Biden has pardoned his son Hunter. What does that mean?

 President Joe Biden had long pledged that he would not pardon his son, Hunter, who was set to be sentenced this month for gun and tax convictions. But on Sunday, the president did it anyway. The sweeping pardon covers not only Hunter Biden’s convictions in two cases in Delaware and California, but also any other “offenses against the United States which he has committed or may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 1, 2014 through December 1, 2024.” […]

Jasmine Crockett and others explain why Biden’s pardon of son Hunter isn’t controversial

While Republicans and some Democrats are condemning President Joe Biden for his decision on Sunday to pardon his son Hunter Biden on federal charges related to gun possession and tax evasion, others like U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, are declaring, “Way to go, Joe.” Crockett, a freshman congresswoman who sits on the House Oversight Committee, praised Biden for using his executive powers to shield his son from prison and any future prosecution regarding a 10-year span when Hunter battled drug […]

Democrats still don’t agree on the seriousness of their political problem after election defeat

NEW YORK (AP) — Nearly a month after a devastating election loss that exposed cracks in the very foundation of their party, Democrats remain deeply divided over the extent of their political problem — or even if they have one. A number of Democratic leaders are downplaying the strength of Donald Trump’s victory over Vice President Kamala Harris as the inevitable result of an inflation-fueled anti-incumbent backlash that shaped elections worldwide. But others are convinced that the Democratic Party is facing an acute crisis […]

President Biden pardons his son Hunter, citing ‘miscarriage of justice’

President Joe Biden pardoned his son, Hunter, on Sunday night, sparing the younger Biden a possible prison sentence for federal felony gun and tax convictions and reversing his past promises not to use the extraordinary powers of the presidency for the benefit of his family members. The Democratic president had previously said he would not pardon his son or commute his sentence after his convictions in the two cases in Delaware and California. The move comes weeks before Hunter Biden was set to […]

Rep. Barbara Lee says this would be Shirley Chisholm’s message to Kamala Harris and Democrats today

No one has fought more in Congress to keep alive Shirley Chisholm’s legacy than U.S. Rep. Barbara Lee. The 78-year-old California lawmaker counts the late Chisholm as a mentor and friend.  Despite making history as the first Black woman elected to Congress in 1968 and the first Black American and Black woman to run for U.S. president in 1972, it took years for the “Unbought and Unbossed” congresswoman’s trailblazing career to be recognized on Capitol Hill. “When I came to […]

Trump’s first-term tariffs did little to alter the economy, but this time could be different

WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump loved to use tariffs on foreign goods during his first presidency. But their impact was barely noticeable in the overall economy, even if their aftershocks were clear in specific industries. The data show they never fully delivered on his promised factory jobs. Nor did they provoke the avalanche of inflation that critics feared. This time, though, his tariff threats might be different. The president-elect is talking about going much bigger — on a potential scale that […]

Are Democrats undermining the leadership of Hakeem Jeffries?

As Democrats piece together a fractured party following Vice President Kamala Harris’ defeat by President-elect Donald Trump, some have questioned who is left to lead the Democratic Party. MSNBC host Jen Psaki, President Joe Biden’s former White House press secretary and former White House advisor to President Barack Obama, said last week that Democrats are “in the wilderness.”“There is no clear leader of the party. Joe Biden is gonna be out of office shortly. Kamala Harris just lost the election,” […]

‘It is on and poppin’: Leaders prepare for battle against Trump administration hostile to civil rights

During his first and successful run for president in 2016, Donald Trump asked Black Americans, “What do you have to lose?” Lawyers and civil rights leaders say they stand to lose a lot in Trump’s second presidential administration. In anticipation of what Trump has already vowed to do, groups are gearing up for a fight to prevent the further erosion of civil rights under the president-elect’s incoming second administration.  “It is on and poppin’ and not in a good way,” said […]

What did Black Latinos think about those pro-Trump Latino exit polls?

When Josué Perea scrolled Instagram the night after the 2024 election, he saw a comment from a friend that stopped him in his tracks: “Latinos, I’m never going to forget that y’all voted for this guy.” The friend was African American and part of a larger community of Black voters who felt betrayed by exit poll numbers that revealed an increased number of “Latino” voters supported Donald Trump. While it wasn’t a majority (46% voted for Trump in 2024, up from […]
