CareerOneStop, a federally funded career and education database designed to help women, students of color, and people with disabilities search for college scholarships, is facing a major overhaul in the Trump administration's latest crackdown on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion programs. The platform currently lists hundreds of scholarships with demographic restrictions based on race, ethnicity, gender, and LGBTQ+ status, but those identity-based funding opportunities are about to change as the administration examines federal tools that facilitate race-conscious initiatives.

Washington, D.C. was long ago dubbed Chocolate City in recognition of its significance as a place where Black residents built communities, elected leaders and created a cultural legacy that has shaped America for decades. But under President Donald Trump's second term, a new wave of battles over who controls the capital continues to rock residents and visitors alike. D.C. has long struggled with its lack of statehood, which many fear has opened the floodgates for the federal government to meddle in local affairs.

While most U.S. presidents have to wait until they're out of office or even dead to have things named after themselves, President Donald Trump is wasting no time securing his legacy.

The sickle cell community has never had the luxury of waiting for America to catch up. For generations, Black families have fought to convince doctors their pain is real, demanded research for a disease long ignored and built support systems where institutions fell short. Now, as the Trump administration proposes healthcare rollbacks that advocates say threaten insurance coverage and critical medical funding, they're preparing for yet another battle.

Former President Barack Obama recently said that he rents permanent space in Donald Trump's head. He's right. For nearly two decades, Trump has used his platform to target the nation's first Black president, routinely blurring political criticism into a deeply personal, racially charged fixation. Even years after both have left office, the attacks haven't stopped—highlighted recently by Trump sharing an AI-generated video of the Obamas near a vandalized Air Force One.
