"Today, I'm deeply honored to reintroduce HR 40, historic legislation to establish a federal commission to examine the lasting legacy of slavery, to develop reparations proposals for descendants of enslaved Africans," Pressley said in a Wednesday press conference.
Introduced in every Congress since 1989, the bill calls for the creation of a comprehensive policy blueprint to address historic and ongoing harms to Black communities, from the era of enslavement through the present day

Ayanna you should go after Sonny's money.
They are desperate, trying to go against Trump.
If she wants, I’ll help pay for her wig.
she thinks shes going to corner trump to speak on this so she can say trumps is racist and those ck people who voted for him were duped. She is garbage plain and simple DEI garbage
With USAID, EPA, Dept of Education all under the microscope, she’s gotta continue the Fed.gov printed money gravy train grift somehow.
Going nowhere.
She was so nervous about reparations failing all these years that she tore her hair out. And she failed to promote her idea of a black woman replacement for Mr. Clean products. Big setbacks.
Like I said a million times - I support reparations but only if Democrats pay it from their own pocket, not from taxes. They are the ones who started a Civil war to keep blacks enslaved, they are the ones who were against Civil rights, they started the KKK, Jim Crow laws, lynching,they started the welfare Holocaust
600,000 dead in the Civil War from combat and disease; mostly white soldiers.
“Affirmative” action.
LBJ’s “Great Society.”
Food stamps.
EBT cards.
Welfare.
Section 8 Housing.
“Crazy checks” given when your kids act up in school.
Etc. Etc.
Sorry, Ayanna, we already gave in spades (no pun intended).
Besides, all the slaves are long-since dead and so are their former owners. Move on!
TAXPAYER reparations.
RE- INTRODUCE???
WHEN before?
RESULT THEN???
Who had slaves? The Democrats.
There you go. Get your reparations from the Democrat Party.
I am 100% for DNA-verifiable black slave descendants to receive reparations from the Democrat Party, after first, all cumulative criminal damage totals, have been deducted, that have been committed by black people against white people, brown people, yellow people, red people, and other innocent black people.
You have a deal.
Isn’t she supposed to represent Americans, not just black Americans?
I’m tired of the “hate white American men” crap her and her party spews constantly.
We are going to cut your funds!
See how much the rest of the world wants to pay for your welfare lifestyle!
...add in reparations from Democrats to descendants of Union soldiers who were injured or killed fighting free the slaves from Democrats.
I am williing to supply her with a lifetime supply of paper bags
with precise cutouts for her eyeballs only.
Interesting timing for the 8Ball to revisit this utterly dead issue when DJT is hitting hard on waste fraud and abuse.
Must send some kind of signal to her supporters of her commitment to deliver free chitt no what the opposition says.
Everyone else just sees a raving Loon.
Please keep doing stuff like this. Please…
I say call their bluff.
Unless they are really stupid (which IS a real distinct possibility) they know that reparations are an absolute impossibility.
So I say put her on a committee to make a plan for reparations... a very big committee. To create a plan to present to the public.
Who would be eligible ,how much would they be eligible for, et cetera et cetera.
watch them argue among themselves over all the intricacies.
I bet hilarity ensues. (I love it when hilarity ensues)
If Speaker Johnson has sense enough to measure how the political winds are blowing post-election, he will quickly shuffle this off to the Rules Committee to gather dust. Presley has had her moment of bloviation while introducing the bill but doesn’t deserve a further platform for her anti-white diatribe in a regular committee hearing.
And
Pressley aint nuthin but a Hound Dawg, cryin all the time.
Sunny Hostin needs to get out her checkbook.
