Trump policies

The Trump administration has proposed a significant overhaul of NASA’s budget, slashing $6 billion while redirecting $1 billion toward Mars exploration—a move that aligns with SpaceX CEO Elon Musk’s long-standing ambition to reach the Red Planet. The plan, outlined in a discretionary budget posted on NASA’s website, prioritizes beating China in the space race to the Moon and landing humans on Mars, but at the cost of terminating key programs and reducing scientific research.

Accenture, a global consulting giant, has decided to abandon its long-standing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) goals, citing shifts in the U.S. political climate. In an internal memo seen by Reuters, CEO Julie Sweet announced the company would phase out its 2017 diversity targets and career development programs aimed at specific demographic groups. This move aligns with a broader trend among major corporations, including Meta, Alphabet, and Amazon, which have scaled back DEI initiatives following Donald Trump’s return to the White House in January 2025.
