Trump's wake-up call: dei's demise & a new era of 'wtf' hiring

Dei's decline & the rise of 'wtf' hiring

“We ended DEI in America,” declared Donald Trump during his State of the Union address. While not entirely accurate – the administration’s “war on woke” has indeed prompted many corporations to scale back their diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives – the landscape is shifting. However, a troubling trend is emerging: a new standard for success seems to prioritize wealth, loyalty, and celebrity over qualifications. The Trump administration itself serves as a stark example.

Melania's unusual security council role

What began as a curious development has ignited a firestorm of speculation: Melania Trump, the former First Lady, will preside over a session of the United Nations Security Council on Monday.

Tennessee republicans target abortion access
