Cleveland's baseball team announced it would be dropping its long-standing Indians moniker earlier today. The White House said it's supportive, but the move angered many Republicans.

Cleveland's Major League Baseball team announce its name change to the Cleveland Guardians during a press conference at Progressive Field in Cleveland, Ohio. | Jason Miller/Getty ImagesThe Biden administration is supportive of Cleveland’s baseball team changing its name to the Guardians, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Friday.

It is only the latest step for the team, which has been gradually deemphasizing these elements on its uniforms and visual identity for several years. But it is the most significant step for the team since 2018 when it retired its mascot, Chief Wahoo, that it had used for decades. He said the team, which last won a World Series in 1948, was soiling their “storied and cherished baseball franchise” in changing the name they had used for over a century. He also claimed that few Native Americans objected to the team name.

Justice Department issues policy limiting White House contactAttorney General Merrick Garland issued a long-awaited directive seeking to limit political influence on law enforcement matters by strictly limiting contacts between Justice Department personnel and the White House Horse...barn...door. How does it prevent the next bad guy to occupy the office appointing an AG that will reverse it? Or ignore it? It is all about meaningless optics than results with Garland. One administration too late, but good move.
