Did Biden’s Morehouse graduation speech break tension with Black voters?

Through emotive appeals and, at times, humor, President Joe Biden’s commencement address at Morehouse College on Sunday sought to inspire and celebrate the Class of 2024 while appealing to a crucial constituency needed for his reelection: Black voters. The president’s audience extended far beyond the 414 young Black male graduates, some of whom silently protested Biden over his administration’s policy on the Israel war in Gaza by sitting with their backs turned and adorning their caps and gowns with Palestinian […]

Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett’s alliterative retort to Marjorie Taylor Greene’s silly ad hominem jab — “I think your fake eyelashes are messing up what you’re reading” — has become all the rage.

Biden to address Morehouse amid tumult on US college campuses

ATLANTA (AP) — President Joe Biden is delivering the commencement address at Morehouse College on Sunday, a key opportunity for an election-year appearance before a Black audience but one that also could directly expose him to the anger that some of these and other students across the country have been expressing over his staunch support for Israel in its war against Hamas militants in Gaza. The White House hinted that Biden would reference the concerns of students and faculty at the male-only, historically Black college over […]

The CFPB was created after the 2008 financial crisis to regulate mortgages, car loans and other […]
