Now, she added, organizations, universities and cities are asking themselves: “Is what I was doing yesterday still OK, or has this president redefined what it means to violate anti-discrimination laws?”\n\nTo get some clarity on that question, the judge asked a Justice Department lawyer whether she could define “equity-related grants.” The lawyer, Pardis Gheibi, punted on the question several times.\n\n“I don’t believe it’s related to the litigation today,” Gheibi said before the judge eventually dropped the question.\n\nGheibi went on to argue that because none of the plaintiffs have had grants or contracts canceled yet, they haven’t shown adequate harm worthy of a nationwide injunction.\n\n“Their only harm seems to be that they’re generally fearful of what the executive is going to do when they decide to bring enforcement,” she said.\n\nFor the judge to grant a temporary restraining order, he would have to buy into an assumption that the Trump administration’s enforcement of anti-discrimination laws will be conducted unlawfully, Gheibi said.\n\n“Plaintiffs seem to be operating on the understanding that all DEI programs are legal,” Gheibi said, adding that Harvard University was also under the impression that its affirmative action program was legal until the Supreme Court ruled otherwise."},{"@context":"https://schema.org/","@type":"BlogPosting","publisher":{"@type":"NewsMediaOrganization","name":"NBC News","masthead":"https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/nbc-news-digital-editors-n893846","url":"https://www.nbcnews.com","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com/image/upload/h_60/v1696280688/newsgroup-logos/nbcnews/logo/primary-black-424x45.png"},"sameAs":["https://x.com/nbcnews","https://www.pinterest.com/nbcnews/","https://www.facebook.com/NBCNews/","https://www.instagram.com/nbcnews/","https://www.youtube.com/nbcnews","https://www.snapchat.com/p/8bb879c7-45c0-499c-bb3c-7a3d0e229301/2193844248074240","https://www.tiktok.com/@nbcnews?lang=en"]},"mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/live-blog/live-updates-trump-lori-chavez-deremer-cpac-rcna192744#rcrd73373"},"headline":"Kathy Hochul fires back at Trump after he nixes NYC congestion pricing","url":"https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/live-blog/live-updates-trump-lori-chavez-deremer-cpac-rcna192744#rcrd73373","datePublished":"2025-02-19T21:57:39.213Z","dateModified":"2025-02-19T22:41:54.738Z","author":[{"@context":"https://schema.org/","@type":"Person","name":"Madison Lambert","image":null,"jobTitle":null,"description":"Madison Lambert is an assignment editor at NBC News."}],"image":"https://media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com/image/upload/t_fit-1500w,f_auto,q_auto:best/rockcms/2025-02/250210-Lori-Chavez-DeRemer-aa-1132-934a28.jpg","articleBody":"New York Gov.

The move is part of a broader effort to slash probationary roles across the federal government. \n\nProbationary employees at the foundation — who may have long scientific careers but are often recent hires — received email notifications yesterday morning inviting them to a hybrid in-person and online meeting, where they learned of their terminations.\n\nBonnie Green, who until yesterday was an expert for NSF’s Directorate for STEM Education, said she didn’t see the meeting notice right away and learned of her termination through text messages from colleagues. After she checked her email, she discovered an email initiating her departure.\n\n“They have rendered NSF unable to accomplish its mission,” Green said. “Too many highly skilled experts have been cut. We are not interchangeable cogs!”\n\nEmployees decried the layoffs yesterday in an email chain titled “We are lead by cowards …” that was sent to the entire agency, including executive leadership. The correspondence, reviewed by NBC News, featured several comments from employees criticizing NSF management for not protecting probationary workers.\n\n“Some have changed their careers and upended their lives to come answer the call to service,” one message read. “Our management has failed! If NSF’s top leadership has any dignity, they should resign immediately!

