White has historically been the color associated with the women’s suffrage movement.
“As reproductive rights remain under attack, the Pro-Choice Caucus and all House Democrats remain united,” said Co-Chairs Diana DeGette (Co-01) and Barbara Lee (CA-12). “We are proud to welcome President Biden to the Capitol today with reproductive freedom champions by our side, and we look forward to continuing to work together with the Biden-Harris Administration to do what the people elected us to do: protect and expand reproductive freedom and abortion access across the country, for every person in America.”
The caucus held a press conference outside of the U.

Colorado Congressmen Ed Perlmutter (D-co) and Jason Crow (D-co) have re-introduced a Resolution in the U.S. House of Representatives to designate July 20 as “National Heroes Day” to honor the nation’s everyday heroes.
The campaign to delegate July 20th as National Heroes Day has received the support of several notable filmmakers and celebrities in the entertainment industry and as well as some of this country’s longtime philanthropic leaders, such as Anthony Kennedy Shriver, Founder, Chairman and CEO of Best Buddies and Eric Zahren, President of the 117 year-old Carnegie Hero Fund.
The resolution was first introduced last year on July 20 and sought to also recognize the everyday heroes across the 50 states who came to the aid of others during the Covid pandemic.
“The Carnegie Hero Fund is proud to support the National Heroes Day initiative and its efforts to shine a light on everyday heroes all around us,” said Hero Fund President Eric Zahren.

Second Update, 1:26 p.m. Pt: Democrats wrapped up their arguments against Donald Trump with about five hours remaining in their allotted time, but lead impeachment manager Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-md) made clear why they didn’t go longer.
“We need to exercise our common sense about what happened here,” Raskin said, arguing that the evidence against the former president was overwhelming that he incited the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.
It was clear that many of the senators were growing a bit weary as the day went on. At one point 12 Republicans weren’t even in the chamber, but off in the cloakroom, as they are allowed to do. Sen. Josh Hawley (R-mo), who himself has faced criticism for encouraging the Capitol protest, again sat not on the floor of the Senate but in the gallery. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-sc) at one point tapped a pencil on his desk.

We’ve gone for just over two weeks now without hearing much of anything from Donald Trump: Banned from Twitter, absent from Fox & Friends call ins, the former president has been unusually low key at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.
That will change on Tuesday, when he will once again be at the center of the media spotlight, even if he’s not a presence live and in person.
For only the fourth time in American history, the Senate will start an impeachment trial of a president — and it will be a first for a former commander in chief.
Broadcast networks are planning special reports, while cable and streaming services networks will provide complete feeds of the proceedings.
It was just over a year ago that Trump was acquitted in the Senate for his first impeachment, and there is every expectation that will be the same verdict again.

As the sponsor of a bill that would ban large magazines, Rep. Diana DeGette (D-co) "doesn't know how guns work," Steve Doocy asserted on Fox & Friends on Thursday. Criticizing DeGette for not having her facts straight, the hosts further went after DeGette for her controversially remarking, "You'd probably be dead anyway" in response to an elderly man's question during a gun control forum.

Last week, Colorado and Washington became the first states to legalize marijuana for recreational use -- a landmark vote that is without historical precedent and one that dealt a huge blow to a decades-long drug war in the United States.
So, how did it happen? Well, it's certainly due to changing popular attitudes about the drug as well as the hard work of many people at multiple marijuana reform groups across the nation -- including one person in particular who was at the forefront of Colorado's marijuana legalization effort for years: Mason Tvert, co-director of the Campaign to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol, the group behind Colorado's marijuana legalizing Amendment 64.
On Friday, Tvert dropped by "Real Time with Bill Maher" to discuss the big victory for marijuana.
"You had a big victory, how do you feel, did you get high?" Vocal marijuana reform supporter Bill Maher said to Tvert who responded with,...

That’s the latest angle on Dish Network‘s case for the technology, which CEO Charlie Ergen made this morning at a congressional hearing on the Future of Video. With AutoHop, parents don’t have to worry that when their kids watch TV “they have no choice but to see commercials for junk food and alcohol,” he told the Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Communications and Technology. He says the feature simply automates what consumers can already do with a DVR. Broadcasters believe that “the consumer does not have a right to skip a commercial or record a show. We’ll fight the good fight for the consumer.” Gigi Sohn of activist group Public Knowledge sided with Ergen. “The public has a right to record what they want to record,” she says. AutoHop “turns three steps with a remote control into one, and consumers should have the right to do that.
