For the first time since 1991, the House Republican Conference is on track to have zero Black members — and the timing couldn’t be more telling.

All four Black House Republicans are on their way out. Byron Donalds and John James are leaving to run for governor in their respective states. Wesley Hunt lost his Senate primary. Burgess Owens was gerrymandered out of his own seat. Come January 2027, the only Black Republican left in Congress will be Senator Tim Scott — safely tucked away in the Senate, far from the House MAGA caucus that’s about to become even more monochromatic.

This isn’t a coincidence. It’s a snapshot. The House GOP has spent the Trump era mainstreaming the very rhetoric and policies that make Black Americans unwelcome in the party — from defending Confederate statues to gutting the Voting Rights Act. Just last month, a Supreme Court with three Trump appointees effectively nullified Section 2 of the VRA, immediately triggering a wave of racial gerrymandering across the South designed to dilute Black and Latino voting power for a generation.

Republicans will tell you this is about policy, not race. Wesley Hunt himself dismissed the significance of his party’s coming all-white House caucus, saying, “I don’t care how many Black people are here.” That tracks. Because the MAGA movement certainly doesn’t.

A party that spent four years stoking racism and xenophobia, that cheered mass deportations and dog-whistled its way through two presidential campaigns, is about to look exactly like what it is. The mirror doesn’t lie.

The crazy thing about people talking about Democrats playing identity politics. "Giving transgender surgeries to immigrants", doesn't take away from your Nana getting her pills for cheap! Your neighbors kids getting their student loans forgiven, doesn't take away from your SNAP benefits. It doesn't place tariffs on farmers for no reason. Or alienate our closest allies in Canada who provides power to the Northern Midwest and parts of the east coast and Mexico where we get the majority of our produce during seasonality and climate gaps.

All identity politics does is help someone when it is needed, and for a country that supposedly is built on Christian values it sure does seem to not like to help people when they need it.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is continuing to block Black and other minority military officers from promotions at the Department of Defense, appearing to prioritize his anti-DEI stance over merit.

Hegseth disproportionately targeted women and minority officers in a recent decision to remove nine individuals from a list of 22 selected for promotion to be one-star admirals by a board of senior Navy admirals.

His removal of minority and women officers appeared to “violate the rules governing a promotion system,” which are supposed to be “apolitical and merit-based.”
