The first group of white South Africans granted refugee status by Donald Trump’s administration has arrived in the US, stirring controversy in South Africa as the US president declared the Afrikaners victims of a “genocide”.

The Afrikaners, a minority descended from mainly Dutch colonists, were met at Dulles international airport outside Washington DC by US deputy secretary of state, Christopher Landau, and deputy secretary of homeland security, Troy Edgar, with many given US flags to wave.

A Democratic National Committee subcommittee on Monday recommended that the organization invalidate one of its February vice-chair votes over claims that it unfairly disadvantaged female candidates.

The move, which won't be official unless the entire DNC votes to approve it, could open up new races for the positions held by David Hogg, a Florida activist, and Malcolm Kenyatta, a Pennsylvania state legislator.

The challenge by Oklahoma Democratic Committeewoman Kalyn Free, who unsuccessfully ran against Hogg and Kenyatta in the February race for vice chair, is not related to the ongoing tension between Hogg and the national party over his push to support primary challenges against incumbent Democrats.

Instead, it was based off Free's claim that the handling of the vice-chair vote gave the two men an unfair advantage amid the national party's requirements that its executive committee achieve gender balance.

House Republicans are moving forward with plans to raise the nation’s debt ceiling by $4 trillion as part of a larger plan to advance President Trump’s tax agenda.

Rachel Reeves will on Tuesday set out contentious “backstop” plans to force large pension funds to invest up to £50bn in private assets if they fail to meet voluntary targets in a new “Mansion House accord”.

Shadow chancellor Mel Stride told the Financial Times the idea smacked of “desperation”, adding: “Pension funds must be free to make investment decisions based on what’s best for savers.”

Recently, the vice-chair to the DNC, David Hogg, has been running an effort to primary and remove the ineffective/establishment members of the democratic party in favor of representatives who will truly fight for us and against money in politics. Unsurprisingly, the DNC is casting a vote to remove him. Is there anything we can do to protect his position? Such as a number we can call, or a petition we can sign? If not, what are the best ways to go about continuing support for his efforts after he's stripped of power?
