Capitol Hill is reeling after one of the most historic weeks in Washington, D.C. that saw two major Supreme Court rulings, the first gun deal in 28 years and hearings related to Jan. 6, 2021.
- Roe v. Wade being overturned has triggered strong emotions on Capitol Hill.
- Legislative fights will continue when lawmakers return from July 4 recess.
WASHINGTON–Friday morning, Congresswoman Madeleine Dean put on her orange sneakers and fastened an orange ribbon to her lapel, proudly wearing the color that symbolizes ending gun violence.
The Pennsylvania Democrat was excited to cast her vote for a bipartisan gun deal – a vote she calls the proudest of her life. A vote the mother and grandmother believed would save children’s lives. Dean cried tears of joy at the thought of breaking a 30-year stagnation in public safety.
