This is shameful. The Navajo Code Talkers were Marines and heroes who helped this country secure victory in WWII. We owe them a debt that can never be repaid. Trump can’t erase their history just because he feels like it. www.axios.com/local/salt-l...
Navajo Code Talkers get "DEI" label as military info disappears under Trump order
Also vanishing: The Civil War regiment from "Glory," women pilots from WWII and a Medal of Honor winner.

Removing histories that highlight the contributions of female servicemembers & minority veterans is profoundly insulting to our military. Joined @duckworth.senate.gov & our fellow veterans in condemning Trump’s haphazard whitewashing of U.S. military history.

Another great American military hero erased from our military websites.

Trump’s pointless, counterproductive culture war is hurting our military and denigrating the service of our Veterans.

Shame on him. taskandpurpose.com/news/soldier...
Medal of Honor recipient depicted in movie 'Glory' erased from Pentagon website
Denzel Washington reenacted the heroics of Sgt. William Carney in the movie "Glory." The Pentagon removed a story about him for DEI reasons.

Trump once called WWII Veteran Medgar Evers a "great American hero"—and how does he thank this hero for his service? By erasing his section from the Arlington National Cemetery website.   Hypocrisy at its worst.
Mississippi Today: Trump once hailed WWII vet Medgar Evers as a ‘great American hero.’ Now the U.S. Army has erased him from the Arlington National Cemetery website

Trump erased a DoD webpage on Jackie Robinson—the great American hero who challenged racial segregation in our military while serving as a second lieutenant in the Army before breaking MLB's color barrier.   That's no way to honor a brave American Veteran.

Another betrayal: Trump erased the legacy of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion—the only all-Black, all-female Women's Army Corps unit to serve overseas during WWII.

Shame on Trump for burying their story. Women have always and will always answer the call to serve.

Trump got rid of articles on Army and DoD websites about the Navajo Code Talkers—400 Marines whose unbreakable code helped save thousands of lives and led us to victory in WWII.   We wouldn’t have won WWII without them—and Trump wants to bury their stories. Despicable.

If you visit the Arlington National Cemetery website, you’ll notice the Notable Graves of Black, Hispanic and women servicemembers are gone—erasing the memory of those brave enough to actually serve.   That’s no way to thank these heroes for their service, Donald.
Screenshot of Task and Purpose article showing how links to the “Notable Graves” of Black, Hispanic and female servicemembers have been removed from Arlington National Cemetery’s website.

In yet another complete betrayal, Cadet Bone Spurs is removing the stories of great American heroes from our military websites.

Their service deserves to be celebrated, not erased.

Donald Trump must #RestoreAllWhoServed.

These are the brave heroes he's ashamed of 🧵

Four years ago, a horrific act of violence took the lives of eight people—including six Asian American women—in the Atlanta spa shootings.   No one should live in fear of being targeted because of who they are.   Hate has no place here.

I voted against more chaos. I voted against more cuts. I voted against giving a wannabe king and an unelected billionaire even more power to hurt middle-class Americans. I serve Illinoisans. Republicans made it clear they serve Donald Trump.
Tammy Duckworth@duckworth.senate.govMar 14(source)
BREAKING: I just offered an amendment on the floor to give Veterans fired in the Trump-Musk layoffs their jobs back. Every single Republican blocked it. Shame on them for betraying our heroes.
Tammy Duckworth@duckworth.senate.govMar 14(source)
I refuse to vote for Republicans’ slush fund bill that grants Trump and Elon Musk permission to continue rigging our government and our economy against the middle class. It would greenlight even more chaos and more cuts to critical programs. Hell no, I cannot support that.
Tammy Duckworth@duckworth.senate.govMar 12(source)
By gutting the Education Department, Trump is once again hurting the same middle-class families he promised to protect. They are throwing our kids and teachers under the bus to fund tax cuts for billionaires. As a mother of two girls, I am disgusted and mad as hell. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/11/u...
Education Department Fires 1,300 Workers, Gutting Its Staff
The layoffs mean that the department will now have a work force of about half the size it did when President Trump took office.

Even Trump admits that his pointless trade wars could drive our economy into a recession. He'd rather inflict pain on middle-class Americans than swallow his pride and reverse this chaos. edition.cnn.com/2025/03/10/i...
