House passes bill making Juneteenth a federal holiday

In a resounding bipartisan vote, the House of Representatives passed a bill Wednesday making Juneteenth, the day commemorating the official end of slavery in the United States, a federal holiday.

The final vote on the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act was 415-14, and the bill now heads to President Biden’s desk for signature into law.

Sounds like senate already voted too? I didnt read the article.

Or is this something that only needs one house?

“Juneteenth” is one of those stupid combination words like “chillax”.

It passed in the Senate by unanimous consent.

It makes sense because the records dont agree when exactly it happened

Great. I'm sure it will pacify the race hustling cultural terrorists.

Hooray .... They (who care) have celebrated this already like for 40 + years with or without the approval of government. I don't know if this is all a great victory as you seem to let on. It's no secret to anyone.

Cool. Another Holiday.

Don’t know why it needs to be a federal holiday but no big deal really.

The fact that it took this long to have a federal holiday celebrating the end of slavery is embarrassing.

The reviews from Tucker are in. He's a huge fan. Psyche!

Looks like a real representative cross section of America opposed the bill.

He's an idiot clown. It makes me laugh watching posters on here celebrate his ratings. " We are all idiots." Especially on this. I mean come on. People aren't advocating it replacing July 4th. So stop. This should be proof he's a damn clown. No better then Cuomo or anyone at CNN.

Democrats holding other democrats accountable?? Yea, no. That means they’ll have to actually admit there are crap people in their party and that’s just not something the “morally superior” would ever do.

Neither side holds their own party accountable which is part of the problem.

Ghetto slang has finally reached its peak.

That being said, this is just a quick attempt to revitalize the waning BLM movement since their usefulness to democrats, much like a cheap harbor freight tool, is gone.

Looks like a real good cross section of the people who make Juneteeth even possible.

Ghetto slang from the 1860s?

It did. A whole nation in fact. No idea why people are fighting this.

It actually happened. Its American. It's a good thing. No idea why people want to divide the nation on celebrating the end of slavery. It's a good thing, quit complaining.

New things, to you, are scary. We get it.

Well, this doesn't sound racist at all.

In current US politics, if one side is happy, the other side has to be angry.
