(Daily Signal)—“The Washington ‘Whatever’s’ should IMMEDIATELY change their name back to the Washington Redskins Football Team,” President Donald Trump wrote Sunday, referring to the Washington Commanders NFL football team, which changed its name from the “Redskins” in 2020.
“Our great Indian people, in massive numbers, want this to happen. Their heritage and prestige is systematically being taken away from them,” Trump wrote on the platform Truth Social. “Times are different now than they were three or four years ago. We are a Country of passion and common sense. OWNERS, GET IT DONE!!!”
The Redskins’ name, logo, and team song were all changed in 2020, in the wake of the Black Lives Matter riots.
On Monday, Trump went a step further, threatening to tank the Commanders’ new Washington, D.C., stadium deal if owners didn’t play ball on restoring the Redskins name.
“My statement on the Washington [Redskins] has totally blown up, but only in a very positive way,” he wrote.
“I may put a restriction on them that if they don’t change the name back to the original ‘Washington Redskins,’ and get rid of the ridiculous moniker, ‘Washington Commanders.’ I won’t make a deal for them to build a Stadium in Washington.”
The Washington Commanders are currently planning on moving their home to a new stadium on the site of the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium in Washington, D.C., pending approval from the D.C. Council. They currently play their home games in suburban Maryland.
Since 2024, Sen. Steve Daines, R-Mont., has pressured the Washington Commanders to revive their old logo, which was designed by Montanan Walter “Blackie” Wetzel, a member of the Blackfeet tribe.
Daines claims credit for having pressured the team and the National Football League to highlight the team’s old Native American imagery in social media posts—in exchange for his cooperation on the bill allowing the team to move to the site of RFK Stadium, which would be replaced with a new one.
Daines told The Daily Signal that he would continue with this effort as Trump pushed for a name change.
“I’ve been working hard on behalf of the Wetzel family and the Blackfeet tribe to get the logo back in a place of prominence. I’d love to see the logo back on the helmets, but right now, we’re working with the team to put on some throwback uniforms, some throwback games with the logo,” he told The Daily Signal.
He added, “The president’s working on the name change. I’m working on the logo change.”
D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser does not have much to say about Trump’s demand.
“Listen, I don’t think that’s an eventuality we have to plan for,” Bowser said in a recent interview when asked about Trump’s ultimatum. “What we have to do as a city is do our part. And so our part is, we’ve come up with a great deal, we have a great plan, we’ve done the community outreach. Now is time for the [D.C. Council] to approve it.”
Oddly enough, the RFK Stadium deal may have contributed to the Redskins changing their name in the first place.
In 2020, Eleanor Holmes Norton, the District’s nonvoting congressional delegate, warned the team’s then-owner Dan Snyder that keeping the Redskins name could jeopardize approval of a move back to Washington.
“I call on Dan Snyder once again to face that reality, since he does still desperately want to be in the nation’s capital,” Norton said at the time. “He has got a problem he can’t get around—and he particularly can’t get around it today, after the George Floyd killing.”
Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
