President Trump is making major changes in the form of tariffs on what he calls "Liberation Day." The tariffs cover a wide-range of products and are targeting several countries, including Canada, Mexico, China and the European Union. Trump says trading partners have "looted, pillaged, and raped" American industries for decades, leading to a loss of U.S. jobs and manufacturing.        The Midwest and South are being rocked by tornadoes. NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has already issued a rare "high" risk severe weather outlook for the mid-South, mid-Mississippi and lower Ohio valleys. Parts of Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Texas, and Missouri are already under a tornado watch.        Federal corruption charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams are being dropped. A federal judge issued the decision to toss the case this morning at the urging of the Department of Justice under President Trump. The Trump administration argued the corruption charges brought against Adams while Joe Biden was President were in retaliation for Adams' outspoken position against illegal immigration.        New Jersey Senator Cory Booker is recovering following a record 25-hour speech on the Senate floor. Booker started his marathon speech at seven o'clock Eastern time on Monday night in protest of the Trump Administration. The New Jersey Democrat is protesting President Trump's tariffs, steps he is making in dismantling the Department of Education, as well as several other polices, saying the nation is in crisis.        Amazon is reportedly making a bid to purchase TikTok. The New York Times reports the e-commerce giant has submitted a bid via office letter to Vice President Vance as well as commerce secretary Howard Lutnick. The deadline for China-based ByteDance to sell TikTok is Saturday or it will be banned.        The Nintendo Switch 2 is hitting shelves on June 5th. It costs 449-dollars for just the console and everything that comes with it, while customers can purchase a 500-dollar version that comes with Mario Kart World. The new device will be a bigger and faster version of the original Switch.
