....The United States Commission on Civil Rights, a bipartisan agency charged with advising the president and Congress on civil rights matters, unanimously approved a comprehensive two-year probe into the degree to which current budgets and staffing levels allow civil rights offices to perform their functions within the administration, said the agency in a statement.

The commission, created under the Civil Rights Act and funded by Congress, expressed specific worry in seven agencies under the president, including the Department of Education and the Department of Justice.

The investigation will also look into the departments of Labor, Housing and Urban Development, Health and Human Services, Environmental Protection Agency and the Legal Services Corporation which are all expected to slash budget and personnel that monitor civil rights.
While the commission does not have the ability to enforce the findings of its investigation, it will present the final report to Congress at the end of 2019. After that, its up to legislators to act.

The Gop is the worst of the parties. Always has been . It’s only goal is the money, they are so corrupt.
At least some of the Democrats fight for their principles, really f-ed up principles but principles none the less.
This part of the swamp hasnt been drained yet? Shocking!
Do congress even vote on whether or not these phony investigations by these biased commissions get funded? We need to see who is supporting this anti-Trump agenda from within the Republican party (individuals that we currently don’t even suspect).
De-fund these racist moron political shills! 2 year investigation? Are witch-hunts de rigour nowadays?
End the “Civil Rights” commission. We have more than enough “civil rights” laws, and as individuals we have the courts should we think those laws were denied in some matter affecting us.
Who is funding this? Defund immediately!
*****************
It is a part of the Federal gov’t thus the funding comes via the Federal Budget.
Shut it down. We have no more protection money to hand out. Let Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos and Mark Cuban finance these grifters. The Middle Class is tapped out.
Yet ANOTHER huge waste of tax payers money. Can’t those people find meaningful employment somewhere in another country?
2 years of wilda$$, unsubstantiated claims and breathless press releases/announcements designed to maximize media hysteria and sow doubt about Trump. Typical leftwingnut trash.
trump needs to defund
another prime example of US taxpyers funding our enemies.
But the moles never get whacked in this game, just ignored. Try, try again. Rust never sleeps. Better luck this time.
