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 […]

Like Kamala, I, too, turned Black one day. It’s time I shared my truth.

Editor’s note: The following article is an op-ed, and the views expressed are the author’s own. Read more opinions on theGrio. I’m not a fan of former President Donald Trump, so when he accepted the invitation from the National Association of Black Journalists, an organization I’m a part of, I was not enthused about his appearance. Because a duck is going to quack, Trump popped out and showed … us … exactly who he is and who he has always […]

Mississippi officials say lack time to draw majority-Black districts

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Redrawing some Mississippi legislative districts in time for this November’s election is impossible because of tight deadlines to prepare ballots, state officials say in new court papers. Attorneys for the all-Republican state Board of Election Commissioners filed arguments Wednesday in response to a July 2 ruling by three federal judges who ordered the Mississippi House and Senate to reconfigure some legislative districts. The judges said current districts dilute the power of Black voters in three parts of the […]

April is National Fair Housing Month, and as the month comes to a close, it is important that we reflect on the work that remains to ensure fair housing for all.

Marjorie Taylor Greene’s co-opting of #SayHerName is egregious, but white people do this all the time

Editor’s note: The following article is an op-ed, and the views expressed are the author’s own. Read more opinions on theGrio. They want our rhythm, but not our blues.  I say that a lot in my writing because a lot of my writing highlights the many ways in which (some) white people trip over themselves to co-opt and flat-out steal ideas, phrases, content, dances, music, and anything else Black people have. It is a founding principle of this country; it […]
