do we know anything more about that, congresswoman pressley? investigation, so there's really not much that i can say about that other than this, that ultimately democracy won the battle on january 6th, but the war is still being waged against democracy. >> yeah. >> and white supremacy is a clear and present danger and threat. it must be rooted out, and there must be accountability in order for there to be healing from these traumatic events. and i would like to instead reserve space for people who i think were the true patriots in this moment like those black custodians who were cleaning up the mess left behind of this white -- violent white supremacist mob. >> we are out of time, but congresswoman jayapal, you have created support groups. your caucus looks like this panel, and i want everybody in this country to look at this panel, ruben gallego, ayanna pressley, pramila jayapal, that is the nomenclature of the future of america and there were people who were enraged by that and enraged by the fact that that was advanced in the election in ge

congresswoman pressley, great to have you with us. first of all, certainly we are all keeping our eyes on texas as we continue to talk about the impact of some of the things that i opened with that is going on in the congress and in the senate, or that is not going on. long, brutal week for those of us who have to care about equal access to the franchise. i talked with president biden and vice president harris after their speeches in atlanta tuesday. then two days later i watched as the sun came up and water stayed wet because democratic senators manchin and sinema remained adamant that a rules change on the filibuster will empower congressional republicans to overturn whatever democrats pass in the future. with sinema taking it a step further on the floor thursday, claiming that filibuster reform would somehow be the thing that exacerbates our nation's divisions and not the national gop campaign to curtail voting rights state by state. that doesn't exacerbate the division. she thinks the filibuster does. i mean, do you agree? let me

representatives jamal brown and pressley calling for president bide tone follow through on his promiseominate a black woman. the demographic i was mentioning. cori bush i would love to see a black woman named to the u.s. supreme court. identity is important but it is not enough. power panel now, caldwell fox news political analyst and former dnc press secretary. i will come to you first to kind of sum up what we're seeing now. i just look, they are replacing one democrat with another liberal on the u.s. supreme court. take it from there. >> with a dismal approval rating with african-americans joe biden needed something to offer up to the community. absolutely desperately needed. most folks who have been loyal of the democratic party has been saying of late what have you done for me lately? they're the reason he is president today. so this will be for him a great opportunity to actually put up a black woman on the supreme court. of course, it's not as great of a win as one may think. i don't think it will encourage many folks to come to the polls in the mid-terms. i'm talking about afri

miss pressley. >> like you chairman raskin for convening today's hearing.so as it forfeiture laws have been weaponized by police and prosecutors in disproportionately targeted against black and brown communities for for too long. these policies amount to little more than legalized theft. they are abused to create police budgets and dole out bonuses. without reform, civil asset forfeiture laws continue to hurt and harm at the expense of innocent people all across our country. in the commonwealth of massachusetts, the state i call home, it's no exception. in 2018, massachusetts made 36 million dollars in revenue from civil asset forfeiture is because it had an extremely low standard, for seizures. the state has little transparency on who it is taking money and property from. even less accountability to ensure wrong seizures are quickly returned. miss harris, unfortunately, you know this all too well. we all appreciate your willingness to share your story on how your car, your only possession during the time when you are living in a shelter was seized by the p

pressley: thank you, mr. speaker. i rise in strong support of our bill, the willie o'ree congressional gold medal act, legislation which honors the historic career and life and service of the one and only willie o'ree. with today's vote in the people's house, we honor a giant, and it has been an honor to be a steward in this effort. willie is a trailblazer, an icebreaker, a hero, an activist whose powerful story is unknown to too many. that ends here today. we change that. 64 years ago in the midst of the fight to end jim crow, willie o'ree made history with the boston bruins by becoming the first black player to play in the national hockey league. a descendent of enslaved people who escaped the horrors of slavery through the underground railroad, willie was born and raised in new brunswick, canada, and the youngest of 13 children. his love of the game began at the young age of 3 where he earned his stripes playing alongside his older siblings. known as the jackie robinson of hockey, he spent more than two decades pla

