Drum roll, please. We have big news. No, it’s not that House Republicans are finally releasing their long-awaited tax plan later this morning that doesn't change Obamacare's individual mandate. The plan does have a permanent corporate tax cut and is expected to collapse seven tax brackets into four, with the highest rate remaining at 39.6% and a new bottom rate of 12%. And no, the big news is not Donald Trump’s attempt to cancel the diversity visa lottery or his tweeting that the suspect in yesterday’s terror attack should get the death penalty. His claims about the country’s immigration process were riddled with falsehoods and sent sycophants into the echo chamber touting the same alternative facts. We won’t relitigate them here. We’d rather talk about how Latinas are among the most adversely affected by the gender pay gap, getting paid just 54 cents for every dollar earned by white, non-Hispanic men. It’s #LatinaEqualPayDay today! But keep the drum roll going, please. We haven’t yet gotten to the big news. And no, it’s not the Houston Astros winning the World Series last night, resulting in shortstop Carlos Correa treating us all to a beautiful moment when he proposed to his girlfriend amidst cheering fans. Though we all needed a moment of love this week. The big news is this: Beyoncé! She is joining the new cast of The Lion King voicing Nala, the childhood friend-turned-love interest of Simba, voiced by Donald Glover. If you take a more “hakuna matata” approach to this news, have some Lemonade. The Beyhive is buzzing. We’re kicking off the second day of Native American Heritage Month with this...

Day Two at the Obama Summit
On the final day of the inaugural Obama Foundation’s international summit, Michelle Obama took the stage in a conversation with poet Elizabeth Alexander. During her remarks, FLOTUS44 discussed her modest upbringing in Chicago, her time in the White House, and the need for leaders to be mindful of what they say on social media. "You don’t tweet every thought," she said, drawing applause. “I’m not talking about anybody in particular. Tweeting and social media, that is a powerful weapon. ... You need to think and spell it right and have good grammar. Every word you utter has consequences,” she continued. Common also took the stage on Wednesday telling playwright and actor Lin-Manuel Miranda that he only recently began performing in prisons and working for policy efforts to address mass incarceration because an acquaintance pushed him to do more. Equal Justice Initiative’s Bryan Stevenson told attendees that in order to make a change, they have to get closer to the poor and the disabled, and they have to be willing to do uncomfortable things. Former President Barack Obama popped in on one of Wednesday morning’s breakout sessions, sitting quietly and mostly unnoticed in the back while a panel of five discussed ways to get younger and non-traditional residents interested in public service. At one point, he stood along the back wall listening intently, gripping his coffee cup. It wasn’t until panel moderator Caroline Kennedy asked if anyone in the back of the room would like to speak that the former South Side community activist jumped into the conversation. “Politics matters,” he said. “The question then becomes, ‘How do we change the culture so that people are not turned off by politics but rather turned on by being engaged in politics?’ And how do we get some of the best talent to say, at some point, this is an option for them?” Closing out the conference was Chance the Rapper, the National, Gloria Estefan, and Aziz Ansari took the stage to introduce a surprise performance by rapper Nas. See Michelle Obama’s full conversation with Elizabeth Alexander here.

Obama Releases Video for ACA Open Enrollment
As open enrollment for the Affordable Care Act began on Wednesday, former President Barack Obama released a short video encouraging people to sign up for insurance on the exchanges set up by his signature legislation. “It only takes a few minutes,” Obama says in the video, “and the vast majority of people qualify for financial assistance. In fact, eight in 10 people this year can find plans for $75 a month or less. That’s cheaper than a lot of cell phone plans.” In order for the markets to work correctly, a wide mix of people need to sign up for insurance. If only sick people do so, premiums will shoot up and become unaffordable. Meanwhile, Donald Trump cut the enrollment period in half, from 12 weeks to just six, and sharply reduced funding for groups that help people sign up for coverage. See the video here.

