Check out @jguynn.bsky.social's piece about the Trump administration's war on #DEI. www.usatoday.com/story/money/... She refers to my research on business actions following George Floyd's murder, e.g. the US Chamber of Commerce's Equality of Opportunity Initiative, which has now been eliminated.

#EXCLUSIVE: I flew to Miami to meet with Enrique Tarrio, de-facto leader of the Proud Boys, for his first sit-down interview since being pardoned by President Trump.

He had a lot to say, including clarifying what he means by wanting “retribution.”

Texas filed another lawsuit today over collection of drivers' data for insurance purposes. This time against Allstate and its subsidiary Arity. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/13/t...

Was the 2024 election a referendum on #DEI?

On the campaign trail, Trump made reversing Biden’s “woke takeover” of the federal government a priority of his second term.

With GOP control of the White House and Congress in 2025, will he make good on promises?
