Breitbart: Alex Marlow: Obama Created the Precedent for Trump to Use Recess Appointments

Welsh Conservative leader Andrew RT Davies labeled the initiative "outdated virtue-signalling nonsense," asserting it does not reflect the needs of the Welsh populace. A Welsh government spokesperson stated their commitment to creating an anti-racist nation by 2030.
