Tanya Lewis, assistant editor at Scientific American, discusses the new tax the Trump administration recently placed on imported solar panels. She weighs in on what the decision means for the U.S. economy and for the consumer. Some are deriding the tariff as a "job killer" and others are saying the move, meant to protect U.S. manufacturers, may not be as bad as some think. Lewis talks about Trump's first year in office and the impact his administration has had on science. Since taking office, Trump has pulled out of the Paris Climate Agreement and scaled back national monuments.

Al Sharpton to lead pro-DEI march through Wall Street
The Rev. Al Sharpton is set to lead a protest march on Wall Street to urge corporate America to resist the Trump administration’s campaign to roll back diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives. The New York civil rights leader will join clergy, labor and community leaders Thursday in a demonstration through Manhattan’s Financial District that’s timed with the anniversary of the Civil Rights-era March on Washington in 1963. Sharpton called DEI the “civil rights fight of our generation." He and other Black leaders have called for boycotting American retailers that scaled backed policies and programs aimed at bolstering diversity and reducing discrimination in their ranks.