Closing Arguments Today in Menéndez Trial
After more than two months of testimony, the jury in the bribery trial of Senator Bob Menéndez (D-NJ) is set to hear closing arguments today. The Senator is charged with accepting gifts from Florida eye doctor Salomón Melgen in exchange for using his political influence. The two have known each other for 25 years. Prosecutors have sought to show that Melgen lavished Menéndez with flights on his private jet and luxury vacations so Menéndez would help him with issues including a $9 million Medicare reimbursement dispute. Defense attorneys contend Menéndez and Melgen were longtime friends who weren't involved in bribery and that Menéndez was focused on policy issues when he met with executive branch officials. Neither man testified in the trial. On Wednesday, U.S. District Judge William Walls told jurors they could find Menéndez guilty even if they didn’t believe specific gifts were tied to specific actions. The judge also promised he would honor a juror’s vacation plans, which means jurors would have to reach a verdict within four days of the start of deliberations. Walls told attorneys there would be no problem if jurors are able to reach a verdict by November 10th. If not, Walls would be forced to replace the juror with one of five alternates and deliberations would have to begin all over again. If Menéndez is convicted and steps down or is voted out by a two-thirds majority, outgoing Republican NJ Governor Chris Christie could appoint a replacement, which would alter the makeup of the Senate.

CHC Delays Vote on Curbelo Membership
The Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) last week was expected to invite Congressman Carlos Curbelo (R-FL) to join their Caucus. However, that vote never happened. Instead, CHC members voted 19-8 to delay the vote to even invite Curbelo. Two members told the Washington Examiner that the Caucus got ahead of its membership. One CHC member said they were “going to go ballistic” had Curbelo been voted in. Some of the resistance to welcoming Curbelo is related to the fact that he hasn’t wholeheartedly supported a clean DREAM Act. The tension over whether or not to let Curbelo join is a dramatic reversal from what CHC Chair Congresswoman Michelle Luján Grisham (D-NM) told McClatchy last week. Curbelo was certainly expected to be welcomed, Grisham said, and more GOP members would be invited shortly thereafter. The CHC used to be bipartisan, but the Republican members left in the late 1990s over policy differences, and in 2003, formed their own group, the Congressional Hispanic Conference. Currently, the Congressional Hispanic Caucus includes 31 Dems, and touts itself as a forum for Hispanic members to coalesce around and advance priorities of the Latino community. More here.

Gutiérrez Leads Charge to File New Articles of Impeachment Against Donald Trump
A group of Dems led by Congressman Luis Gutiérrez (D-IL) will file new articles of impeachment against Donald Trump before Thanksgiving, according to The Hill. Gutiérrez said that the group is working with constitutional scholars to solidify their case. It’s unclear which members are joining Gutiérrez in the effort, although an aide has identified Congressman Steve Cohen (D-TN) as one of them. Said Gutiérrez, “It is clear to us that he is unfit to be president of the United States of America. I assure you we will not leave you lacking for reason.” The Beat DC will keep you posted as this develops. Read more here.

Castro and O’Rourke Call on DHS to #FreeRosa
Earlier this week, Congressmen Joaquín Castro (D-TX) and Beto O’Rourke (D-TX) sent a letter to Homeland Security Acting Secretary Elaine Duke, calling for the immediate release of 10-year-old Rosa María Hernández, an undocumented immigrant with cerebral palsy. Hernández was detained last week by Customs and Border Protection agents after receiving emergency gallbladder surgery. “Rosa Maria’s health requires immediate attention, and her safe return to her parents and doctors is necessary to ensure her well-being. No child should have to endure what she is experiencing,” said Castro. “Any plans for Rosa Maria’s removal from the United States should be cancelled and any proceedings against her should be administratively closed based on humanitarian grounds. The Trump Administration needs to focus its resources on targeting dangerous criminals, not ill children. The President’s callous immigration policies continue to reach new, inhumane lows.” See their letter here.

