is asking 180 employees to come back just days after letting them go. the latest snafu that's calling into question just what elon musk and his doge team are up to. and could the former police officer who killed george floyd receive a presidential pardon? at least one conservative commentator thinks so. minnesota's top law enforcement official calls the idea blatant disrespect. we're following these major developing stories and many more, all coming in right here to cnn news central new details now, as the battle between the u.s. >> and its top trade partners, ping pong back and forth as ping pong do ping pong balls. we're learning canada, hitting back with even more retaliatory measures. the ontario premier saying he's going to add a 25% tariff on electricity to the more than 1 million homes and businesses in minnesota, michigan and new york as soon as

next week. the announcement is coming after a week of chaos and confusion as president trump waffles between implementing his sweeping tariff policy and reversing it. today, trump said he will hit the pause button for about a month on tariffs for some products from mexico. just a day after he delayed auto tariffs. cnn's jeff zeleny is live for us now at the white house. jeff, what's happening? where do things stand now? it's hard to keep track. >> it is. you can say ping pong or seesaw or a yo yo pick your description. but there definitely was a reversal here today with the president suddenly saying after a phone call with mexican president claudia sheinbaum that he was going to suspend all tariffs or most of the tariffs to mexico for at least a month. and the phone call was described by both sides as respectful, and the president did not really elaborate from there. so left hanging is what about those tariffs for canada? the president has not said specifically yet, but his

commerce secretary and top economic adviser, howard lutnick, trying to calm the jittery markets, saying earlier today that that the tariffs for both countries would likely be suspended. so we shall see how that progresses as the day goes forward. but brianna, the bottom line is, as you can see, the market there continuing to react to this real whiplash here at the white house. the dollar also has been weakened in the scope of all of this. so the question is what is this trump administration's trade policy? it is very clear the president has long loved the idea of tariffs, both used as a negotiating tool and a threat, and also as a policy. but just this week alone, going forward, with them pulling back on them. so at this hour, no tariffs on mexico and canada still up in the air. but as you said that has not stopped canada from retaliating already. we're talking sirup. we're talking liquor pulled off the shelves. other real world effects. so we'll monitor it here. but as of now certainly a ping pong or

a seesaw or whichever game you would prefer to play. but it's very real in terms of those financial markets, brianna. >> it is no way to ride a horse. jeff zeleny, thank you so much for that report, boris. >> let's get some analysis now with cnn global economic affairs analyst rana foroohar. she's the global business columnist and associate editor for the financial times. rana, thank you so much for sharing part of your afternoon with us. what does all this back and forth mean for the economy? >> oh, gosh. nothing good boris. i mean, you know, the market, as we've just heard, really doesn't like the sense of uncertainty. and, you know, it's almost like the boy who cried wolf. you know, the market's come back up after they hear no tariffs for now. but what i'm hearing from money managers, from asset managers and even from individual investors is there's there's a loss of trust, you know, where is the good faith and credit of the u.s. here? are things changing in some profound way that is really going to, you know, shift, shift the way we think about our economy in

general? it would be one thing if, um, you know, trump had inherited a difficult economy, but he actually inherited a good economy. uh, you know, until a few weeks ago, the s&p was up. there was a sense that rate cuts were going to start again. consumer spending was robust. now we're seeing companies starting to trim jobs. we're seeing consumer spending being pulled back and markets are just incredibly volatile. so i am worried at this point that we could be headed into, you know, i hate to use the r word, but but a slowdown, a recession, i think the next couple of quarters are going to be very, very telling as to whether or not we're headed for the next recession. >> i do want to ask you about the retaliatory tariffs by ontario that that 25% levied on key states that receive energy imports. imports, i should say michigan, minnesota and new york. i mean, the consumers are

going to wind up paying that right? >> oh, 100%. i mean, and these are the sorts of unforeseen things that this kind of tariff war brings. you know, you begin to see how intricately connected our economy is to those of our neighbors. um, you know, this is just the beginning. we don't know what else is to come. one thing i will tell you, just in terms of what canada could do, aside from raising electrical prices, i spoke to a builder recently who said, you know, i'm slowing down production of new homes because i don't know what my lumber costs might be if tariffs are slapped on to canada eventually, because we get a lot of lumber from canada. again, it's just, you know, i could pull 12 more examples out of the hat here and tell you that many things that we have not thought about in decades could start to be happening. inflation could be going up. um, you know, spending may be going down. it's just a very, very uncertain period right now, boris. >> it also comes as there are