The officials said the timing for announcing the decisions could shift.\n\nMost of those on the list have been closely associated with former Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, who served all four years of the Biden administration, have worked on diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives or have voiced opinions that Trump’s allies viewed as politically out of line with his agenda, the officials said.\n\nSenior Democrats have not been formally briefed on the plans, according to a congressional official familiar with conversations.\n\nThe Pentagon did not respond to a request for comment. \n\nThe generals and other officers are expected to be replaced with nominees for their positions who are closer to Hegseth and viewed as more aligned with Trump’s agenda, the defense officials and congressional officials said. \n\nChairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff CQ Brown was viewed as one of the most vulnerable senior military officials once Trump took office, with Trump and his allies vowing to immediately fire him and others who they believe have been too focused on diversity initiatives. \n\nTrump and Brown met briefly in December during the transition in a suite at the Army-Navy football game in Maryland. Two people familiar with their conversation told NBC News at the time that the meeting changed Trump’s mind about firing Brown immediately after having taken office. \n\nIt is unclear whether Brown will be fired as part of a purging of generals and flag officers.

But senators were reluctant to call out Trump by name.\n\n“I wouldn’t use the same word,” said Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas. \n\nSen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, said she would “certainly not call Zelenskyy a dictator.”\n\nZelenskyy has been a “key component” of Ukraine’s ability to withstand the Russian attacks, said Sen. Mike Rounds, R-S.D.\n\nSen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., said he hadn’t seen Trump’s dictator remarks but said, “It’s not a word I would use.”\n\n“Make no mistake about it. That invasion was the responsibility of one human being on the face of this planet. It was Vladimir Putin in a calculation to go through Ukraine and not stop there, to go through Moldova, to go through the Balkans, to ultimately go to the Baltic states and send the signal to China that now is the time that they can take action in the South China Sea,” Tillis told reporters. \n\n“That’s what this is about, and that’s what we as members have to communicate,\" he said.\n\nTrump said yesterday that Ukraine “started” the war with Russia, when, in fact, Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022. Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., a Trump ally, said he disagreed with that characterization.\n\n“Here’s where I disagree with the White House: To the extent that the White House said that Ukraine started the war, I disagree. I think Vladimir Putin started the war,” Kennedy told reporters today. “I also believe, through bitter experience, that Vladimir Putin is a gangster.”\n\nOther GOP senators said Trump was right to call out Zelenskyy for postponing elections in Ukraine. The country was supposed to hold a presidential election last spring, but it was delayed because of the war.\n\n“He should have elections. He [Trump] is not wrong about that,” said Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo. “We had elections during the Second World War. Democracies have elections. So I think he’s right to call Zelenskyy on that.

The performance was removed last night from the center’s programming schedule and replaced with a National Symphony Orchestra rendition of \"The Wizard of Oz\" movie score. \n\n“We are deeply disappointed with the news that our upcoming Pride performance with the National Symphony Orchestra (NSO) has been canceled,” the choral group said in a statement posted to their Instagram account. The chorus was planning to debut a pride piece titled \"A Peacock Among Pigeons,\" it said, noting they had been excited to collaborate with the orchestra. \n\n“We believe in the power of music to educate and uplift, to foster love, understanding, and community, and we regret that this opportunity has been taken away,” the chorus said in the statement. \n\nThe chorus added they will still perform \"A Peacock Among Pigeons\" during their upcoming Choral Festival as part of the WorldPride 2025 tour, in an effort to \"seek spaces where our voices, our stories, and our music can be heard,\" the statement said. \n\nTrump fired multiple Biden-era appointees from the center’s board this month, including former State Secretary Antony Blinken and former White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, and appointed longtime loyalist Ric Grennell, who served several positions during Trump’s first term and is currently his envoy for special missions, as interim executive director. \n\n“No more drag shows, or other anti-American propaganda — only the best,\" Trump wrote in all capital letters in a Truth Social post last week after announcing himself as the center’s chair. \n\nThe White House and the Kennedy Center did not immediately respond to NBC News' request for comment.