Lawmakers Cross the Aisle to Propose a Path to Legal Status for Some TPS Recipients
Congressman Carlos Curbelo (D-FL) introduced the Extending Status Protection for Eligible Refugees with Established Residency Act, which provides a pathway to permanent legal status for certain Haitians, Nicaraguans, Salvadorans, and Hondurans who arrived in the United States before January 13, 2011. Congresswomen Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL) and Frederica Wilson (D-FL), along with Congressman Alcee Hastings (D-FL), also signed on to the legislation, which applies to participants in the Temporary Protected Status program. The Trump administration faces multiple looming deadlines for extending the Temporary Protected Status program in Haiti, Nicaragua, El Salvador and Honduras. Haiti’s status is set to expire in January 2018, and then-Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly in May extended TPS for six months instead of the usual 18, but hinted the program would not last long. The bill introduced by this trio differs from a proposal by Congresswoman Yvette Clarke (D-NY), which would extend TPS to Haitians who entered the country before November 4, 2016, after Hurricane Matthew hit the island in October of that year. Only Haitians who arrived before January 2011 are currently eligible for TPS. More here.

Hur Tapped for U.S. Attorney
On Wednesday, Donald Trump announced seven candidates he plans to nominate for U.S. Attorney. The WH says the candidates share the President’s vision for “Making America Safe Again.” Of the seven individuals, one was a person of color. Robert K. Hur, 44, has been tapped to lead the Maryland U.S. Attorney’s office, where he was a longtime federal prosecutor. If confirmed, Hur will take over one of the country’s busiest U.S. attorney’s offices, which has a reputation for handling sophisticated cases involving political corruption, white-collar fraud and vast gang conspiracies that drive violent crime. Hur has worked closely with Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein at DOJ and was previously a Special Assistant to now-FBI Director Christopher A. Wray. A graduate of Harvard College and Stanford Law School, Hur started his career as a law clerk to then-Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist. More here.

Women of Color Sitting at the Helm
Forbes’ annual list of the Most Powerful Women in the World is comprised of diverse women who are driving change across corporate America. “Cultivating diversity isn’t about taking a gender count when you walk into a room,” says General Motors CEO Mary Barra, who at No. 5 is the highest-ranking business leader on this year’s list. “It’s about valuing all ideas and building teams with different backgrounds and experiences.” Rosalind Brewer, the new COO at Starbucks and former CEO of Sam’s Club moved up this year from No. 57 to No. 44 on the list. Brewer is the first woman, and first African American, to be COO at Starbucks. Other names on the list include: Pepsico CEO Indra Krishnamurthy Nooyi, Sovico Holdings Chair and Co-Founder Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao, and Easa Saleh Al Gurg Group Managing Director Raja Easa Al Gurg, among others.

Former Congressional Black Caucus Executive Director Launches Firm
Podesta Group Principal Paul Brathwaite on Wednesday announced that he will be leaving the firm to launch his own: Federal Street Strategies. “It has been a long-term goal of mine to try my hand at running a small business and I am looking forward to the opportunity,” Brathwaite said. Paul began his lobbying career after serving for six years as the Executive Director of the Congressional Black Caucus under three chairs: Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-TX), Elijah Cummings (D-MD), and Melvin Watt (D-NC). During his tenure, Paul was affectionately known as the 44th member of the then-43-member caucus. During the Clinton administration, Paul served as Deputy Assistant Secretary of Labor for the Employment Standards Administration under Secretary Alexis Herman. The Delaware State University graduate earned both a law and master’s degree in public policy from Duke University. The announcement that Tony Podesta would be stepping down from Washington power lobby shop the Podesta Group sent shock waves through DC and beyond. Stay tuned to The Beat DC for more movement.

