The US political climate spurs efforts to reclaim the MLK holiday
SUMMARY: Communities across the U.S. held parades, panels and service projects for the 40th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. But the current political climate left some feeling more fraught than festive when it came to how to honor the slain civil rights icon. In the year since Donald Trump’s second inauguration fell on the MLK holiday, the Republican president has gone after diversity, equity and inclusion efforts and targeted mostly Black-led cities for federal law enforcement takeovers. Speaking at King's home church in Atlanta, U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock urged the crowd to keep pushing against Trump’s policies, including sweeping immigration enforcement.

Democrat Mikie Sherrill sworn in as New Jersey's 57th governor
SUMMARY: Democrat Mikie Sherrill has been inaugurated as New Jersey's 57th governor. The four-term congresswoman and former Navy helicopter pilot is just the second woman to lead the state of nearly 9.5 million people and is the first person from a major political party to be elected to a third straight term in more than six decades, succeeding two-term Democrat Phil Murphy. She swept to victory over her Donald Trump-endorsed GOP rival in part by pinning blame for high costs on the president’s tariffs.
