If it feels like you're regularly hearing about layoffs in the tech sector, you are not imagining things.

The resume site Zeti did a survey of tech layoff announcements and found almost a third of tech companies did at least two rounds of layoffs between 2023 and 2025.

Marketplace's Kimberly Adams has more.

The Senate has approved a package funding most of the Department of Homeland Security, including the Transportation Security Administration.

There is no funding for ICE or the Border Patrol.

The bill now goes to the House for a vote.

Two U.S.

senators are calling on the Commerce Department to investigate reports of heavy construction and farm equipment made in Mexico.

This comes as a Trump administration review of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada agreement is underway.

The USMCA accounts for more than $4 billion worth of cross-border trade.

It was an economic cornerstone of President Trump's first term, and it is up for renewal.

For more on this, we're joined by Lori Wallach.

She's director of the Rethink Trade Program at the American Economic Liberties Project, a nonprofit research organization.

She's been tracking negotiations.

Lori, welcome.

Thank you.

So the USMCA is up for renewal six years after it took effect.

Of course, it allowed for duty-free trade among the U.S., Canada and Mexico.

But its future is up in the air, partly because it didn't live up to its promises for the U.S.?

So negotiations have started.
