Barack Obama is expected to congratulate John Lewis, Georgia’s civil rights icon and congressman, at the funeral in Atlanta tomorrow, to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Obama awarded Lewis the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2011. The former U.S. president met for the first time with the respected civil rights leader while Obama was in law school. “When I elected president of the United States, I hugged him in the take-off booth before I was sworn in and told him he was only there for the sacrifices he made,” Obama said after Lewis’s death. “And over the years, he has never ceased to bring wisdom and encouragement to me, Michelle and our family. We will miss him deeply.”
More than hours after they began, the world’s historic Congressional hearing of the world’s largest generation corporations on antitrust considerations is over. Here are some highlights from the long day.
A federal ruling in New York has prevented the Trump administration from implementing its “public office” rule, which states that immigrants who use public benefits may be denied the green card.
Judge George Daniels said police were deterring immigrants from seeking coronavirus evidence and could threaten efforts to engage and take strong action against the pandemic. It prevented management from implementing the aptitude crisis policy.

California state lawmakers are considering a plan for $600 weekly unemployment to gain benefits for state citizens if Congress does not make a larger emergency investment this month.

Cuts to federal emergency aid would likely put more Californians at risk of wasting their homes and could worsen California’s homeless crisis, Ting said.
“The main way to prevent Covid from spreading is to keep other people at home,” he said.
Nancy Pelosi announced that members of Congress and its members should wear a mask when they are on the space floor.
The call comes after Louie Gohmert of Texas, one of many Republican lawmakers who have resisted wearing a mask in recent weeks, tested positive for Covid-19.
Florida is lately one of the main hot spots of coronavirus, with more than 451,000 cases.
The administration and Republicans have yet to reach an agreement with Congressional Democrats for an aid program. “We are still a long way off on many issues,” Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin told reporters in the capital. “We’re far from an agreement.”
The administration has proposed a short-term extension of a $600-a-week unemployment benefit for tens of millions of Americans, which is expected to expire Friday. Democrats need to extend the benefits of getting $600 a week, which Congress first passed in March under careS law, and a provision that haltes deportation until the end of the year. Republicans have opposed aid, which they say discourages workers.
