Barrett said she and her 17-year-old daughter Vivian cried after hearing about Floyd’s death.

“All of this was erupting, it was very difficult for her, we wept together in my room,” Barrett told the lawmakers, “and then it was also difficult for my daughter, Juliet, who is 10. I had to try to explain some of this to them.”

WASHINGTON – Bringing it to the real world, Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., plowed new ground at Amy Coney Barrett’s Supreme Court confirmation hearing on Tuesday when he asked the mother of two Black children about the impact of George Floyd’s death.

Barrett, guarded in her answers until this point, gave a candid reply.

In May, Floyd, a Black man, died after a white Minneapolis police officer pinned him down with a knee to his neck for nearly nine minutes. His death sparked a new chapter of racial reckoning in the U.S.

Barrett told Durbin after Floyd died she discussed with daughter Vivian, who is Black, “that there would be a risk to her brother or the sons she might have one day, of, that kind of brutality.”

Democrats know they are powerless to block the confirmation of Barrett, who President Donald Trump tapped for the Chicago-based 7^th Circuit Court

Soros is a billionaire philanthropist with a history of donating to liberal causes and campaigns. He has long been criticized by Republicans for his donations, to which Soros responded last year, saying he’s “proud of the enemies I have.”

“Their objections to Mr. Soros, 89, stem from his backing of liberal causes and super PACs that opposed Mr. Trump and supported Democratic candidates

Discussing her reaction to the George Floyd killing, Judge Amy Coney Barrett calls it an “obvious statement… that racism persists in our country.”

Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Amy Coney Barrett said the death of George Floyd was “very personal” for her family, telling senators on Tuesday she “wept” with her 17-year-old daughter over the Minneapolis man’s death in May.

Barrett’s voice started to crack as she discussed the footage of a Minneapolis officer kneeling on Floyd’s neck and the ripple effect it had on her seven children, including the two she adopted from Haiti.

Barrett, President Donald Trump’s nominee to the Supreme Court, had been asked whether she saw the video during her Senate confirmation hearing Tuesday.

In response to Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., Barrett described sitting with her teenage daughter, who is Black, and crying.

Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) used his time questioning Amy Coney Barrett to touch on a big topic in America and the law: racism.

During her Tuesday confirmation hearing, Durbin asked Barrett whether she had seen the video of George Floyd’s death at the hands of Minneapolis police, and how it affected her. “Given that I have two Black children, that was very, very personal for my family,” Barrett responded, referring to her two children adopted from Haiti.

Barrett’s husband Jesse had taken her boys on a camping trip, but Barrett was home with her 17-year-old daughter Vivian, who is Black, as “all of this was erupting,” she said. “It was very difficult for her; we wept together in my room,” Barrett continued. “To understand there would be a risk to her brother or the sons she might have one day, of that kind of brutality, has been an ongoing conversation.”

“Senator, as you might imagine, given that I have two black children, that was very, very personal for my family,” Barrett told Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), who had asked whether she had seen the video. The judge explained that while her husband had taken her sons on a camping trip that weekend, she and Vivian “wept together in my room” as outrage over Floyd’s death mushroomed and consumed the country.

Barrett noted that Floyd’s death and the ensuing unrest were also difficult for her 10-year-old daughter, Juliette, who is white.

“I had to try to explain some of this to them,” she told the committee. “I mean my children — to this point in their lives — have had the benefit of growing up in a cocoon where they have not yet experienced hatred or violence. And for Vivian to understand that there would be a risk to

Fed’s George: Framework ‘Less’ a Promise to Engineer Inflation Than ‘Tolerance’ of It | Investing News

(Reuters) – The U.S. Federal Reserve’s new framework for managing monetary policy shows a “tolerance” for higher inflation, but not necessarily a full-blown promise to engineer it, Kansas City Federal Reserve president Esther George said Thursday.

The Fed last month, as part of applying a new strategy to let inflation run higher in hopes of encouraging further job gains in a “hot” economy, said it would not raise rates until inflation has both reached its 2% target and is on track to “moderately exceed 2% for some time.”

“I interpret the revised consensus statement as a tolerance – and less as a promise to engineer,” higher inflation, George said, adding her voice to the disparate views among Fed officials about how the new framework will be applied in practice.

Minutes of that September meeting released on Wednesday showed a broad divergence of views on that front, and George, traditionally among
