It has been one year since the shooting of Breonna Taylor, a woman who was peacefully sleeping in her own home.
Meanwhile, the police officer who killed George Floyd has currently begun his trial.

The Covid relief bill, passed by the congress last week, contains roughly $100 billion in aid to families with dependent children, nearly doubling the current child tax credit.
