Defense Department webpage on Jackie Robinson goes down, then returns amid DEI purge

A Department of Defense webpage describing baseball and civil rights icon Jackie Robinson’s military service was restored Wednesday after it was missing earlier in the day. That development came after pages honoring a Black Medal of Honor winner and Japanese American service members were taken down — the Pentagon said that was a mistake — amid the department’s campaign to strip out content singling out the contributions by women and minority groups, which the Trump administration considers “DEI.” The page on Robinson […]

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on Wednesday responded to public calls by conservative figures for President Donald Trump to pardon Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer convicted in 2020 for the murder of George Floyd.

This Harvard-educated civil rights lawyer was laid off from the DOE—now she’s fighting back

Sheria Smith was living her professional dream before getting laid off from the U.S. Department of Education. A Harvard graduate who’d helped children as a teacher before becoming a lawyer, Smith pursued public service over fancy, high-paid corporate positions early in her career so she could give back. That clarity of purpose led her to the DOE in 2016 to accept a position as a civil rights attorney. “It was really important to me that Black students, students like me, […]

Trump to order a plan to shut down the US Education Department

 President Donald Trump plans to sign an executive order Thursday calling for the shutdown of the U.S. Education Department, according to a White House official, advancing a campaign promise to eliminate an agency that’s been a longtime target of conservatives. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity before an announcement. Trump has derided the Department of Education as wasteful and polluted by liberal ideology. However, finalizing its dismantling is likely impossible without an act of Congress, which created the department in […]

Democrats clashed over their shutdown strategy. But the party’s identity crisis runs far deeper

Democrats have been sniping at each other in public since Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer helped pass a Republican spending bill that prevented a government shutdown. But the divisions in their party hardly began there. For months, Democrats have been struggling to coalesce behind a political strategy as they confront President Donald Trump and the Republican majorities in the House and the Senate. Behind closed doors at party retreats, think tank meetings and strategy sessions, Democrats have been having tense and searching conversations about ideology, […]

In its latest move to eliminate race-conscious policy across the federal government, the Trump administration rescinded a clause in federal contracts that prohibited segregated facilities, including water fountains and restrooms.

The clause barring segregation in […]

A federal judge ruled Tuesday that the dismantling of the U.S. Agency for International Development likely violated the Constitution and blocked billionaire Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency from further cuts to the agency. U.S. District Judge Theodore Chuang in Maryland ordered the Trump administration to restore email and computer access to all employees of USAID, including those who were placed on administrative leave. The lawsuit singled out Musk as a defendant covered by the preliminary injunction. Lawyers for USAID […]

Trump’s elimination of federal employees could shrink the Black middle class

President Donald Trump’s purge of federal employees has, so far, been his most wide-ranging actions taken to transform the federal government. But as Trump and administration officials make a case for why shrinking the federal “bureaucracy” is necessary to eliminate so-called government waste, advocates, current and former federal employees, and Democratic lawmakers warn that Trump’s operation to drastically reduce the federal workforce could have long-lasting impacts to the Black middle class. The federal government is the largest employer in the […]

U.S. Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., slammed President Donald Trump after the commander in chief suggested that pardons for him and other members of the House of Representatives January 6th Select Committee that investigated Trump are not legally enforceable after saying the pardons were signed by an autopen with former President Joe Biden’s signature. “The “Pardons” that Sleepy Joe Biden gave to the Unselect Committee of Political Thugs, and many others, are hereby declared VOID, VACANT, AND OF NO FURTHER FORCE […]
