Famously progressive Democrat congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez raised eyebrows by removing her pronouns from her X account. The move from Squad lawmaker, 35, seen as one of the most liberal members of Congress, was seen by some as a sign that the cultural tide is turning following Donald Trump's election win. Journalist Benjamin Ryan said records showed AOC removed her 'she/her' pronouns sometime between August 3, 2023, and May 28, 2024. Critics branded her a hypocrite, and noted that just two years ago AOC apologized to followers for not having pronouns in her Instagram bio, claiming they 'fell off' and she didn't realize. Conservatives were quick to mock AOC after it was realized that she had removed the pronouns from her account bio. Some also noted that she changed her moniker from the genderless 'Representative' to 'Congresswoman' as she removed her pronouns. Ocasio-Cortez has long been a supporter of transgender rights, including so-called gender-affirming care for children, and transgender girls competing in female sports.But the Democrats more extreme stances were blamed as a massive vote loser for Kamala Harris in the recent election.An advert showing her supporting taxpayer-funded gender reassignment surgeries for illegal migrant prisoners was played on repeat by Team Trump.Many Dems' insistence that opposing hormones for trans children or banning trans girls from joining female sports teams was transphobic further alienated centrists.Immigration and inflation were the issues that ultimately swung the election for Donald Trump, but the Dems' unpopular trans stance has now forced a reckoning within the party.

President Trump fired two Democratic commissioners from the EEOC - Charlotte Burrows and Jocelyn SamuelsThe dismissals occurred before the end of their five-year termsBoth commissioners are seeking to challenge their dismissals as potentially illegalThe EEOC is a five-member bipartisan panel created under the 1964 Civil Rights ActThe commission's terms are intentionally staggered across presidential terms to maintain independenceThe firings have left the EEOC without a quorum to conduct businessThe move is part of Trump's broader effort to eliminate DEI programs in federal governmentThe commissioners had previously opposed Trump's executive orders on DEI and transgender worker protectionsRep. Bobby Scott criticized the decision as undermining civil rights lawsThe EEOC's primary role is protecting workers from discrimination based on protected characteristics