For the latest news, click here. What to know Wednesday President Donald Trump addressed a crowd at the Future Investment Initiative Institute's PRIORITY Summit in Miami Beach, Florida. He went through an itemized list of funds purportedly recovered by Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency and suggested returning 20% of the savings to American citizens. Lori Chavez-DeRemer, Trump's labor secretary nominee, appeared before the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee at her confirmation hearing. Chavez-DeRemer, a Republican former congresswoman from Oregon, has drawn some skepticism from the party because of her pro-union record. She was asked about her thoughts on unions and workers' rights, as well as her brief work at a Planned Parenthood facility in her early 20s. Trump escalated a public spat with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy today, calling him “a dictator without elections,” after Zelenskyy said Trump was getting “disinformation" from Russia amid discussions on ending the war in Ukraine. Vice President JD Vance piled on, saying Zelenskyy 's comments were "disgraceful." Later, during his Miami Beach remarks, Trump minimized the extent of Russian meddling in U.S. elections and repeated his criticism of Zelenskyy as a "dictator.""}</script><meta name="socialCopy" content="Get live updates and the latest news as Trump's Labor secretary nominee, Lori Chavez-DeRemer, attends Senate hearing and the Conservative Political Action Conference begins " data-next-head=""/><meta name="description" content="Live updates and the latest news as Trump's Labor secretary nominee, Lori Chavez-DeRemer, attends Senate hearing and the Conservative Political Action Conference begins." data-next-head=""/><link rel="canonical" href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/live-blog/live-updates-trump-lori-chavez-deremer-cpac-rcna192744" data-next-head=""/><meta property="og:url" content="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/live-blog/live-updates-trump-lori-chavez-deremer-cpac-rcna192744" data-next-head=""/><meta property="og:title" content="Trump reiterates Zelenskyy criticism in Florida; labor secretary nominee Lori Chavez-DeRemer breezes through Senate hearing" data-next-head=""/><meta property="og:description" content="Live updates and the latest news as Trump's Labor secretary nominee, Lori Chavez-DeRemer, attends Senate hearing and the Conservative Political Action Conference begins." data-next-head=""/><meta property="og:image" content="https://media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com/image/upload/t_nbcnews-fp-1200-630,f_auto,q_auto:best/rockcms/2025-02/250210-Lori-Chavez-DeRemer-aa-1132-934a28.jpg" data-next-head=""/><meta property="og:image:secure_url" content="https://media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com/image/upload/t_nbcnews-fp-1200-630,f_auto,q_auto:best/rockcms/2025-02/250210-Lori-Chavez-DeRemer-aa-1132-934a28.jpg" data-next-head=""/><meta property="og:image:type" content="image/jpeg" data-next-head=""/><meta property="og:image:width" content="1200" data-next-head=""/><meta property="og:image:height" content="630" data-next-head=""/><meta property="og:type" content="article" data-next-head=""/><meta name="twitter:image:src" content="https://media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com/image/upload/t_nbcnews-fp-1024-512,f_auto,q_auto:best/rockcms/2025-02/250210-Lori-Chavez-DeRemer-aa-1132-934a28.jpg" data-next-head=""/><meta name="twitter:image" content="https://media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com/image/upload/t_nbcnews-fp-1024-512,f_auto,q_auto:best/rockcms/2025-02/250210-Lori-Chavez-DeRemer-aa-1132-934a28.jpg" data-next-head=""/><meta name="twitter:title" content="Trump reiterates Zelenskyy criticism in Florida; labor secretary nominee Lori Chavez-DeRemer breezes through Senate hearing" data-next-head=""/><meta name="twitter:description" content="Live updates and the latest news as Trump's Labor secretary nominee, Lori Chavez-DeRemer, attends Senate hearing and the Conservative Political Action Conference begins." data-next-head=""/><meta name="twitter:card" content="summary_large_image" data-next-head=""/><meta name="thumbnail" content="https://media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com/image/upload/t_social_share_1024x768_scale,f_auto,q_auto:best/rockcms/2025-02/250210-Lori-Chavez-DeRemer-aa-1132-934a28.jpg" data-next-head=""/><title data-next-head="">Trump reiterates Zelenskyy criticism in Florida; labor secretary nominee Lori Chavez-DeRemer breezes through Senate hearing</title><link rel="amphtml" href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/live-blog/rcna192744" data-next-head=""/><link rel="preload" imagesrcset="https://media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com/image/upload/t_fit-560w,f_auto,q_auto:best/rockcms/2025-02/250210-Lori-Chavez-DeRemer-aa-1132-934a28.jpg" as="image" media="(max-width: 758px)" data-next-head=""/><link rel="preload" imagesrcset="https://media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com/image/upload/t_fit-760w,f_auto,q_auto:best/rockcms/2025-02/250210-Lori-Chavez-DeRemer-aa-1132-934a28.jpg" as="image" media="(min-width: 758.1px) and (max-width: 1000px)" data-next-head=""/><link rel="preload" imagesrcset="https://media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com/image/upload/t_fit-1000w,f_auto,q_auto:best/rockcms/2025-02/250210-Lori-Chavez-DeRemer-aa-1132-934a28.jpg" as="image" media="(min-width: 1000.1px)" data-next-head=""/><meta name="branch:deeplink:authorThumbnail2" content="https://media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com/image/upload/newscms/2020_02/3181661/michael-kosnar-circle-byline-template.jpg" data-next-head=""/><meta name="branch:deeplink:authorThumbnail3" content="https://media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com/image/upload/newscms/2024_28/3654609/240613-ryan-reilly.jpg" data-next-head=""/><meta name="branch:deeplink:authorThumbnail4" content="https://media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com/image/upload/newscms/2024_26/3653107/240627-megan-lebowitz.jpg" data-next-head=""/><meta name="branch:deeplink:authorName2" content="Michael Kosnar" data-next-head=""/><meta name="branch:deeplink:authorName3" content="Ryan J.

