The snowed in sex videosnew and long-awaited $20 bill design featuring Harriet Tubman won't be rolling out until at least 2028, according to Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin.
The news dropped during a hearing on Wednesday in front of the House Financial Services Committee, Mnuchin telling Rep. Ayanna Pressley that the new $20 bill probably won't hit the streets for almost a decade.

The (correct and good) decision to put Tubman on the $20 was announced back in April 2016 by then-Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew, alongside plans to include other historic women on redesigns on the backs of the $10 and $5 bills. These new bills were to debut in 2020 to mark the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to vote.
Mnuchin's refusal to answer, while infuriating, isn't surprising, sadly. Immediately after Lew's 2016 announcement, then-candidate Trump called the decision "pure political correctness" and suggested shifting Tubman to the little used $2 bill. Mnuchin followed that in 2017 with words that were as equally vague as Wednesday's statement.
Pressley was not at all impressed with Mnuchin's non-answer.

Neither were many supporters of the Tubman $20 bill, many of who couldn't help but point out the problematic contradictions in what Trump supports instead of Tubman on a piece of paper, like his ongoing support of Confederate General and traitor to his country, Robert E. Lee.

In more positive news, a new mural of Tubman was recently unveiled at the Harriet Tubman Museum & Educational Center in Cambridge, Maryland and led to this stunning photo of a young girl reaching out to touch Tubman's open hand.

Whatever the Trump administration decides to do with the Tubman $20, that mural photo and Tubman's contributions to America will remain priceless.
