Eric Holder Takes Fight to Wisconsin, Cory Booker Intros Opioid Bill, and Astros Players Skip WH Visit

Breaking this morning: Donald Trump has fired Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, who reportedly called the president a “f*cking moron” a few months ago, and replaced him with CIA Director Mike Pompeo. Gina Haspel will become the new Director of the CIA -- the first woman to hold the position. The news comes on the heels of complicated diplomatic movement with North Korea and a litany of national security issues. In a highly partisan report, Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee concluded their investigation of Russian meddling in the 2016 election, finding no evidence of collusion -- going against all U.S. intelligence agencies. They agreed with intel that Russia had interfered with the 2016 presidential election but differed on the intent -- they don’t believe the Russians were trying to help Trump. Meanwhile, adult film actress Stormy Daniels is offering to return the $130,000 payment she received from Donald Trump's attorney in exchange for dissolving a so-called "Hush Agreement." She made the offer as 60 Minutes producers are working on verifying claims she made in an interview with the news magazine about her alleged affair with Trump -- who won over 80% of the white evangelical vote -- which she says dates back to 2006. As heads are spinning from all the news in the nation’s capital, Donald Trump is off to California, where he will personally examine eight recently constructed prototypes for his proposed border wall, near the U.S.-Mexico border in San Diego. From there, he will make his rounds in the state, visiting a military base in LA and concluding with a fundraiser in Santa Monica. Back on the East Coast, the special election in Pennsylvania today is the latest test of whether Dems can make inroads in Trump country, as Democrat Connor Lamb squares off with GOP candidate Rick Saccone in a highly contested congressional race. In some sad news, the “mad flava” he kicked in our ear has gone silent. Rapper Craig Mack died Monday of heart failure at a hospital near his Walterboro, SC home. He was 46. And in Beyhive news, Beyoncé and JAY-Z officially announced the OTR II stadium tour -- a follow-up to their massive joint On the Run trek from 2014. “We be all night” writing The Beat DC. We woke up with our laptop wondering how the hell did this happen, oh baby. We’re kicking off the morning with this...

Cory Booker Intros Emergency Room Opioid Bill
Senator Cory A. Booker (D-NJ)
introduced legislation this week to help boost hospital resources in the fight against opioid addiction. Over 100 people die each day from opioid overdose, and 40% of these deaths involved a prescription opioid -- more than 200 million opioid prescriptions are written in the U.S. each year. As the first line of defense against the opioid epidemic, Booker says emergency rooms are well positioned to be laboratories of new innovations and procedures to combat the crisis. However, because of the short-term nature of the care they provide, ERs are often highly susceptible to doctor-shopping. The Alternatives to Opioids in the Emergency Department Act would establish a demonstration program to test alternative pain management protocols to limit the use of opioids in hospital emergency departments. The legislation would provide grant funding to build these programs. “To combat this public health crisis we need to invest in promising, innovative models. Our bipartisan bill, built on the success of a program in New Jersey, would not only help prevent addiction by reducing the number of opioid prescriptions written in emergency rooms, but it would also help us better understand safe and effective alternatives to prescribing opioids,” said Booker. He’s joined in the bicameral legislation by Senators Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), Michael Bennet (D-CO), and Cory Gardner (R-CO), as well as Congressmen Bill Pascrell, Jr. (D-NJ), David McKinley (R-WV), and Scott Tipton (R-CO), and Congresswoman Diana DeGette (D-CO). More here.
Tri-Caucus Members Call Out Ed Secretary Over School Ratings That Omit Minorities’ Performance
Education Secretary Betsy DeVos has been approving state plans that don’t specifically measure the performance of minority students, arguing there is no requirement for the plans to do so. Fifty House Democrats representing the Congressional Black Caucus, the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, and the Congressional Asian and Pacific American Caucus say that’s not so and have accused her of violating the 2015 Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). The law, passed on a bipartisan basis, contains several provisions that require states to collect data on the academic performance of minority students and include them in school-ratings systems. Those rating systems, in turn, help determine which schools require intervention or aid. Under plans submitted to the Education Department last year, 41 states crafted rating systems that omit the performance of some or all minority groups, such as Black students, children with disabilities, or English-language learners. DeVos has so far approved plans from 33 states, many of which include those rating systems. “Failure to implement ESSA’s equity guardrails that ensure all students matter in state accountability systems will rob our families and communities not only of accurate information on our students and the schools who serve them, but also of the meaningful resources necessary to make meaningful improvements,” the Tri-Caucus members wrote. See the full letter here.
Trump, Rubio Link Obama Policy Addressing School Discipline and Black Students to School Shooting
Black students have never been the culprits in the mass shootings that have shocked the nation’s conscience nor have minority schools been the targets. But this week, Donald Trump linked a Barack Obama-era guidance document that sought to rein in the suspensions and expulsions of minority students and ordered Education Secretary Betsy DeVos to examine the “repeal of the Obama administration’s ‘Rethink School Discipline’ policies.” The argument went that any relaxation of disciplinary efforts could let a killer slip through the cracks. Connecting an action to help minority students with mass killings in suburban schools burdens Black children with a largely white scourge. The issue of the discipline guidance was raised formally by Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) who, after seeing a flurry of conservative news media reports, wrote a letter to DeVos and AG Jeff Sessions questioning whether the guidance allowed the shooting suspect, Nikolas Cruz, to evade law enforcement and carry out the massacre at Florida’s Stoneman Douglas High last month. For the record, Cruz is white, and far from evading school disciplinary procedures, he had been expelled from Stoneman Douglas. More here.