class="body-graf">U.S. District Judge Adam Abelson instead said he will endeavor to get a written ruling out as quickly as possible.</p><p class="body-graf">During nearly three hours of oral argument in downtown Baltimore, lawyers for the Justice Department and organizations affected by Trump’s DEI executive orders presented two broadly different versions of the orders’ current impact.</p><div

class="styles_hidden-show-more-content__FOVN1"><p class="body-graf">The vague language used in the executive orders is causing widespread confusion and forcing organizations that receive federal grants to “self-censor” for fear that their funds will be cut off, a lawyer representing DEI-focused organizations and Baltimore officials said.</p><p class="body-graf">“What’s unlawful or not is not clear to any of our plaintiffs,” Aleshadye Getachew told the court.</p><p class="body-graf">Before the executive orders were issued, the plaintiffs understood that they were in full compliance with the law, Getachew said. Now, she added, organizations, universities and cities are asking themselves: “Is what I was doing yesterday still OK, or has this president redefined what it means to violate anti-discrimination laws?”</p><p class="body-graf">To get some clarity on that question, the judge asked a Justice Department lawyer whether she could define “equity-related grants.” The lawyer, Pardis Gheibi, punted on the question several times.</p><p class="body-graf">“I don’t believe it’s related to the litigation today,” Gheibi said before the judge eventually dropped the question.</p><p class="body-graf">Gheibi went on to argue that because none of the plaintiffs have had grants or contracts canceled yet, they haven’t shown adequate harm worthy of a nationwide injunction.</p><p class="body-graf">“Their only harm seems to be that they’re generally fearful of what the executive is going to do when they decide to bring enforcement,” she said.</p><p class="body-graf">For the judge to grant a temporary restraining order, he would have to buy into an assumption that the Trump administration’s enforcement of anti-discrimination laws will be conducted unlawfully, Gheibi said.</p><p class="body-graf">“Plaintiffs seem to be operating on the understanding that all DEI programs are legal,” Gheibi said, adding that Harvard University was also under the impression that its affirmative action program was legal until the Supreme Court ruled otherwise.</p></div></div></div><div class="styles_chat-blog-card__wNypF article-body__content w-100 mh0 fn" id="rcrd73373"

for starting the war with Russia. But senators were reluctant to call out Trump by name.</p><p class="body-graf">“I wouldn’t use the same word,” said Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas. </p><p class="body-graf">Sen.

