Today we remember George Floyd. We mourn for his family, friends, and the community his life has touched. But we also must honor his life by continuing the fight for justice, and that starts by acknowledging a painful truth: the United States Senate has failed George Floyd.

It has been 11 months since the House first passed the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act. 11 months, and the won’t act while more Black Americans are killed by police. If Republicans want to filibuster this bill, then Democrats should get rid of the filibuster.

We can’t bring back George Floyd, but we can work to dismantle systemic racism and fundamentally transform our policing and justice systems. It’s what Americans are marching in the streets and into the voting booths to demand. Enough is enough – it’s time to pass this bill.

That’s lovely but Democrats have a majority in both houses of Congress, so the roadblocks aren’t the GOP anymore. The problem is that Democrats can’t get Democrats to cooperate. Lack of party discipline as always.

I am tired of politicians. They just keep saying words. Words! Words! Words! With so little action. Both parties always say we are gonna change things. What do we get. Words!

But as long as Dems use the same flip side of the playbook and redirect anger to the wealthy the country doesn't heal-the snake still has it's head, it's just trying to bite elsewhere. Bring this country together or step aside
