The Senate passed a bill to permanently fund historically black colleges and universities and minority-serving institutions. Federal funding had expired on October 1.

In early November, 38 senators had sent an open letter to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, a Kentucky Republican, and Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, a New York Democrat, urging them to allow immediate consideration of the legislation. The House initially passed the measure last month, the letter says, and it notes that the funding"is a lifeline for these institutions to strengthen their academic, administrative, and fiscal capacities.

The measure makes the federal student aid application process -- the Free Application for Federal Student Aid -- easier by eliminating up to 22 questions and the process that had required some students to verify IRS documentation with the Department of Education in order for aid to be released.

Cool

The Senate Majority is Republican, Miserable, Angry , Trump butt kissers and scared S...less over the black vote in 2020. The passage of this bill was meant to pacify black voters but that trick won't work 😆

Is t this racist

They want black voters this is how their cronies told them this could be an opening

Black? Any other colors in the USA?

They take away food stamps and renew this. Obvious he’s more interested in those that will vote

Well some good news at least. Nice to hear.

30 minute segment on impeachment followed by this story for 3 seconds then back to another 30 minute segment on impeachment. Yea, there’s no msm bias 😒

Am I the ONLY person hear Matt Gaetz tell Chris Cuomo that he has carried messages for the president outside of normal channels? We need his phone records!

Why?

The REPUBLICAN controlled SENATE. Meanwhile the democrat controlled House seek to impeach the president who creates lowest black unemployment in history, highest black wages ever, prison reform, and economic renewal in black neighborhoods.

That is truly racist !

There must have been a quid pro quo in there for MoscowMitch to withhold funding and put on the squeeze. What did he get?

Did I do that?!!!

Baby World News 5 Nancy Pelosi is U.S. Democratic Party has officially announced it will begin the process of writing an impeachment motion against President Donald Trump over the Ukraine scandal.

Baby World News 4 CNN reports the North's missile launch site in Dongchang-ri, west of Seoul, has been spotted preparing to resume 'engine testing.'

Baby World News 3 The U.S. Army's 1st Infantry Division's 2nd Fighter Brigade will be normally rotated in South Korea this winter.

Baby World News 2 Walter Sharp, former commander of U.S. Forces Korea, says his ally South Korea has spent enormous amounts of money on U.S. reconstruction and its economy, and Trump is wrong.

Legalize marijuana and use the money to send blacks to hbcus for free and upgrade the campus

Reparations?

Baby World News 1~ As Trump entered the phase of impeachment, he attacked the Democrats with a high-pitched tone. Let's move on with the impeachment. We were full of confidence that the Senate Republicans would support me.

If one group of schools get it they all should

When people on this thread never look at

Nothing should be 'permanently funded' especially something that only benefits a small segment of the population. Open invitation to waste the money they are given, no responsibility to spend it appropriately.

Aren't all black colleges racist?

So the majority funds the minority? 😕

Lowering the standards? How far does White Guilt go? Whites did not invent slavery nor siestas, instead whites have been busy building. Who is going to stop huge asteroids from taking out mankind? Instead the whinners are preventing progress they can not comprehend.

Isn't that racist and bias?

Why can't they also just pass a bill that funds the government? Doyourjobs

Those racist Republicans, amirite?

Looking for votes in 2020

Well well

Why are we funding anything that is exclusive to one race ! Talk about racist

Great news

But republicans are racist

This is not a come up. This is NOT reparations for FBA DOAS. Including everybody else won't work. NOREPARATIONSNOVOTE NODEMACRATS FBA DOAS NOREPARATIONSNOVOTE Tangibles2020

Republican always do their homework instead the left that had being losing time for the last 3 years trying to overthrow king trump without any luck .

Here we go with the AllUniversitiesMatter crowd…

Is this the same senate Trump says isn’t doing anything?

Question: are non minority , aka ALL, colleges funded at the same level? Why do we allow this NON-EQUAL treatment?

Thank you GOP 💯❤️🙌🏼

What are they funding

That was being delayed also until Trump got his slaves I mean housekeepers in line.

GOP Senate

That is some good news! Mitch is finally doing his job!

Why

Wow. The senate actually does something productive? Who knew? MoscowMitchMcConnell

MaxMasseyTV 🤔 Really

Great!MY KIDS GOING TO COLLEGE FOR FREE!!!...o wait they're not black

Explicit racism

I'm surprised the Republican controlled Senate passed this

Tax payer funded, not senate funded. Understand the difference.

OMG! The Senate Lead by senatemajldr aka MoscowMitch Actually Did Something?! Its Great They Did But, a Rarity, None the Less!

Wow, MoscowMitch actually did something. Maybe after the next election we can have a POTUS and senatemajldr that is willing to do something for the rest of us so this type of bill is unnecessary.

Wow, CNN actually reported some real news-not spin!

Are those colleges available to illegals and Asians?

Great

Biden says he will not appear at Senate impeachment trial despite demands from TrumpA top White House official said Wednesday that Pres. Trump is demanding a full trial, featuring live witnesses in the Senate chamber if and when the House sends over articles of impeachment to the Senate later this month. He just realized how serious the whole thing is? So is he going to testify in his own defense or allow first hand witnesses like Pompeii, mulvaney and Giuliani? If not he’s still just a bag of farts! Democrats realizing they opened a can of worms they don't control. LMAO. Can't wait to see the witness list.
