WASHINGTON, D.C. — At the official National Columbus Day Celebration in Washington, D.C. on Monday, the pomp and circumstance was in full swing.This year, though, the city itself wasn’t part of the party. A few days before, the D.C. city council voted to change Columbus Day to Indigenous Peoples' Day. The city joined more than 100 cities and a half-dozen states around the country that have chosen to honor Native Americans instead of the Italian explorer whose arrival brought conflict with indigenous people.“Columbus has a complicated history, but there is not one figure in history that does not have a complex history,” said Anita Bevacqua McBride, vice chairwoman of cultural affairs for the National Italian American Foundation.She said they don’t want to see Columbus Day disappear. Rather, they argue, there’s enough room on the calendar for both days.“I think in an era of inclusion and greater understanding of the diversity of our history, I think that’s fair,” Bevacqua McBride said. “But it doesn’t in our mind, give license, to erase what he did in terms of exploration of the new world.”Two miles away, at the National Congress of American Indians, Kevin Allis is happy to point out some of the mementos in his office.“I’m very proud of this vest. This is my grandfather’s vest and my great-grandmother made it for him,” he said, pointing to a 100-year-old vest with intricate beading, hanging framed in his office. “That’s a very sentimental piece to my family and I.”Allis said the change from Columbus Day to Indigenous Peoples' Day has been a long time coming.“We’re not trying to rewrite history,” Allis said. “We’re just trying to make people take the time to look at what real history is and understand we play an important role in that.”Competing roles in history that are still being debated over a holiday in the present. 1866

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- President Donald Trump announced Tuesday that he has commuted the 14-year prison sentence of former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich.The 63-year-old Democrat walked out of a federal prison in Colorado around 7 p.m. local time.“He’ll be able to go back home with his family after serving eight years in jail,” said Trump to reporters . "That was a tremendously powerful, ridiculous sentence in my opinion, and the opinion of many others.”Blagojevich was arrested on corruption charges in 2008 after the Justice Department alleged he ran a "pay to play" scheme when filling the Senate seat vacated by Barack Obama. In 2009, Blagojevich was impeached and removed from office.Blagojevich was then indicted by a federal grand jury on corruption charges in April 2009. He was later found guilty on one count of lying to the FBI. A mistrial was declared on 23 other charges. Blagojevich was sentenced to 14 years in prison and has been incarcerated since 2012.Blagojevich appeared on "The Celebrity Apprentice" — a television series hosted by Trump — in 2010.Trump has floated a commutation or pardon for Blagojevich in the past. In August 2019, Trump told reporters aboard Air Force 1 that he felt that Blagojevich had 1242

US Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos met with lawmakers on Tuesday, and defended the Trump Administration for proposing nearly million in cuts to Special Olympics. Devos was questioned on the subject by Rep. Mark Pocan, D-Wis., who took issue with DeVos not knowing the number of participants in Special Olympics. “It’s 272,000 kids,” Pocan said,“Let me just say that I think Special Olympics is an awesome organization, one that is well supported by the philanthropic sector as well,” DeVos said.According to 2017 figures from Special Olympics, the organization had nearly 0 million in annual revenue. The majority of its budget comes from donations from individuals and corporations, which totals million a year.DeVos defended the move as one to save the government money. “We had to make some difficult decisions," she said. A number of prominent celebrities decried DeVos' testimony later on Tuesday. "Terrible. We should support athletes with disabilities, not rip away their opportunities," Chelsea Clinton tweeted. "The benefits of Special Olympics, which I have seen first hand as volunteer are IMMEASURABLE," actress Marlee Matlin tweeted. "DeVos proposal to cut their funding will adversely affect thousands with developmental disabilities. Don't let this happen!"According to Special Olympics, its mission is "to provide year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for children and adults with intellectual disabilities, giving them continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy and participate in a sharing of gifts, skills and friendship with their families, other Special Olympics athletes and the community." 1735

WASHINGTON — The U.S. added 2.5 million jobs in May as the unemployment rate fell slightly to 13.5%.The new report indicates that the economy is recovering from the coronavirus pandemic faster than previously thought.The monthly unemployment report for April painted a bleak picture of the economic devastation wrought by COVID-19 — the unemployment rate jumped up to 14.7 percent, a jump of more than 10 percentage points. The report also suggested that more than 20 million jobs had been wiped away from the economy.But Friday's report painted an encouraging sign that businesses are quickly re-hiring workers as states gradually lift coronavirus-related lockdown restrictions. While some states are moving faster than others, every state has moved forward in lifting at least some lockdown restrictions.During a press conference at the White House Friday, President Donald Trump took credit for the newest report, claiming the economy's strength prior to the pandemic allowed for a quick bounce-back. 1015

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Peace Corps is telling its volunteers around the world that it is suspending all operations globally and evacuating all volunteers in light of the spread of the new coronavirus. In an open letter to volunteers posted Sunday on its website, the federal agency's director, Jody Olsen, says the decision follows recent evacuations in China and Mongolia due to the outbreak.
