Did Donald Trump already break a major campaign promise?
For years Trump has said over and over again that if he were to win the presidency again, he would end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours. Well, it's been 27 hours since he took office. Is the war over?

If you’re in an institution doing any kind of DEI work, the most important thing to do right now is simply call it something else. Change it to “Community Outreach” & then keep on doing the same important work. When they outlaw Community Outreach rebrand it as “Strategic Partnerships,” rinse/repeat.
