Fox News: Washington Democrats introduce legislation to remove George Washington from state flag
Washington state lawmakers have introduced House Bill 1938, aiming to remove George Washington from the state flag. The bill proposes a committee to design a new flag that reflects the state's diversity and values, citing the current flag's poor design and limited historical relevance to Washington.
Critics, including Republican lawmakers, argue that the focus on redesigning the flag is misplaced given pressing issues such as crime and housing costs. The proposed committee would gather public input before finalizing a new design by July 2028, subject to voter approval.

The Epoch Times: ESG and DEI Are Down But Not Out, Analysts Say
The ESG movement, initiated by a U.N. initiative two decades ago, is facing significant challenges, with many major companies scaling back their diversity and sustainability programs. Although some insiders claim the movement is not dead, a notable decline in support from U.S. asset managers contrasts with continued backing from European counterparts.
Despite setbacks, the principles of ESG may persist in practice as companies integrate green accounting into their operations. Analysts suggest that while the fervor for public commitments has waned, the underlying concepts of environmental and social governance remain relevant in the corporate landscape.
