U.S. Representative Andy Ogles (R-TN-05) questioned on Thursday whether the American Airlines crash into the Potomac River outside Washington, D.C. could have been a consequence of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) hiring practices that critics argue require employers to choose applicants based on immutable characteristics, like gender or race, rather than qualification.

Located throughout California, the greater Washington, D.C. area, Hawaii, and New York, the network of more than a dozen nonprofits share information with Chinese law enforcement officials, and some also host unsanctioned courtrooms in the U.S., a months-long investigation discovered.

But what the global political apparatus really missed leading up to Trump’s second victory – and historic win of the popular vote – is just how popular Trump’s ideas are, far beyond his base, and far beyond how people feel about Trump himself.
