Today, I learned that the Department of Labor is suspending its affirmative action guidelines. For decades we have fought to ensure that minority and women owned businesses were given the opportunity to work on federal, state, and local projects...

I will be on @MSNBC tonight with @JoyAnnReid at 8 PM to discuss this and the President's statements regarding a potential quarantine.