these dramatic cuts to the federal government. i want to get your thoughts on the news that u.s. based employers are planning to cut some 172,000 jobs. most of that is in the public sector. but i wonder what that does to the broader job market. >> well, it's a great question. um, you know, there's a big private equity firm, apollo, that recently came out with a kind of a question mark around this and said, look, there's 10 million federal jobs out there. so if enough of those are cut, could it actually trigger a recession? i personally don't think that doge alone would drive the economy into a recession, but it's just one more thing at a time when there are a lot of negative implications. you know, you just you want to steady the ship. one other thing i would say, boris, is even if trump wasn't in the white house, even if elon musk wasn't cutting back on agencies

and federal jobs, we're actually historically due for a slowdown. if you discount the v-shaped, um, downturn and upturn we saw during covid, which i would since it was a pandemic, we're six years over for a recession. so this is a time to be really steadying the ship. it's not a time to be rocking it, because it's quite possible that if we do, we could see a sharper downturn than we might have ordinarily. >> rana foroohar, thank you so much for sharing your expertise. >> thank you. >> brianna. >> president trump poised to make a big move in trying to eliminate the department of education. sources say white house officials have finalized an executive order that directs the secretary of education, linda mcmahon, to dismantle the agency. and it's just waiting for the president's signature. we should note federal law states only congress has the power to completely abolish federal agencies. with us now to discuss is andrew spahr. he's the president of the florida education association. so when

you look at this, we should note federal funding constitutes about 14% of public school budgets nationwide. that includes colleges and universities. what are your concerns? what are you hearing from your teacher members about what this could mean for students in florida? if the department of education is essentially wound down? >> well, first, brianna, thanks for having me here today. you know, we have to remember that the department of education is responsible for executing laws that protect our kids, that ensure a level playing field, and that close the opportunity gap. so here in florida, there are literally over a million kids who benefit from the programs that come through the u.s. department of education, students with special needs students who live in poverty, students in career and tech program, and of course, students at our colleges and universities who receive pell grants and other funding sources through the federal government. and so it's really important to us that the department of education stay in place and continue to be that that watchdog, if you will, for so many students who often are at risk.

>> could that authority be subsumed by some other entity when you're talking about laws protecting students with disabilities? you know, that predates the department of education. so what are your concerns there? >> look, again, we're talking about nationwide 26 million students who live in poverty benefit from the u.s. department of education. they're enforcing those education laws that ensure the individuals with individuals with disabilities in education act, you know, making sure that those students are getting the support they need. and that is a function of the department of education, and i think an important one. and so losing that function would be a problem. losing the 7.8 million students who are students with special needs, the 26 million students in poverty. i think we really want to make sure that those kids are looked out for, and we need the department of education to do that, and they've done that work really for several decades now. >> i think that's yeah, that's the unknown is what would it

mean? right. what would it mean for ieps and for those kids? there's just so many questions. this raises. speaker johnson said today, quote, the more we push control of education down to parents and local school boards and authorities, the better off we are. now, we should note, and you've seen it, there are a lot of parents who would agree with that. the pandemic really brought it into relief. what do you say to them? >> well, we all know that the best place for decisions around education to be made are with the teachers, staff and administrators working with parents in the local schools. and that is a challenge we have here in florida and a lot of other states. but the reality of it is you need some barriers, you need some guardrails. i myself am i grew up with dyslexia. i still have dyslexia. i benefited from an individual education plan and those rules that govern the supports that i needed as a student were governed by the u.s. department of education. and i think that's really important that we can't lose sight of that.

parents want the support. i, as a parent myself, want to make sure that my child is getting everything they need, and sometimes it's really hard to navigate. and having the u.s. department of education help us with that and making sure those barriers are in place is just vitally important to families and to students. >> when you don't have that central emphasis coming from someone who is predominantly in washington, and it is so dispersed. i mean, you talk about that balance people do want, they know that locally, a lot of those decisions, it's important they're made there. but when you do not have the emphasis on the education system, which i think i think we can all agree we want it to be better across the board. what does that do? >> well, look, when i was in the classroom and i'm a music teacher by trade, i was involved in our school improvement committee at our school. i was chair for that for a while, and the school i taught at was a title one school. it was a school where 98% of the students live in poverty. my wife still teaches at that school in

