Blinken begins Africa tour in Cape Verde, touting the US as a key security and economic partner

ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken began a tour of four African countries on Monday, meeting with the leaders of Cape Verde and Ivory Coast and touting America as the continent’s key economic and security ally at times of regional and international crises. Blinken is visiting Nigeria and Angola next. The tour — which comes as deadly crises and rampant coups threaten the continent’s stability — focuses on trade, security, and democracy promotion. In Cape Verde’s capital, Praia, he met […]

House Dems blast Republicans for pushing ‘anti-abortion agenda’ with new pro-life bills

House Democrats are slamming House Republicans for passing anti-abortion bills that they say are in line with an agenda to ban abortions nationwide. U.S. Rep. Shontel Brown, D-Ohio, told theGrio, “Republicans are dismissive of the people’s voices and continue to try to operate in a state of deception by putting forward these initiatives to fund these so-called pregnancy crisis centers.” The U.S. Capitol building is shown in Washington, D.C.

Biden isn’t on the New Hampshire ballot after prioritizing Black voters

As New Hampshire residents prepare to vote in Tuesday’s primary election, some may wonder why President Joe Biden’s name will not be on the ballot. The absence of the Biden-Harris ticket is a result of a standoff between the Democratic National Committee and New Hampshire officials after the national party moved to designate South Carolina as the first primary state for the Democratic presidential contest.  New Hampshire previously held the first-in-the-nation primary for over a century, even solidifying its status […]

Plagiarism probe finds some problems with former Harvard president Claudine Gay’s work

BOSTON (AP) — Harvard University has shed fresh light on the ongoing investigation into plagiarism accusations against former president Claudine Gay, including that an independent body recommended a broader review after substantiating some of the complaints. In a letter Friday to a congressional committee, Harvard said it learned of the plagiarism allegations against its first Black female president on Oct. 24 from a New York Post reporter. The school reached out to several authors whom Gay is accused of plagiarizing […]

Republican governors are fine with letting poor children starve

Editor’s note: The following article is an op-ed, and the views expressed are the author’s own. Read more opinions on theGrio. Once again, the Republican Party is showing that they really don’t care about children. For all their talk about family values — empty and self-righteous talk at that — red states only care about children as pawns in their cruel expression of power. Fifteen states, all led by Republican governors, have rejected federal money for a summer lunch program. […]

Requiem for a Loser: In loving memory of Ron DeSantis

On Sunday morning, hours after getting sonned by a South Carolina fourth-grade teacher, Florida’s charmless, height-challenged governor folded up his far-fetched dream of becoming America’s commander-in-chief and licked the unaugmented boots of his bitter rival.  Ron DeSantis has aborted his presidential campaign and endorsed Donald Trump. While the whining, anti-woke, autocratic autobot tried to position himself as a leader who was sent by God to govern his chosen people (Caucasian America), the GOP’s base saw a munchkin masquerading as a […]

DeSantis still seen as ‘danger’ to Black people and democracy after ending 2024 campaign

After Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced the end of his 2024 presidential campaign on Sunday, Black Floridians are slamming the state’s chief executive, who they say built his White House run on punching down Black and other marginalized communities across the state through policy and legislation.  “Governor DeSantis used his climb to his presidential campaign on the backs of Blacks, on the backs of the LGBTQ community, on the backs of immigrants,” said Shevrin Jones, a Florida state senator representing […]

Endorsement of Trump makes Tim Scott a contender to become Republican vice presidential nominee 

Editor’s note: The following article is an op-ed, and the views expressed are the author’s own. Read more opinions on theGrio. Tim Scott of South Carolina, the only Black Republican in the U.S. Senate, is a realist. He knows Donald Trump is virtually certain to be the Republican presidential nominee this year. So endorsing the former president — as Scott did Friday — is politically advantageous and makes Scott a contender to become Trump’s vice presidential running mate. The withdrawal […]

Keeping the faith in a presidential election: Does it only take a song and dance to get the Black vote?

“Notes on faith” is theGrio’s inspirational, interdenominational series featuring Black thought leaders across faiths. Sometimes, all it takes is for our political leaders to sing like us, play an instrument like us, eat like us, or do anything even mildly referencing our culture, and they get our vote — and a free pass to the cookout. At least, that’s what seems to be the standard when politicians visit our faith communities at pivotal times to engage with our “Black church” culture. Hear […]
