Get The Scoop On Jasmine Crockett's Response to A Federal Court Order To Reinstate Government Agency Workers

WASHINGTON —  Today, Rep. Jasmine Crockett, Democratic Vice Ranking Member of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, released the following statement after a U.S. District Court judge ordered multiple government agencies (Department of Agriculture, Department of Defense, the Department of Energy, the Department of Interior, Department of Treasury, and the Department of Veterans Affairs) to immediately re-hire federal employees and workers who were unlawfully fired by Elon Musk and DOGE.

“Today’s decision proves what we have known since day one—that these disgraceful and unjustified mass layoffs of federal employee by Elon and Trump are illegal.  If there is to be any respect for our institutions of government and constitutional separation of powers, then it is imperative that the Elon and Trump immediately act to execute the court’s decision and reinstate all the federal employees whom they unlawfully terminated.”

NY Governor Kathy Hochul Delivers Touching Remarks At Homegoing Services Of Civil Rights Icon Hazel Dukes

Well, thank you, Hazel, for putting me in this order. I thought you liked me and you put me after one of the greatest orators our nation has ever seen, our great secretary, Hillary Clinton. But I come to say this. Praise be to God and thank you for giving us Dr. Hazel Dukes.

What an extraordinary gift. Her life was a gift to all of us. And I knew her over years, but we really deepened our relationship. It was actually a time of great sorrow for me, just a couple of months after I lost my mother to ALS and I'd just become a statewide candidate. And I knew I wanted my mom to see that accomplishment.

I sat down with Hazel. Guess where? Sylvia's. We sat there and ate biscuits all day long – developing a lifelong addiction for me. And I told her about my mom. She wanted to hear her story. And I said, “You know, people don't know this, but my mom and dad started in great poverty. They lived in a trailer park. Dad worked at the steel plant with his own father. My grandpa had started as a migrant farm worker out in South Dakota because they wouldn't hire the Irish.”

Man U & Kaizer Chiefs Can Do With Scouting Course

"Introduction to International Football Scouting" course launches in South Africa

By THANDISIZWE MGUDLWA

 

CAPE TOWN; South Africa,  

 

Football is certainly the world's biggest sporting code. 

 

Big football clubs have massive global support gunning into the tens of millions of fanatics of 'The Beautiful Game', passionately following their favorite soccer clubs either through the media; social media to the Internet.

 

These football diehards see football as 'More Than Game', as one documentary/film is titled.

 

It's a game where friendships, relationships, partnerships and bonds are forged and made. 

 

That is why when some of the most loved football brands like Manchester United from England, and Kaizer Chiefs from South Africa, are unable to bring the joy and celebration the two are accustomed to provide for their supporters all over the world, serious questions abound.

New Book Reveals How Black People in LA Have Always Been Technologically Behind

 A decade after its initial release, author Clinton Galloway reintroduces Anatomy of a Hustle: Cable Comes to South Central L.A. to today’s more discerning audiences. This 354-page tome chronicles technology deprivation and a grievance with L.A. policymakers that made it all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.

The 2025 inauguration of the 47th president of the United States has Black voters feeling disillusioned and betrayed as executive orders target DE&I initiatives and propose rollbacks of existing policies. Voters are now seemingly more astute than ever. Those who don’t believe there may have been foul analytics at play have already decided for themselves who to blame. However, unresolved grievances among constituents can leave even the experts underestimating the margin of error in a tight political race, a factor now more relevant than ever.