Astro Players Skip WH Visit
The Houston Astros visited the White House on Monday but some of the team’s star players were no-shows. Shortstop Carlos Correa and closer Ken Giles didn't make the trip. According to the team, both Correa and Giles had a family obligation. Correa 
has been active in relief efforts from hurricanes that devastated Houston and his native Puerto Rico last fall. Carlos Beltrán, who is also Puerto Rican and retired from baseball after the team's World Series victory, also didn't show up. Beltrán had said skipping the White House has nothing to do with Trump, but he did say he was disappointed in the government's response to the hurricane-ravaged island. Astros pitcher Francis Martes also didn’t make the trip. The team was honored at the White House as they stood behind Donald Trump while he spoke in the East Room. More here.
National Geographic Admits to Racist Past
National Geographic asked a preeminent historian to investigate their coverage of people of color in the U.S. and abroad. Editors asked John Edwin Mason -- a University of Virginia professor specializing in the history of photography and the history of Africa -- to help with this examination. What he found, in short, was that until the 1970s, National Geographic all but ignored people of color who lived in the United States, rarely acknowledging them beyond laborers or domestic workers. Meanwhile, it pictured “natives” elsewhere as exotics, famously and frequently unclothed, happy hunters, noble savages -- every type of cliché. Unlike magazines such as Life, Mason said, National Geographic did little to push its readers beyond the stereotypes ingrained in white American culture. The magazine devoted its entire April 2018 issue to the topic of race and examined its own history. Mason raises questions not just from what’s in the magazine, but from what isn’t. More here.

Melissa Harris-Perry for Black Journos on Campus
Wake Forest University Professor and journalist Melissa Harris-Perry has partnered with American University Professor Sherri Williams for a new initiative aimed at training the next generation of Black journalists. “Black On Campus” is a national program for emerging storytellers aged 19–25 enrolled full time in two- or four-year colleges, universities, or graduate schools. Participants will work with Williams and Harris-Perry and will produce solo and joint pieces for publication by The Nation. “The Nation is where I first found a national platform. It is where I first wrote a monthly column, learned to marshall evidence, handle criticism, hone an argument, make a deadline, and build a voice over time. I will always consider The Nation my media homebase,” said Harris-Perry. Student journalists will team up with Harris-Perry and Williams in weekly virtual sessions to develop skills, pitch ideas, and craft long-term projects. More here.

