Domani: Il “blocco navale” e lo scoglio del diritto, le lezioni che il governo non impara

Le norme sul “blocco navale” e sul trasferimento in Paesi terzi dei migranti a bordo dell’imbarcazione colpita dal blocco, contenute nel nuovo disegno di legge in materia di immigrazione, sollevano dubbi di legittimità con riguardo sia al diritto internazionale sia al diritto Ue

Trump wants his face on the $250 bill: the prototype is already ready at the Treasury.

First, there was the idea of building a giant arch 76 meters tall to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, then the disappointment of the ballroom at the White House, which will not receive any federal funding. Now Donald Trump is also considering dedicating a $250 bill. As revealed by the Washington Post, the US administration is putting pressure on the United States Mint to design the new currency with the tycoon’s portrait at the center. However, by law, only deceased people can appear on currency.

According to internal sources of the WP, in recent months the White House has increased pressure on the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, the agency responsible for creating new currency. The initiative promoted by two high-ranking Treasury officials, Treasury Secretary Brandon Breach and Advisor Mike Brown, however, has encountered internal resistance for legal and procedural reasons, even though it has overcome the technical hurdle that Trump is still alive, any new issuance requires congressional approval. The president, it is reported, is determined to get what he wants, to the point that the director of the office responsible for printing, Patricia Solimene, was reassigned from the end of last month after reporting the regulatory obstacles and the time required for the eventual creation of the new bill.

The project includes the preparation of prototypes and graphic drafts with Trump’s face at the center of the bill, accompanied by symbolic elements such as the colors of the American flag and references to the anniversary of the founding of the United States. The graphic work was also carried out by British painter Iain Alexander, who, according to the WP, limited himself to approving modifications to the original project, including the inclusion of some details such as the logo celebrating July 4th. Alexander stated that Trump loves to call him “his favorite British artist.” In any case, the law that prohibits this practice remains in place: it has been 150 years since the last time a living person was imprinted on currency in the history of the United States. This was a Treasury official who appeared on the five cents, certainly not the level Trump is aiming for, rather drawing inspiration from figures of the caliber of George Washington (on the $1 bill), Thomas Jefferson (2 dollars) or Abraham Lincoln (5 dollars).

The practice was banned in 1866 but a year ago, on the occasion of the 250th anniversary of the country's birth, a proposal to Congress brought it back into vogue. In February 2025, Congressman Joe Wilson (Republican from South Carolina) presented a bill that would have required the Secretary of the Treasury to “print $250 bills from the Federal Reserve with the portrait of Donald Trump.” The bill was assigned to the Financial Services Committee of the House, but it has not yet been discussed: however, the government has informed that the Treasury is evaluating the proposal. If the “Trump bill” does not go ahead, the president still has a plan B: preliminary activities are underway to print new $100 bills with the tycoon’s signature.

Agenzia Nova: Amministrative: ad Albano Laziale vince centrodestra dopo oltre 20 anni

Trump: “The price of gasoline? Nuts.” But the cost of fuel now accounts for 4% of the income of low-income families.

The surge in gasoline prices is disproportionately affecting low-income Americans. According to a Washington Post analysis, for households earning approximately $40,000 a year or less, fuel costs for commuting absorb an average of 4% of their income. For families in the top fourth of income earners, with earnings of $100,000 or more, the same costs amount to less than 1%.

The Washington Post calculated these figures by cross-referencing monthly gasoline prices released by the American Automobile Association with income census data and federal statistics on the distances different groups typically drive for work. Those with low incomes tend to live farther away, in areas poorly or not served by public transportation, and are more likely to drive older, less fuel-efficient vehicles.

Many of them do not have the opportunity to work from home, and when prices rise, they have few tools to limit the economic impact: reducing car use effectively means limiting commutes to work, medical visits, and family gatherings. President Donald Trump downplayed the economic impact of the war on Americans, stating that his priority is to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. On Tuesday, referring to gasoline prices, he said: “They’re peanuts.” For experts, allocating 4% of income solely to gasoline can quickly derail an entire family budget.
