"No one has ever called me a n****r while I'm wearing the uniform of a Capitol Police officer," Dunn testified.
Eviction Moratorium to Expire Saturday

According to a White House press statement, President Biden is calling "on Congress to extend the eviction moratorium to protect such vulnerable renters and their families without delay."