Luján Grisham Advances Convincingly In Race for NM Governorship
Congressional Hispanic Caucus Chair Congresswoman Michelle Luján Grisham (D-NM) advanced as the top Democratic nominee for the Governor’s race in New Mexico at the party’s convention this past weekend. Luján Grisham won 66.9% of party delegate votes, guaranteeing her a spot on the June primary ballot; Albuquerque businessman Jeff Apodaca also secured a spot on the ballot by earning just above the 20% baseline, while the other candidates must secure more signatures to earn a spot. One contentious moment: Riley Del Rey -- a woman who alleged that she was fired from an internship in Luján Grisham’s office because she is transgender -- interrupted the Congresswoman’s speech to the convention before being escorted out. The Congresswoman’s office has denied the allegations. More on the convention here.
Fundraising By Latino Dems Sees Trump Bump
Bold PAC, the campaign arm for the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, has seen a significant influx of campaign cash come its way since Donald Trump began his presidential campaign. In an interview with BuzzFeed News, Bold PAC Chair Congressman Tony Cárdenas (D-CA) said that the PAC has already brought in close to $6.4 million and that they are on track to exceed $12 million for the 2018 November midterms. As a comparison, it raised $6.1 million during the 2016 election cycle -- which itself was a sixfold-plus increase from what it raised for 2014. Much of Bold PAC’s 2018 money has come in as small, online donations. CHC members credit the Trump administration and its policies for the accelerated growth. “I think we were incrementally getting bigger and bigger and I think that would have continued, but I think Trump helped accelerate [fundraising] and helped grow the list,” said Congressman Raúl Grijalva (D-AZ). PAC leadership credits the political environment as well as its growing in-house capacity -- they are in the midst of buying a headquarters and staffing up -- as reasons why the once-small group is becoming a fundraising force. Cárdenas also credits the group’s willingness to engage with candidates who may not fully stand with its tenets. “Bold PAC is watching what everybody does. We certainly would like everybody that we endorse to be 110% aligned with what Bold PAC’s values and what our tenets are, yet at the same time, Bold PAC is not going to be one of those organizations that says that, you know, you have to be 100% with us,” he said.

Eric Holder Brings Weight to Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Race
Eric Holder
is off to Wisconsin this week to campaign for Rebecca Dallet, a Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge who is aiming to become the state’s next Supreme Court Justice. Holder will do three events on Thursday and Friday, in Milwaukee and Madison. He’s doing a roundtable discussion with Black Leaders Organizing for Communities on his first stop, then he will head to the state capital for a Friday discussion on the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus to talk about activism and engagement in this year’s elections. His last stop will be a happy hour with Obama alumni and members of Organizing for Action, the Obama-inspired group his National Democratic Redistricting Committee (NDRC) has partnered with to push the redistricting election efforts. The visit is on the heels of a lawsuit filed by a nonprofit affiliated with the NDRC to try to force Republican Governor Scott Walker to call special elections in two vacant state legislature districts. Walker is fighting the lawsuit, and a hearing is scheduled for March 22nd. The NDRC has also identified Wisconsin as one of its target states to focus efforts on redistricting reform in the campaigns into November. More here.

The Senate is About to Make Discrimination Practices Easier for Mortgage Lenders
The Senate this week is poised to pass a bill that would weaken the government’s ability to enforce fair-lending requirements, making it easier for community banks to hide discrimination against minority mortgage applicants and harder for regulators to root out predatory lenders. The legislation rolls back banking rules passed after the 2008 financial crisis, including a little-known part of the Dodd-Frank Act that required banks and credit unions to report more detailed lending data so abuses could be spotted. The WaPo reports that the bipartisan plan, which is expected to pass, would exempt a whopping 85% of banks and credit unions from the new requirement, according to a Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) analysis of 2013 data. White House Budget Director Mick Mulvaney, named the CFPB's Acting Director last November, said the agency plans to reconsider the new requirements, and that banks would not be penalized for data collection errors in 2018. For decades, banks were required under the 1975 Home Mortgage Disclosure Act to report borrowers' race, ethnicity, and zip code so officials could tell whether lenders were serving the communities in which they are located and identify racist lending practices, such as redlining. But discriminatory practices continued, with the financial industry disproportionately targeting Black and Hispanic borrowers with subprime mortgages loaded with high fees and adjustable interest rates that skyrocketed after the stock market crashed in 2008.
