Trump bans trans people from military service
By 
To reiterate the obvious, the Trump administration eliminating “DEI” is not about questioning some dubious particular corporate practices, and God knows it has nothing to do with “merit.” It’s about re-establishing hierachies based on race, gender, and sexuality, and nothing more than that:
President Donald Trump on Monday is expected to sign four executive orders that would reshape the military, including banning transgender service members from serving in the US armed forces, gutting the military’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion programs, and reinstating with back pay service members who were discharged for refusing to get vaccinated from Covid-19, two White House officials told CNN.
The orders, which were first reported by the New York Post, come as Trump’s nominee to lead the Pentagon, Pete Hegseth, was sworn in as secretary of defense on Saturday. Hegseth has long stated he planned to implement major cultural changes to the military, including ending DEI practices and removing “woke” service members.
Moments after his arrival at the Pentagon on Monday, Hegseth told reporters that there are “more executive orders coming.”
Gisele Donnelly has more on the administration’s systematic bigotry against trans people.
Meanwhile, this is the good kind of DEI, apparently:
Buckley Carlson, a former Capitol Hill aide and the son of conservative media personality Tucker Carlson, is set to join Vice President JD Vance’s press office, sources tell ABC News.
The younger Carlson is set to serve as Vance’s deputy press secretary, sources said.
Buckley Carlson has worked as an aide on Capitol Hill since 2019, including most recently serving as deputy chief of staff to Republican Rep. Jim Banks.
An administration by, and for, rich white failsons.
