(AURN News) — The Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) has forcefully rejected President Donald Trump's executive order targeting Smithsonian programs, characterizing it as an attempt to "whitewash" American history. CBC Chair Rep. Yvette D. Clarke (NY-09) and caucus members issued a statement responding to Trump's order that restricts funding for Smithsonian programs the administration claims promote "divisive narratives" and "improper ideology." "There is nothing divisive or improper about telling the truth. We detest this administration's dedication to whitewashing our nation's history," the CBC statement said. "Donald Trump's idea that the National Museum of African American History and Culture is guilty of distorting our nation's history or painting our 'founding principles' in a 'negative light' is patently ridiculous." In his executive order, Trump claimed the museum had characterized concepts including "hard work," "individualism," and "the nuclear family" as aspects of "white culture." He wrote that museums should be places "to learn -- not to be subjected to ideological indoctrination or divisive narratives that distort our shared history." The CBC's statement also emphasized the importance of historical accuracy. "Let's be clear, Black history is American history," the caucus wrote. "Any rhetoric that opposes this notion is not only factually incorrect but blatantly racist. We will not stand for anything aside from the truth." Learn more about your ad choices.

The 36 million who watched President Donald Trump's address to Congress also watched as Congressional Black Caucus member, Rep. Al Green, shook his cane and shouted at the president. When he refused to desist, Speaker Mike Johnson ordered him removed from the chamber. Two days later, in a bipartisan vote, the House censured Green. The Congressional Black Caucus stood in firm support of Green's actions and, in their own move to disrupt, Congressional Black Caucus members sang “We Shall Overcome,” an anthem of the Civil Rights Movement, as Johnson read the censure on the House floor. When they refused to...Article Link

The Congressional Black Caucus Foundation (CBCF) has unveiled a new executive order tracker, a powerful tool designed to help Black communities stay informed and engaged as policy shifts under the Trump administration. With 36 executive orders issued in just one week, many rolling back protections in education, health care, housing, economic opportunity, and criminal justice, the tracker provides real-time updates and analysis on how these policies could affect Black Americans. Dr. Jonathan Cox of CBCF calls the tracker a lifeline, translating complex legal language into clear, actionable knowledge for activists, researchers, and policymakers. The platform also tracks the responses of Congressional Black Caucus members, ensuring transparency and accountability. As executive orders continue to reshape policies without congressional approval, CBCF urges Black communities to stay informed and take action. The question now is, will this tracker help mobilize Black Americans to push back against harmful policies? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Do some of Trump's recent executive orders sound familiar? They might, because Alicia, Michael and Symone have probably talked about them when they discussed Project 2025. The new chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, Congresswoman Yvette Clarke, discusses how many of Trump's recent actions in office sound very similar to items that can be read in the Project 2025: Mandate for Leadership. Plus, Stewart Rhodes' ex-wife, Tasha Adams, talks about her husband, his organization the Oath Keepers, and the new MSNBC film, "King of the Apocalypse."

Survival, friendship, acceptance, and love are themes that thread this episode together. Angela Rye, political strategist, culture architect, entrepreneur and Dr. Johns' twin, joins the class to process what Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's life and legacy have to teach us in this moment: the importance of engaging in rituals that soothe and restore you, including building with friends who challenge you.  The two Capitol Hill veterans discuss lessons they learned, including the critical role of the Congressional Black Caucus and building IMPACT to increase political, civic engagement, and economic empowerment among young professionals.  The friends and political strategists debate if there are limits to liberal progressivism, how we ensure the safety of every member of our beautifully diverse community, and how we will measure success toward collective freedom and liberation. #MLK: But, If Not https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-kgkeuNOB4 Native Land Pod: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/native-land-pod/id1724078118Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/teach-the-babies-w-dr-david-j-johns--6173854/support.

The Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) just swore in its new members for the 119th session of Congress. Governor Wes Moore, only the third African American elected U.S. governor, ran down why this session is the most historic. "This is a history-making CBC because we have a record 62 members of the Congressional Black Caucus that we are celebrating today. It's a history-making CBC because this CBC represents more states than ever before in our country's history. We don't just have the largest representation of Black women in CBC's history, but also for the first time, we have two Black women in the United States Senate representing the CBC." Those two new women are Lisa Blunt Rochester, elected as Delaware's first female Black senator, and, in Maryland, Angela Alsobrooks. The CBC started in 1971 with just 13 founding members.

