Maryland but we see the highest risk for issues from severe thunderstorms, flash flooding, and tornado risk centered on Virginia & North Carolina. A "slight risk" or a 15 percent chance is being indicated by the Storm Prediction Center for Friday into Saturday morning. Severe weather risk will continue Saturday and the Storm Prediction Center indicates a marginal risk for isolated severe thunderstorms centered again over Maryland, Virginia and North Carolina. Tornado risk is also elevatedin much of Virginia and North Carolain with a 2 to 5 percent chance.

There’s no doubt that bloated government bureaucracies need pruning—like an overgrown forest choking off light and life beneath. Universities, too, have often lost their way, nurturing ideological extremes and tolerating open defiance of civil norms. Harvard and other elite institutions have enabled left-wing extremism, including support for Hamas and a disturbing rise in antisemitism. Free speech has suffered, and accountability has waned. These institutions must be held to U.S. laws and ethical standards.

If the British coined the term “too clever by half,” Vice President JD Vance might own the political update of “too smart by 99%.” And Donald Trump might wonder at what point he asks his veep: please stop helping — at least when it comes to Trump’s greatest legacy and biggest asset, the Supreme Court . Vance recently offered his own take on the “role” of that body, in particular Chief Justice John Roberts’ “profoundly wrong sentiment” that the judiciary exists to “check the excesses of the executive.” The vice president finger-wagged that this was “one-half” of the job; the “other half” was to stop a “small but substantial number” of courts from telling “the American people they’re not allowed to have what they voted for,” namely “immigration enforcement.” Also, to be “extremely deferential” to the “political judgment” made by “the people’s elected president of the United States.” Vance did at least preface his comments with a warning that they may prove “inflammatory” — before inflaming away. Logical fallacies Students of law — or of, well, grade school — no doubt quickly picked up on the first problem. The foundation of the U.S. system is the constitutional separation of powers,

City Council lefties just proved again that they care a lot more about protecting law-breakers than the safety of law-abiding New Yorkers. Every. Single. Time. The proof? How they used a budget hearing to assail NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch for deciding to issue criminal summonses to law-breaking e-bike riders , instead of mere traffic-court tickets, to discourage reckless road behavior. Their gripe? A lot of e-bike riders are delivery drivers for food apps, and a lot of delivery drivers are illegal immigrants — who might get deported if slapped with a criminal summons. Ergo, the progressives insist, the NYPD should give up on any kind of meaningful consequences for every e-biker caught blasting through a red light, barreling down a sidewalk or otherwise putting other New Yorkers at risk. 2 NYPD cops paralyzed in line-of-duty crashes promoted to second-grade detectives: ‘I wasn’t going to give up’ Yes, really . Queens Councilwoman Tiffany Cabán insisted cops will go out of their way to target minorities, offering this word-salad: “A person who is more likely to be a person of color may end up in deportation proceedings. It’s not just right.” No, what’s “not right” is pretending that basic public-safety enforcement is