daytona beach. and i'm just going to say that those title one dollars that come directly down to that school really helped us make a difference. we had training for parents on how to help their kids in school be successful, because that's what every parent wants, right? we had programs and after school programs. they still have after school programs at that school to allow those students to participate in programs such as the music, arts and sports that they may not otherwise be able to. parents in poverty don't often have the resources or the time to be able to support their kids. in some of those extra curricular and co-curricular activities that parents in, in neighborhoods where there are resources or they do have resources to do so. and that's where title one becomes really important. for example, in those schools. >> andrew spahr, thank you so much. we really appreciate having you thanks for having me, brianna. and still to come, president trump giving hamas an ultimatum as the u.s. holds direct talks with the terrorist

group. plus, doge under growing pressure, republican lawmakers say they want control over elon musk's decisions. and then later is musk's role in the white house hurting tesla's bottom line? the automaker's stock has plunged since trump took office. we'll have that and much more coming up on cnn news central. >> when it comes to rooting out corruption, do the fbi's ends justify the means? >> it was humiliating. it's an embarrassment for the country. >> united states of scandal with jake tapper sunday at 9:00 on cnn. >> what a next level clean swish with the whoa of listerine. it kills 99.9% of bad breath germs for five times more cleaning power than brushing and flossing alone. get a next level clean with listerine. feel the. whoa! >> liberty. >> liberty mutual is all she talks about. since we saved hundreds by bundling our home and auto insurance. >> liberty. hey, kid. it's pronounced liberty.

while more lawmakers are expressing reservations about elon musk's efficiency team. in a new post on truth social, trump writing doge has been an incredible success. and now that we have my cabinet in place, i've instructed the secretaries and leadership to work with doge on cost cutting measures and staffing. >> notably, trump also says he now plans to convene cabinet members on a bi weekly basis to confer with elon musk about these cuts. we're covering both angles with cnn's lauren fox and cnn's katelyn polantz. first to you on capitol hill. lauren, lawmakers have suggested holding votes on these cuts, but that can also prove risky. >> yeah, that's exactly right, boris. republican lawmakers are making the point that they do want to assert themselves more and having control over the power of the purse and what they are arguing to elon musk behind closed doors is you've seen in court decision after court decision that some of what you are doing is just not holding up in court. and the way around

that is to send us a package that would allow us by a simple majority in the house and senate, to basically enshrine these cuts in law. and that argument is one that i'm told from many senators who met with elon musk yesterday, was met with a lot of openness that he did not realize that that was an option on capitol hill. now, this is risky because then you have lawmakers having to attach their names to all of these cuts. and we should note that back in 2018, trump did send them a rescissions package. and it failed in the senate because there was not enough republican support. and just to give you a sense of what they might be up against, senator lisa murkowski tweeted earlier today that she had met with some usaid officials who were from alaska, and she noted, they not only informed me of the confusing and callous handling of personnel matters by opm and doge, but they also painted an incredibly troubling picture of what the world looks like without humanitarian assistance from the

united states. so you can imagine a world in which donald trump could send up these usaid cuts in some kind of rescissions package, and there may not be enough support on capitol hill. now, the margins in the senate are slightly bigger than they were back in 2018 for republicans. but that just gives you some insight into the fact that it is not as easy for republican senators to vote for some of these cuts as maybe doge has a time of making those cuts themselves. >> yeah, that's a very important point. lauren fox, thank you. let's bring in cnn crime and justice correspondent katelyn polantz, who has new reporting on the doge actions at usaid. what are you learning? >> well, today in court, today in court, every day. there's something new in court. there is an ongoing dispute still over what to do with all that money that the state department and usaid wanted to shut off, that was going to nonprofits and contractors who were implementing foreign aid projects around the world. so the supreme court took a quick look at this and yesterday said district court, figure it out. we're not going to get involved

right now. it's right now before the judge in the district court in washington, d.c. that judge so far has said usaid, trump administration doge if you're turning things off in a blanket way, that sure seems arbitrary and capricious. so you can't do it like that. you got to turn that money back on. that's why we had that fight over the government needing to pay out $2 billion that was owed to these contractors, that went up to the supreme court. so now they're figuring out exactly what will stay in place or what will not stay in place for the administration on having to pay out these contracts at a court hearing today, the government is saying, well, we're getting some of the money paid out to the contractors. they've disbursed about $180 million since the last major hearing. on turning the money back on. but now that's far short of the $2 million dollars owed. and so we're waiting to see today if the judge does something, there.

