“We can’t afford to be distracted by meaningless congressional interference.”

Muriel Bowser, the mayor of Washington, D.C. Bowser announced that the city’s Black Lives Matter Plaza will be renamed and a BLM mural painted over. Her decision came after a member of Congress introduced a bill demanding the city to take such action or risk losing federal funding. Bowser said the mural had “inspired millions of people” but said that federal layoffs are a bigger concern at this point. (WRC)