i mean, elizabeth warren, chuck schumer and iana pressley passed a resolution calling on the administrationabout the kind of country we want to be. and this is good for the economy because it won't just be a one-time economic stimulus. it will allow younger people and their families to buy homes, to seek more education, to help their kids get -- find jobs they couldn't afford otherwise. there is a view this is about recklessness or irresponsibility if you have debt. not the case when you look at the numbers. this is just part of the american system because education is so expensive. and people leave and have to pay back over a decade. i know people with debt. i know people who are still paying off law school debt. so i think there has to be real thinking and you think, alex, about the time we're in. you know, this is a time of pandemic. this is a time when we need to rethink what security means. and what better than investing in education, investing in mobility and investing in fairness. you know, the fact that we got defense budgets to the wazoo, you know, but it's just a kind of misalloca

congresswoman pressley added "it is time for a black woman on the supreme court." this raises the question, how much was briar forced out? is he retiring on his own terms, on his own timeline? apparently not. we are also waiting tonight at south carolina congressman jim kleinberg -- jim clyburn single-handedly helped save joe biden's candidacy after poor showing in iowa and new hampshire. sounds like jim clyburn is admitting he had to quit, pro," with old joe. using south carolina and his popularity, which is huge in south carolina and exchange to extract a promise from joe only to put a african american woman on the supreme court. what other deals might be out there? furthermore, ask yourself, a far left democrats and the mob in the media are so concerned about racial diversity on the court and so concerned with racial and gender justice, why are they so bent on smearing clarence thomas every chance they get? a member overwrought -- which is recently referred to as "uncle clarence." listen to the ladies on the hard had a new show on abc "the view" actually suggest

pressley, you are recognized for your five minutes. there you go. >> thank you, chairman raskin, for convening today's hearing. civil asset forfeiture laws have been weaponized by police and prosecutors, disproportionately targeted against black and brown communities for too long. these policies amount to little more than legalized theft, and are used to increase police budgets and dole out bonuses. without reform, civil asset forfeiture laws will continue to exact hurt and harm at the expense of innocent people across our country. in massachusetts, the state i call home -- it is no exception. in 2018, massachusetts made $36 million in revenue from civil asset forfeitures because it has an extremely low standard for seizure. the state has no transparency on who it is taking money and profit from and less accountability to ensure unlawful seizures are returned. ms. harris knows about this all too well. we appreciate how you shared your story in which your car was impounded for five years. it breaks my heart to learn about the hardships

massachusetts democratic congresswoman pressley tweeted to the president writing he must cancel studenty the movement that elected him. last year the white house said the president would support canceling some student loan debt if congress would send a bill to his desk. given the political climb & the progressives want the president to do it on his own. >> dana: with friends like these. >> bill: president biden continues to sink in the polls. some described it as cratering. quinnipiac, the approval rating dropping to 33%. tom bevan founder of real clear politics good morning to you. dana said the mercy rule should be in effect. she wants credit for that. well done here. here is what quinnipiac says. job approval among the following groups. overall 33. independents 25. hispanics 28. also on the state of the economy getting worse, same or better? 54% of those in the poll say it is getting worse. i don't know how you dig out of that unless you go to church and pray. >> obviously these are terrible numbers across the board this poll. just one poll. it is five points lower on the job approva

and black women carry 20% more than our white peers: this is according to congresswoman ayanna pressley'sur question like most things in america is racism and anti-blackness and white supremacy. i also want to lift up that lgbtq borrowers carry more debt than non-lgbtq people. >> why? >> that's for a lot of reasons. there are unfair practices that loan carriers, institutions and others project upon borrowers. there's a legacy of banks preventing us, black people, women, lgbtq ia plus people, people with disabilities are from accessing capital to get anywhere closer to the american dream. that's one of the reasons why we should also be passing the equality act while talking about all these other things. the second is that we also start with greater barriers and baggage, right, so the median income for black folks is around $45,000 and on average we're carrying close to $52,000 in debt. and so there's lots of sacrifice that black folks, that women and lgbtq ia plus folks, intersectionality make, before even making the decision to take out loans if we're able to in the first place. >> this i