April Ryan Asks Does WH Think Slavery Was Wrong
During yesterday’s White House press briefing, reporter April Ryan had a tense exchange with Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Following up on WH Chief of Staff John Kelly saying a lack of ability to compromise sparked the Civil War, Ryan asked, "Compromise. The issue of compromise. What is the definition of compromise as it relates to slavery and the Civil War?" Huckabee Sanders quickly jumped in, saying, "Look, I'm not going to get in and relitigate the Civil War like I told you yesterday. I think I've addressed the concerns that a lot of people had and the questions that you had. I'm not going to relitigate history here.” Ryan continued, "I'm asking a question, Sarah, seriously … The question is, does this administration believe, does the president believe slavery was wrong? And before you answer, Mary Frances Berry, a historian, said in 1860 there was a compromise. The compromise was to have Southern states keep slavery but the Confederacy fired on Fort Sumter that caused the Civil War. And because of the Civil War, what happened? The North won." Huckabee replied, "I think it is disgusting and absurd to suggest that anyone inside of this building would support slavery.” See the exchange here.

Just 4.8 Percent of TV Writers Are Black
A new study has found that the presence of Black writers in the room directly affects how television shows handle racial subjects, including the criminal justice system. Color of Change commissioned UCLA Dean of Social Sciences and African American Studies Darnell Hunt to write Race in the Writers’ Room: How Hollywood Whitewashes the Stories That Shape America. The report examined 234 broadcast, cable, and streaming scripted series from the 2016-17 season, and found that two-thirds of the shows had no Black writers. In all, Black writers accounted for just 4.8 percent of the 3,817 staffed scribes. Those writers were predominantly on shows led by Black showrunners, who represented just 5.1% of the pool. No Hulu series employed a Black writer, while every show on AMC, Showtime, and TBS had either zero or just one Black writer; the same for 23 of 25 shows on CBS, and 14 of 15 shows on CW. According to the report, having just one Black writer in the room is seldom enough to affect change. More here.

President Michelle Obama
According to a new Zogby Analytics survey, former First Lady Michelle Obama is at the top of the list of Democratic choices with 22% support, a huge sign of support for somebody who has never run for office. She is followed by former VP Joe Biden at 19% and Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) at 18 %. The rest, including Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, and Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe don’t break single digits. Obama ranks first or second with women, millennials, and minorities. She is first among women, receiving 25% to 21% for Sanders and 17% for Biden. Sanders leads with younger voters but Obama wins 28% for a solid second. She is also tops among Hispanics at 26% and African Americans at 26%. FLOTUS44 has stated on numerous occasions that she will never run for office. More here.

DNC Hit Over Hiring Preference Email Stating Preference for Non-'Cisgender Straight White Males'
A DNC staffer has come under fire for an email with job openings in which she wrote that she “personally would prefer that you not forward to cisgender straight white males, as they are already in the majority.” DNC’s Data Service Manager Madeleine Leader wrote the email, which the DNC denied was sanctioned in any way by the organization. “The email in question was not authorized by the DNC nor was it authorized by senior leadership," DNC spokesman Michael Tyler said in a statement. "All hiring decisions at the DNC are made consistent with the DNC’s commitment to equal employment opportunity and hiring an inclusive and talented staff that reflects the coalition of the Democratic Party, because our diversity is our greatest strength.” Conservative media was quick to jump on the issue.

Educator Wants to Leave the Classroom for Congress
A North Carolina educator has thrown his hat into the ring for Congress. Thirty-six-year-old Beniah McMiller is aiming to unseat first-term Congressman Ted Budd (R-NC). This is McMiller’s first shot at an elected office and he says if he wins, he’d be a strong voice for people of all political parties. “Our campaign is not about a party but solely doing right by people,” he said. “I’m running because every time I look around I don’t see very much advocating for working-class people. It seems as though every time I turn on the TV, working-class and middle-class people are being left behind.” McMiller currently teaches at Mitchell Community College in Statesville, NC. The 2004 Johnson C. Smith University graduate went on to earn his MBA in 2007 from the University of Phoenix. He says he first decided to run for Congress in January and has been campaigning in the months since. But filing to run doesn’t begin until next year. More here.

