President Donald Trump visited areas affected by natural disasters in California and North Carolina on Friday, suggesting that an overhaul of FEMA may be necessary to improve federal disaster relief efforts. Speaking to reporters in North Carolina, Trump criticized FEMA, calling the agency "not good" and vowing to draft an executive order to reform or dissolve FEMA altogether. Trump praised the disaster recovery models of the governors in North Carolina and Florida, emphasizing state-led responses over reliance on external aid. He added that aid should go through the government, not a middleman like FEMA. The president also listed changes he would like to see in California, stating the Golden State should implement voter ID laws and adopt less restrictive water regulations. | Target Rolls Back DEI Programs Target announced on Friday that it's reversing its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies, becoming the latest corporation to take such action following President Trump's election. In a memo sent to employees, Target announced it will discontinue its DEI goals, stop reporting to external diversity organizations, and cancel a program aimed at increasing products from black- or minority-owned businesses. Officials stated that the changes were based on years of data, insights, listening, and learning, which will align the retailer with consumer demands today and in the future. Target has joined Ford, Amazon, Walmart, and Harley-Davidson, along with other prominent companies, that have scaled back or abandoned their DEI initiatives that gained popularity following the death of George Floyd in 2020. | NFL Championship Sunday Preview The AFC and NFC championship games are on Sunday, featuring the Washington Commanders against the Philadelphia Eagles in the early game, followed by the Kansas City Chiefs hosting the Buffalo Bills. See more information on games here. The Eagles enter Sunday's game with their star quarterback Jalen Hurts nursing an injured left knee suffered in last week's playoff victory against the Los Angeles Rams. Hurts is expected to play while wearing a brace. The Bills could be without two starting defensive players against the Chiefs. Starting safety Taylor Rapp is out with an injury, and defensive back Christian Benford didn't practice on Friday after being limited the previous two days. The winners from Sunday will face each other at Super Bowl 59, which will take place on Sunday, Feb. 9, at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, home of the New Orleans Saints. | |  | | ➤ Secretary of State Marco Rubio has halted passport applications with "X" as the gender identifier, aligning with a new Trump administration executive order recognizing only male or female genders.