but the groups that are suing in court, a lot of this is about how much the government is complying with court orders, how much the government is doing. that might be more than what the executive branch has allowed because of congress. these much bigger pictures about the separation of powers. >> to that, to that point, about potential overreach by the executive branch. you also have new reporting about federal watchdog hampton dellinger. he had been fired by the trump administration. there were some questions about whether trump could actually fire him. what's the result? >> yeah, this this guy hampton dellinger. he was in a position called special counsel, not robert mueller. totally different thing fighting for workers in the federal government. and his case. it is the crux of all of these court cases about who can donald trump fire in the federal government? can he fire dellinger himself from this role? that's supposed to have some independence that congress set up? and today he said he was trying to keep his job after being fired by trump.

an appeals court yesterday said, sit on the sidelines while we figure this out in court. and so dellinger today said, i'm dropping my lawsuit. i'm not going to continue pushing this because there's a possibility that i have long odds at the supreme court. they could want to expand the power of the president to. allow someone else that trump wants in that job instead of him. he would not have his job while this goes through the courts. so he's stepping aside. there's going to continue to be fights over this, over the firing of people in positions like hampton dellinger. he's also really important because what he had been working on in the last couple of weeks was getting probationary workers reinstated at agencies. that office will continue working on that. but it's a long road ahead with a lot of court in store. >> today in court with katelyn polantz. that's our new segment. >> i think we've got a new franchise. >> there we go. >> caitlin, thank you so much.

>> that's a threat coming shortly after the white house confirmed the u.s. is directly negotiating with the terrorist group. trump's special envoy to the middle east steve witkoff, telling reporters those talks have been recent. >> hamas has not been forthright with us, and it's time for them to be forthright with us. i wouldn't test president trump. it's fairly clear he was saying, i've had enough. like there's a lot of mistreatment. there's a lot of conversation among these hostages about the deprivation that they went through, about murders that they saw. and i think that the president listened to it, absorbed it, and said this. it's unacceptable. >> cnn's jeremy diamond is with us now from tel aviv. jeremy, what more do we know about these negotiations? israel, obviously not reacting well to this news. >> no. >> and really, we haven't heard

very much from the israeli government, but there is no indication that they are happy that the u.s. government is speaking directly to hamas for the first time in decades since the united states designated hamas as a foreign terrorist organization in 1997. what's interesting is that you have these kind of two dueling strategies, perhaps, or complementary, depending on how you look at it, from the trump administration. on the one hand, adam boehler the president's hostage envoy, speaking directly with hamas, seemingly trying to cut a deal to get more hostages out. and in particular, we would assume the five american hostages who still remain in gaza. and on the other hand, you have president trump once again making a very dramatic threat ultimatum to hamas, warning them that if they do not release all of the hostages immediately, then they will have all hell to pay. now, the president has made these threats in the past, and there's no indication so far that these are actually effective in terms of moving the needle with hamas. the president this time, though, made clear

that he's also going to work to arm israel even further so that they can, quote, finish the job in gaza. but of course, we know that israel fought hamas for 15 months in gaza, pummeled the gaza strip with millions of pounds of explosives. and yet, as we saw during these hostage releases, week after week, hamas very much still standing. so it's not exactly clear where we go from here. what is clear, though, is that this current ceasefire very much seems to be hanging on by a thread. >> jeremy. human rights groups are attempting to call on israel to resume allowing aid into gaza after israel paused those shipments in order to essentially put pressure on hamas over phase two of the cease fire agreement. what's the latest there yeah. >> since sunday, israel has not allowed any aid, any food, any goods to get into the gaza strip. this is a total blockade of any kind of humanitarian aid getting into gaza. and we know that it comes as hundreds of thousands of people inside the

gaza strip have become reliant on humanitarian aid. and over the last six weeks of the ceasefire, they really have begun to to rebuild. the markets have come back to life. people have had something that they could count on in terms of food coming in the door. and now, of course, a huge amount of fear about what happens when those very limited stockpiles of aid and food that are in gaza actually run down. the world food program has indicated that it could be in less than two weeks that bakeries and soup kitchens could be forced to shut down. brianna. >> all right. jeremy diamond, thank you for the report. we have cnn global affairs analyst kim dozier with us now in studio. so, kim, the u.s., in direct negotiations with hamas, how unprecedented is that. >> compared to the last trump administration that opened negotiations. >> with. >> the taliban? i can't really say. >> i'm surprised. >> this is a transactional president. >> his various national. >> security officials have. >> been saying repeatedly since

