Mayor Brandon Scott embraces being a ‘DEI hire,’ says today’s anti-DEI movement can be traced throughout Black history

Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott has personally felt the wrath of the political tide against so-called diversity, equity, and inclusion. In March 2024, when the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, Maryland, collapsed—killing six and disrupting the nation’s supply chain–Mayor Scott was targeted by some Republicans and conservatives online who called him a “DEI hire.” The nickname suggested that Scott, elected by Baltimore voters in 2020 and reelected in 2024, only held his position because he is Black and was not […]

Senate confirms McMahon to lead Education Department as Trump pushes to shut it down

The Senate voted Monday to confirm former wrestling executive Linda McMahon as the nation’s education chief, a role that places her atop a department that President Donald Trump has vilified and vowed to dismantle.

What to watch when Trump gives his big speech to Congress

Donald Trump loves a good spectacle, and it’s hard to top a speech to a joint session of Congress. The House chamber is packed with lawmakers, and the president’s arrival is announced in a booming voice by the sergeant-at-arms, triggering cacophonous applause. Trump’s speech on Tuesday evening isn’t technically considered a State of the Union address — that comes next year, after he’s been on the job for longer — but there’s no distinguishable difference for anyone watching at home. Almost no […]

That moment crystallized why I’m pro-English-only: we need a common language to function as a nation.On February 28, 2025, it was announced, President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order designating English as the official […]