Thom Tillis, R-N.C., said he hadn’t seen Trump’s dictator remarks but said, “It’s not a word I would use.”</p><p class="body-graf">“Make no mistake about it. That invasion was the responsibility of one human being on the face of this planet. It was Vladimir Putin in a calculation to go through Ukraine and not stop there, to go through Moldova, to go through the Balkans, to ultimately go to the Baltic states and send the signal to China that now is the time that they can take action in the South China Sea,” Tillis told reporters. </p><p class="body-graf">“That’s what this is about, and that’s what we as members have to communicate," he said.</p><p class="body-graf">Trump said yesterday that Ukraine “started” the war with Russia, when, in fact, Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022. Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., a Trump ally, said he disagreed with that characterization.</p><p class="body-graf">“Here’s where I disagree with the White House: To the extent that the White House said that Ukraine started the war, I disagree. I think Vladimir Putin started the war,” Kennedy told reporters today. “I also believe, through bitter experience, that Vladimir Putin is a gangster.”</p><p class="body-graf">Other GOP senators said Trump was right to call out Zelenskyy for postponing elections in Ukraine. The country was supposed to hold a presidential election last spring, but it was delayed because of the war.</p><p class="body-graf">“He should have elections. He [Trump] is not wrong about that,” said Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo. “We had elections during the Second World War. Democracies have elections. So I think he’s right to call Zelenskyy on that. He is the elected leader of Ukraine, but he’s also imposed martial law not letting people vote.”</p></div></div></div><div class="styles_chat-blog-card__wNypF article-body__content w-100 mh0 fn"

Men’s Chorus of Washington, D.C., and the National Symphony Orchestra on May 21 has been canceled, adding to a growing list of schedule changes announced since <a href="https://apnews.com/article/trump-kennedy-center-board-chairman-firings-21cd0018c6e9f591d59becea8573d8c0" target="_blank">Trump purged the Kennedy Center Board of Trustees</a> and appointed himself chairman earlier this month. </p><p class="body-graf">The concert was set to take place in late May to kick off national Pride Month celebrations. The performance was removed last night from the center’s programming schedule and replaced with a National Symphony Orchestra rendition of "The Wizard of Oz" movie score. </p><div class="styles_showMoreButtonWrapper__CikE6"><button class="animated-ghost-button animated-ghost-button--medium styles_showMoreButton__xkTQ1" type="button" data-testid="button-hover-animation" aria-controls="rcrd73357-overflow-content" aria-label="Show more of post Kennedy Center cancels Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, D.C., performance ">Show more</button></div><div id="rcrd73357-overflow-content" class="styles_hidden-show-more-content__FOVN1"><p class="body-graf">“We are deeply disappointed with the news that our upcoming Pride performance with the National Symphony Orchestra (NSO) has been canceled,” the choral group said in <a href="https://www.instagram.com/gmcwashington/" target="_blank">a statement posted to the</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/gmcwashington/" target="_blank">ir </a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/gmcwashington/" target="_blank">Instagram account</a>. The chorus was planning to debut a pride piece titled "A Peacock Among Pigeons," it said, noting they had been excited to collaborate with the orchestra. </p><p class="body-graf">“We believe in the power of music to educate and uplift, to foster love, understanding, and community, and we regret that this opportunity has been taken away,” the chorus said in the statement. </p><p class="body-graf">The chorus added they will still perform "A Peacock Among Pigeons" during their upcoming Choral Festival as part of the WorldPride 2025 tour, in an effort to "seek spaces where our voices, our stories, and our music can be heard," the statement said. </p><p class="body-graf">Trump fired multiple Biden-era appointees from the center’s board this month, including former State Secretary Antony Blinken and former White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, and appointed longtime loyalist Ric Grennell, who served several positions during Trump’s first term and is currently his envoy for special missions, as interim executive director. </p><p class="body-graf">“No more drag shows, or other anti-American propaganda — only the best," Trump wrote in all capital letters in a <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/113981872435350592" target="_blank">Truth Social post </a>last week after announcing himself as the center’s chair. </p><p

href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/zelenskyy-trump-putin-war-ukraine-russia-started-rcna192765" target="_blank"> </a>that Trump was trapped in a “disinformation bubble” when it came to Russia's

Trump again made the claim in his Truth Social post this morning, writing that Zelenskyy "talked the United States of America into spending $350 Billion Dollars, to go into a War that couldn’t be won, that never had to start, but a War that he, without the U.S. and 'TRUMP,' will never be able to settle." </p><p class="body-graf">"A Dictator without Elections, Zelenskyy better move fast or he is not going to have a Country left," Trump said in the post, adding, "In the meantime, we are successfully negotiating an end to the War with Russia, something all admit only 'TRUMP,' and the Trump Administration, can do." </p><p class="body-graf">"I love Ukraine, but Zelenskyy has done a terrible job, his Country is shattered, and MILLIONS have unnecessarily died — And so it continues ...
