It's time our Armed Services respect Black servicemembers and all Black Americans by renaming the bases named after those who took up arms against the United States to keep their ancestors in chains. Any efforts by Republicans to stop this are disgraceful.

The election is over. Donald Trump lost. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will be the next President and Vice President of the United States.