Nevada Congressman Steven Horsford is passing the torch as the chair of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC), making way for New York Congresswoman Yvette Clarke to lead during the 119th Congress. Under his leadership, the CBC championed justice and equity during pivotal national moments. Clarke now steps in as the caucus prepares for its largest membership in history, with 62 members in the House and Senate. Horsford, reelected to represent Nevada's 4th congressional district, called Clarke a leader with "immense capabilities" ready to confront challenges that impact Black communities across the nation. Clarke's tenure will focus on combating civil rights erosion and ensuring economic, health care, and educational opportunities for Black Americans. This historic transition marks a significant moment for the CBC as it remains at the forefront of shaping policy to uplift marginalized communities. Learn more about your ad choices.

As the Trump team's plans fall into place for mass detention of millions of undocumented immigrants—perhaps even naturalized citizens—and establishment of a concentration camp system, invocation of the Insurrection Act to mobilize the army for the round-ups has been broached. Sending National Guard troops from red states into blue states to carry out round-ups and put down protests—over the objections of governors who have refused to cooperate—could portend civil war. And despite the absurd fiction that Trump is an isolationist peacenik, the latest ominous appointment to his cabinet is Islamophobe GWOT ultra-hawk Sebastian Gorka as senior director for counterterrorism. There is still time to invoke the 14th Amendment to bar Trump from the presidency—just as Brazil's Jair Bolsonaro, indicted for leading a Trump-style attempted auto-golpe in 2022, has been barred from office. And just as the Congressional Black Caucus sought to bar Dubya Bush from office over considerably lesser matters on Jan. 6, 2001. Finally, while it is widely dismissed as a conspiracy theory, growing voices of dissent claim evidence that the election was hacked in favor of Trump, in a Kremlin-instigated campaign that also included widespread bomb threats on polling places—for which there has been at least one indictment. Legal advocacy groups had been warning for months of an effort by the Trump team to hack the vote—in spite of all the precautions taken to isolate voting machines from the internet. In Episode 253 of the CounterVortex podcast, Bill Weinberg continues to make the case for mass pressure to demand nullification of the election. A mass movement on the scale of that seen in the Republic of Georgia since a disputed election consolidated the rule of an authoritarian Russian-backed party last month is urgently mandated in the United States. There is a sense of deja vu to this: at this time of year eight years ago, as Trump prepared to take office, a massive and sustained protest campaign brought down the corrupt president of South Korea. This time around, there has been even less protest in response to Trump's victory. The current quietism as the Trump team moves to establish a dictatorship—and a potentially pre-genocidal situation—is unacceptable.

As a Third Generation HBCU graduate, a Third Generation Masters Degree Holder and someone who attends the Congressional Black Caucus every year, I KNOW THE BLACK ELITE. The Black Elite often are the "Gate Keepers" of the Political commentary of the Black community. The Black Elite, who are comprised of Black college graduates, professionals, journalist, political commentators, entertainers, content creators and people of influence. They may mean well, however they often adopt a very privileged and superior mindset that they are "better" than the rest of the Black community. Because the Black Elite is often academically educated they can think they "know best for black people" or that they're the only ones who can formulate. They'll gaslight, shame, guilt trip and fear monger any Black person that has a differing view or goes against the group think. Many of the Black elite are still surrogates and affiliates of the Democratic Party, meaning they possess and maneuver with a very biased agenda and perspective. Leadership should always be challenged regardless of the Political Party. The Black Elite has adopted the same mindset of the "White Moderate" that Dr.King warned about, they have a habit of telling Black people "this isn't the time" and "don't rock the boat". Compliancy will never bring change.

On this episode of See How They Run, a wide-ranging conversation with Christina Greer, Steve Phillips, and Adolph Reed Jr.If there's one thing everyone knows about American politics, it's that there is no way for a Democrat to win the presidency without Black voters. That's one of the reasons why, as Joe Biden fights desperately to stay in the 2024 election, he's made an aggressive effort to shore up Black support. In recent days, Biden has spoken at Black churches, given interviews to Black radio hosts, and leaned on the powerful Congressional Black Caucus to help bolster his political defenses.But there are signs that Black voters may not be ready to turn out for Biden as fervently as he needs them to. in the past few months, polls have shown Black support for Biden slipping to levels Democrats have not seen in generations. So can Biden overcome doubts about his fitness, reverse these trends, and hold the White House? Should we even believe the polls? And are we in the middle of a historic shift in the relationship between Black voters and the Democratic Party?To discuss all of this, D.D. Guttenplan is joined by a powerhouse trio of guests: Christina Greer, Associate Professor of Political Science at Fordham University; Steve Phillips, political strategist, Nation contributor, and author most recently of How We Win the Civil War: Securing a Multiracial Democracy and Ending White Supremacy for Good; and Adolph Reed Jr., Nation columnist and professor emeritus of political science at the University of Pennsylvania.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
