GA-Sen B: Sen. Jeff Merkley (D. OR), “Rev. Raphael Warnock (D) is a perfect leader for this moment.”

Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley (D. OR) in support of Rev. Raphael Warnock’s (D. GA) U.S. Senate campaign: America is hurting. Tens of thousands of Americans are gathering every day in righteous protest against violence and racism. Instead of seeking reconciliation and justice, the president tries...

Trump thinks he's done more for Black people than all other presidents combined

Um, okay. Nice to see that Abraham Lincoln, who issued the Emancipation Proclamation, at least gets a shout-out. But Abe, JFK (proposed the Civil Rights Act), LBJ (signed the Civil Rights Act), and Barack Obama (broke barriers and inspired millions) still don’t add up to one DJT, who once occupied the...

MA-Sen: Markey (D) Pushes Bill To Force Government To Collect & Share Data On COVID-19 Patients

Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Ed Markey’s (D.

8 in 10 black Americans say Trump is racist, two-thirds think it's a bad time to be black in America

Donald Trump once said he’d get 95 percent of the black vote when he ran for reelection. I’m thinking no. A new Washington Post-Ipsos poll also tells a completely different story. Go figure: While personally optimistic about their own lives, black Americans today offer a bleaker view about their community as...

Bad news for Trump: survey shows African-Americans energized to vote in 2020

Of course, Donald Trump famously said he’d get 95 percent of the black vote in 2020. Then again, Donald Trump says a lot of things. Almost none of them are true. A new survey from Third Way and the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies reveals that 57 percent...

Houston Elects 19 Black Women Judges, so Texas Gov. and Legislature Move to End Judicial Elections.

This is simply reprehensible: Facing South.org “Voters in Houston, Texas, elected 19 black women to local judgeships last year. The new judges, all Democrats, have instituted wide-ranging reforms to the county’s bail system. Voters also sent Democratic judges to the state appeals court. A few months later, Republican Gov....
