US taxpayers spend $24,000 on Irish college's DEI film project
Saturday, 15 February 2025 The US State Department spent $24,000 (£19,000) to fund an Irish college's film project promoting diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI).
Michael Urie takes time to tell THR about how Apple TV+'s 'Shrinking' is lifting the long standing taboo of mental health care and how he hopes Hollywood still maintains minority representation amidst the pulling back of federal and cooperate DEI initiatives.

Former President Donald Trump hosted a Black History Month reception at the White House, rallying support from Black leaders while simultaneously pushing his administration's controversial move to end diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs. Golf legend Tiger Woods made a surprise appearance, and Trump hinted at future political ambitions, asking the crowd, "Should I run again?" The event has sparked both praise and criticism.

The U.S. and Russia will hold the next round of diplomatic talks in Istanbul on April 10, focusing solely on stabilizing embassy operations.

The discussions follow earlier rounds in Riyadh and Istanbul under the Trump administration's push to reset ties with Moscow. Despite continuing geopolitical tensions, both sides are aiming to address diplomatic staffing, property restrictions, and flight operations. Russia will be represented by Ambassador Aleksandr Darchiev, while the U.S. delegation will be led by Sonata Coulter.

The U.S. has revoked all visas held by South Sudanese passport holders and halted future issuances, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced Saturday. The decision follows Juba’s alleged refusal to accept deported nationals. The State Department criticized South Sudan’s transitional government for “taking advantage” of U.S. leniency. The move comes amid worsening instability in South Sudan, which faces mass displacement and food crises. The Biden administration says visa restrictions will remain until full cooperation is ensured. South Sudan’s Foreign Ministry and the UN have not responded to requests for comment.