he took. >> office. >> we don't necessarily care what. >> these various. >> leaders or officials are guilty of, accused of, et cetera. we just need to do business. so opening the talks, another good thing about talking directly is that there's no middleman. and so if you are about to let netanyahu have his way with gaza again, this way you can tell the various constituents in the arab world. and back here in the states, we tried we even talked to them directly. they couldn't be negotiated with. so what can you do? >> conversely, you would think that netanyahu would be thrilled to have the backing of the united states to do as he wishes in gaza. as trump said, it's over for you, hamas. if if this happens. yet the israelis are cautious about what may come of direct talks between the u.s. and hamas. >> yeah. look, they don't like the green light that might give hamas more legitimacy or perhaps

lead to hamas members, more of them getting some sort of shelter outside of gaza to fight another day. but the fact of the matter is, um, trump has said he's rearming israel. he's not criticizing. none of his administration is criticizing this cut off of aid. i mean, hospitals are running out of the fuel that they need to run generators for surgeries. et cetera. it's getting dire in only a few days. there's no padding in terms of the supplies in gaza to keep people going. so, um, it looks mostly win win for israel. and i spoke to one regional official involved in the talks, and he says hamas is gone nowhere. so far. so it's the arab world is looking at this grimly. the trump administration rejected their idea that they proposed earlier this week for rebuilding gaza. so the gaza riviera plan is

still on tap, and now it looks like trump, after meeting with those hostage families, um, including, i believe, the family of the israeli-american edan alexander is saying we're going to let israel go back to war in gaza. >> does hamas feel the pressure? i mean, do they you see trump here trying to drive both sides to the bargaining table? barak ravid, who initially broke the story about this, was saying he saw some parallels to how you see trump treating ukraine, trying to drive it to the bargaining table. does does hamas feel that pressure? >> it depends where in the pecking order you are. if you're one of the leaders in hamas who might be able to get, um, exit to somewhere in the gulf and live on, you probably are more open to negotiation. maybe, but the rank and file of hamas know that there's no escape for them.

they're probably just willing to fight, especially since this expulsion of all the palestinians of gaza plan is still on the white house. plans for the future of the middle east. >> still on the whiteboard. all right, kim dozier, thank you so much. we appreciate it. ahead is wall street souring on elon musk. how tesla's share price and sales have dropped since he began helping the president take a chainsaw to the federal government. >> learn how to experiment with new technologies without getting played by them. listen to terms of service with me. clare duffy. >> available now on spotify or. >> wherever you get your podcasts. >> i'm sure you're wondering why your mother and i asked you here tonight. it's because it's a buffet of all you can eat butterfly shrimp and sirloin steak. >> yeah, that's the reason. >> i don't get it. >> do you have any idea how much this would cost at other restaurants? >> not really. i'm only six. >> a lot, honey, a lot, kiddo. >> oh, okay. >> yeah.

luster on wall street? tesla shares are down 40% from their peak through wednesday's close, and have now lost more than a third of their value since donald trump took office. and since musk rose to power in the new administration. cnn reporter matt egan joins us now. so, matt, tell us about this steep decline in tesla stock. well. >> boris, after the election, this stock was going straight up kind of like a spacex rocket. there was just so much excitement on wall street about what elon musk's role in helping to elect president trump would do to his business empire and tesla's bottom line. but look, all of that excitement has really vanished. tesla's down another 6% today, down 35% on the year. and as you can see on that chart, almost all of the post-election gains have now been erased. now, analysts say this is happening for a few different reasons. part of it is the fact that the overall market has pulled back. there's also

concern about some of the competition that tesla faces, especially from automakers in china. the other part, though, does appear to be specific to elon musk, right. there is a sense of surprise on wall street at just how high profile and frankly, polarizing elon musk has been in this administration. instead of a behind the scenes adviser, he's been front and center leading doge and all of the efforts to cut federal spending and to lay off federal workers. and so there is a concern that this is going to do damage to the tesla brand, right, that he's become too polarizing. and we have seen some hints of that. s&p global mobility found that at the end of last year, there was a decline in blue states for tesla in terms of their market share and repeat buyers. that's between the end of 2023 and the end of 2024. now, i should note that in red states, the number is pretty much held steady. more

