WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Congresswoman Lisa Blunt Rochester joined with her colleagues in voting to pass H.R. 3401 as amended by the Senate, providing much-needed emergency funding for the humanitarian crisis at the border. “While I am disappointed that the House version of the emergency funding bill will not be enacted, the humanitarian crisis on our Southern Border necessitates immediate action and this bill accomplishes that. My priority is ensuring that children under the care of the United States government are safe and appropriately cared for - this vote reflects that priority,” said Congresswoman Blunt Rochester. “As I said when the House passed our version of the emergency funding bill earlier this week, money alone will not solve this problem. It is time for the Senate to begin working with us on comprehensive immigration reform.
SO Cute!

Let’s Face It, 2020 is going to be about race in America

African Americans in general and African American women, in particular, are the most reliable Democratic voters. Hillary Clinton took them for granted and enough of them they stayed home that she lost. Maybe she wasn't prepared for how racist Trump was prepared to make the election? In her defence, who was? Similarly, who among us was prepared for how racist Trump would govern? The DC sages told us it was a show to bring out the base. Well, the show goes on, and on...and on. Trump has never pretended that his election in 2016 was about anything other than race. Trump has never pretended that his administration is about anything other than race. His dog whistles are not silent dog whistles, they are loud and proud sheriff Bull Connor whistles. Biden can't be the nominee. There is no formula for being "just racist enough" to peel away some Trump voters. No. There are is no middle to appeal to. You want the racism Trump is selling or you don't. 2020 is going to be about race and it is going to be a war.
