Where’s Black MAGA while Trump Wipes Black History?

/

Last summer, vying for the White House, Trump hailed himself as “the best president for the Black population.” A little more than a year later, this claim has become downright unbelievable, precisely because of what he’s done. In this video, I highlight this week’s Washington Post report on the Trump administration’s decision to remove Black […]

Last Monday, federal prosecutors in Alabama revealed that they had indicted a lawyer for allegedly making false statements under oath. Perhaps such a charge might not seem extraordinary.

This Republican Attempt to Scuttle Federal Land Plans Could Cause Great Upheaval

/

This story was originally published by Grist and is reproduced here as part of the Climate Desk collaboration.
