An article on the Defense Department website devoted to Jackie Robinson’s military career disappeared and then reappeared, joining a series of government web pages on Black figures that have vanished under the Trump administration’s efforts to purge government websites of references to DEI.
Jackie Robinson’s Legacy Vanishes, Then Reappears, on Defense Department Site
A number of military pages focused on African American achievements have been lost amid the Trump administration’s effort to scrub references to diversity and inclusion. Some return. Others don’t.

Vance came up with the idea saying Biden put white guys in the back seat for DEI hire in FAA, without specifying any concrete evidence. in reality, FAA's policy, merit base and passing exam, hasn't changed since 2013. as a common sense, something against policy can't be done in such a large org.

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out.

As the Senate takes up his nomination to OMB, get to know Russ Vought, the self-described "Christian nationalist" and Project 2025 architect who believes we're living in a "post-Constitutional time." Arguably the most dangerous nominee of all.

Can someone explain why TikTok is a bigger national security concern than a social media platform run by a South African technofeudal oligarch actively interfering in our elections and sabotaging our national interests here and abroad?
