Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.) and Rep. Michael Cloud (R-Texas) have introduced legislation to complement the Trump administration’s push against diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices in the federal government, building on a near-identical bill that Vice President JD Vance introduced with Cloud while Vance was still an Ohio Senator.
The latest “Dismantle DEI Act,” announced on Feb. 4, would target any federal DEI offices as well as federal funding for DEI.
Part of the 47-page bill updates the Civil Rights Act of 1964, defining DEI practices as those “discriminating for or against any person on the basis of race, color, ethnicity, religion, biological sex, or national origin.”
DEI practices would also include workplace requirements to assent to claims “that a particular race, color, ethnicity, religion, biological sex, or national origin is inherently or systemically superior or inferior, oppressive or oppressed, or privileged or unprivileged,” as well as key trainings advancing such claims.
The proposed measure follows President Donald Trump’s early actions on DEI since the first day of his second term on Jan. 20, which included an executive order directing agencies to terminate DEI-related programs, along with an executive order targeting DEI in both the public and private sectors.

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
