We're recording this on Wednesday as the agencies prepare to close out all DEI related offices. We're sort of seeing a return to things that seemed maybe standard American 20 years ago, merit-based hiring, colorblind hiring. Peter, what do you think of what Trump is doing on this issue?
Let's talk about immigration. So there were a number of orders on immigration. Trump reinstated the Remain in Mexico policy, ending a program that released asylum seekers into the U.S. while their cases are under evaluation. There were a number of other things. But the most controversial one is that Trump moved to revoke birthright citizenship, something that is guaranteed in the 14th Amendment.

Assuming he's right and it is going to be shut down, which is what many legal scholars are saying, why did he go for this? What's the point of it? If he likes winning, why choose a losing battle?

Okay, here's a question. Is changing the name of Denali to Mount McKinley and the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, is that just like a weird Trumpism or is that something that has actual purchase, Batya, among the American people? Like, forgive me. I was focused on other issues. I don't know if that was a campaign promise of Trump's, but why?

So, no, it's not the most important issue, but it's kind of fun. I just think Denali is so much more beautiful than McKinley. Peter, Brianna, do you guys care about Denali McKinley now?
