Black unemployment is rising—critics say Trump’s ‘Black jobs’ promise was a lie

While campaigning for his return to the White House during the 2024 election, Donald Trump warned Black voters that undocumented immigrants were taking their so-called “Black jobs.” “They’re taking Black jobs now, and it could be 18, it could be 19, and even 20 million people.

The remark was quickly slammed by advocates and Democrats as both false and racially divisive. Trump […]

Democrats prevent Texas House from moving forward with Trump-backed congressional map

Texas Democrats on Monday prevented their state’s House of Representatives from moving forward, at least for now, with a redrawn congressional map sought by President Donald Trump to shore up Republicans’ 2026 midterm prospects as his political standing falters.

Saquon Barkley ‘shocked’ to hear Trump mention him as part of president’s youth fitness council, clarifies he’s not joining

On July 31, President Donald Trump—through an executive order—reinstated the national fitness test, which anyone who attended public schools in the United States (or in Department of Defense schools for kids of military parents overseas) from 1956 until 2013 is familiar with.
