The DOT’s October 3 rule ends 40 years of demographic protections. Black and women-owned firms must now prove discrimination individually—and time is running out. (BALTIMORE – October 15, 2025) – On October 3, 2025, the U.S. Department of Transportation issued an interim final rule that fundamentally restructured the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) program, eliminating the demographic presumptions that have anchored federal contracting access for Black-owned, women-owned, and other disadvantaged firms for four decades. The consequences are immediate and severe. All existing DBE certifications are suspended. Firms must recertify by proving they have faced specific discrimination in their business history. The…

Effective immediately, firms must prove disadvantage individually—reshaping access to federal contracts (WASHINGTON, DC – October 15, 2025) – The U.S. Department of Transportation issued an interim final rule on October 3, 2025, fundamentally restructuring how the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) program operates.

The shift has immediate consequences. All existing DBE and Airport Concessionaire Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (ACDBE) certifications are effectively suspended pending reevaluation under the new standards.

America Just Took the Ball and Went Home  (BALTIMORE – October 14, 2025) – As I read numerous articles on the recent Trump Administration ruling to remove Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) opportunities from the books, my thoughts go far beyond the obvious women-owned and minority-owned businesses that are most affected. My thoughts are on the Black women who nursed white babies with their own breast milk. I think of Chevy pickup trucks with Confederate flags in the rear window. I’m thinking about the kid who brought his basketball to the court, but he took his ball and went home when…

In recently released video footage, the officer can be seen punching McGriff, throwing her to the ground, pinning her by her neck with his knee, and yanking her hair as she cries out in pain. In the video audio, McGriff says “help” or “I can’t breathe” more than twenty times. Attorney…

Northern Virginia is home to the largest concentration of data centers in the world — bigger than the next five U.S. markets combined. In Loudoun County, these massive gray buildings have fueled a billion-dollar local tax windfall, lowering property tax rates year after year. But the boom comes with a cost. Data centers are moving closer to backyards — casting shadows on homes, humming through holidays, and draining nearly a third of Virginia’s electricity supply. Communities are divided: some see opportunity, others see an industrial invasion. Now, Maryland counties are watching closely. From Prince George’s County’s task force hearings to…