recently, though, there has been a significant drop in tesla's sales in europe, where musk has endorsed hard right candidates. we saw that in january. tesla's sales plunged year over year, despite the fact that overall in europe, ev sales were significantly higher. now, tesla bulls, they still believe in elon musk, and they're still betting that ultimately this company is going to benefit from musk's close relationship to trump, particularly around regulation and his efforts to get self-driving robotaxis approved. but for now, boris, clearly this tesla boom has been slammed shut right now and the stock is really in a pretty significant slump. >> so, matt, what is all that done for the net worth of the globe's richest man? >> yeah boris it's taken a really very significant hit so far this year. elon musk's net

worth has declined by about $97 billion. that doesn't even count. today's stock drop. and this makes sense because not only is elon musk the biggest shareholder in tesla. tesla accounts for a significant chunk of his wealth. but look, obviously people are going to feel too terribly for elon musk because he is still the richest person in the world. and by a long shot. look at that. his net worth is still up. is actually more than $100 billion on the next closest person. but his lead in the rankings of the richest people in the world has gotten a bit slimmer in recent days and weeks. as we've seen tesla's share price fall further and further. >> boris. matt egan, thanks so much for breaking that down for us. still to come, calls to pardon the man convicted for the murder of george floyd are gaining support on social media, including from who? we just were talking about, elon musk. we'll discuss how george floyd's

>> rems stands for risk evaluation and mitigation strategy. >> program. >> under this program, additional regulations could possibly be placed or even introduced on the use of mifepristone. so abortion rights advocates say that they are concerned about this. but what we heard from the nominee for fda commissioner, doctor mccarry, he said that this is something that he wants to just look at, evaluate. he wants to look at the data that's collected under the rems program, looking at mifepristone. exactly. and here's what he had to say about this coalition, in his own words earlier today in the confirmation hearing. have a listen i have. >> no preconceived. >> plans on. >> mifepristone policy except to take a solid, hard look at the data and to meet with the professional career scientists who have reviewed the data at the fda, and to build an expert coalition to review the ongoing

data, which is required to be collected as a part of the rems program. the risk evaluation and mitigation strategy. it is pursuant to the rems. and so if we're going to collect data, i believe we should look at it. >> and brianna, again in response, we are hearing from some groups that argue that mifepristone is safe. they some say it shouldn't even be a rems drug. and some experts at the center for reproductive rights say that they are concerned that doctor mccarry could make it harder to access abortion pills, possibly like banning telehealth services or rescinding approval for mifepristone altogether. so these are the conversations that are happening around this. but i will say mifepristone. it's one of two medications that are part of what's called a medication abortion. it's been approved 20 years ago. that's when it was fda approved. and medication abortions account for almost two thirds, 63% of all abortions

here in the united states. so mifepristone is a medication that we know a lot about that is commonly used for medication abortion. so, brianna, i'm sure if confirmed as fda commissioner, we could hear more from doctor mccarry on this, uh, coalition that he he mentioned earlier today. brianna. >> is it safe we have data that shows when you look at the safety of mifepristone compared with other commonly prescribed drugs like penicillin and viagra, some of those other drugs have higher death rates associated with them than mifepristone. >> you see on the screen here, compared with penicillin and viagra. so, brianna, this is a drug that we do have a lot of data on. and that's why i said, again, abortion rights advocates are taking a close look, and they're keeping their ears to the speakers as they hear doctor mccarry talk about this

coalition as part of his plans. if confirmed. >> all right. waiting for the viagra coalition, i guess. jacqueline howard, thank you so much for that. we're following new developments on this so-called trade war with canada and mexico. stay with cnn. >> have i got news for you is back. let's think. >> of some new games to play. what do you got? >> yes, something. >> like a. >> what. >> if. it's keep playing the same games. yeah. let's do the same games. >> have i got news for you saturday at nine on cnn. step into a world of thoughtful consideration. everything you need. >> is within reach. >> get offers. >> on select. >> models at the invitation to lexus sales event like a relentless weed. >> moderate to severe ulcerative colitis symptoms. >> can. >> keep coming back start to break away. >> from uc with tremfya. with rapid relief. >> at four weeks.