American Airlines CEO Meets With Women’s March Organizer and NAACP President
Remember when we told you about the incident between American Airlines and Women’s March organizer Tamika D. Mallory? Mallory accused an American pilot of racism when he ordered her removed from a plane in Miami after a dispute over her seat assignment. On Wednesday, American Airlines CEO Doug Parker met with her, NAACP President Derrick Johnson, National Coalition of Black Civic Participation Melanie Campbell, and others. “We had a full and frank dialogue, but words are no substitute for action," Johnson said in a statement. "The NAACP looks forward to continuing its work with American Airlines to ensure that African-American customers are not subjected to racially discriminatory treatment.” Mallory stated, “There is a clear problem at American Airlines as evidenced by the videos and emails sent to me, particularly from women of color, that had been removed from planes and blatantly discriminated against. We hope that American Airlines will become a leader in setting industry standards that protect the rights of all people and provide one level of service for all passengers." More here.

Corrine Brown Attempts to Delay Her Sentencing ... Again
With her sentencing hearing looming on November 16th, former Congresswoman Corrine Brown’s attorneys have filed a second appeal to delay her hearing. Citing what they feel is an inadequate pre-sentencing report, the motion filed by her lawyers says the report does not provide a full picture of Brown's health, charitable work, and data about comparable sentences nationwide. Her attorneys say she is undergoing medical testing and evaluation and that “additional suspected medical conditions have not yet been fully diagnosed,” and that her mental and emotional state were not fully examined in the report. They also, once again, make the case that damage Brown’s home suffered from Hurricane Irma limits their ability to mount a defense. The defense is asking the sentencing pushed to February 2018.

Members Want Answers About Reports of Increased Detention of Pregnant Women
Congresswomen Lucille Roybal-Allard (D-CA) and Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), the co-chairs of the Women’s Working Group on Immigration Reform, led 68 of their fellow members in a letter to Department of Homeland Security Acting Secretary Elaine Duke expressing concern about increased detention rates of pregnant immigrant women and recent miscarriages in detention centers across the U.S. “While it is unavoidable that some women who come into Customs and Border Protection (CBP) or ICE custody will be pregnant, especially in light of the high rates of sexual assault women and girls experience on their journey, attorneys and advocates are reporting a marked increase in the number of pregnant women with serious medical concerns coming to their attention in recent months, and a seeming shift in the agency’s willingness to release pregnant women once the pregnancy is identified,” their letter states.

Booker Wants Feds to Talk About Corporate Concentration and its Impact on Labor
On Wednesday, Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) raised concerns to the DOJ and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) about the rising tide of corporate concentration and its impact on labor markets and wages. In a letter to Assistant Attorney General Makan Delrahim and Acting FTC Chairman Maureen K. Ohhausen, Booker warned about the growing trend in “monopsony” power -- in which one or more companies become so dominant in an area or sector that they have the power to limit worker mobility and depress wages. “It appears that – despite having a clear mandate to promote competition across the economy and extensive enforcement tools at your disposal…your Agencies have not prioritized the responsibility to ensure that workers have meaningful choices that allow them to fairly bargain among potential employers,” Booker wrote. “A firm that has market power when purchasing inputs or hiring workers – an employer with monopsony power – will face strong incentives to employ fewer workers, at lower wages, than they would in a competitive labor market.” Get more here.

Lawson and Soto Ask FL Governor to Extend SNAP Hurricane Exemptions
Florida Congressmen Al Lawson (D) and Darren Soto (D) sent a letter to FL Governor Rick Scott (R) asking him to extend the temporary lift of time limits placed on the benefits of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) recipients after Hurricane Irma. Without the Governor’s consent, SNAP recipients in Florida between 18 and 50 years old, who are not disabled and do not have dependents, will be limited to SNAP benefits for three months in any three-year period when not employed or in a work or training program. “[Y]our Administration ceased enforcement of this time limit for the months of September and October in the 48 FEMA declared disaster counties throughout the State,” said Lawson. “This move allowed the most vulnerable of Floridians to rebuild their lives without the worry of losing their SNAP benefit, and this policy must be continued.” Soto said, “Many Floridians are still incurring disaster-related expenses, from repairing property or loss of income. While recovering and making ends meet, families should first and foremost be food secured.” Scott has yet to announce an extension. More here.
