    In this episode of Crayon Box Politics Weekly, hosts Carl, a retired Marine turned political enthusiast, and Avery, dive deep into the chaotic week in politics following Martin Luther King Day and Presidential Inauguration Day. They cover the swift pace at which the House of Representatives introduced and passed numerous pieces of legislation, including the divisive Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act. The Senate's slower pace is contrasted with discussions on bills affecting state-level support for veterans, and an emphasis on contentious executive orders from President Trump's second term. Topics include the redefinition of gender identity and discrimination policies, controversial immigration policies, and significant shifts in energy policy.

    Jan 20 2025

    The episode covers an extremely busy week in the House of Representatives, highlighting the introduction of 257 pieces of legislation, including 226 bills. Carl and Avery delve into the specifics of two controversial bills, H.R. 28 (Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2025) and H.R. 30 (Preventing Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act). The discussions reveal the anti-trans and anti-immigration undertones of these bills. The hosts also analyze various committee activities and hearings, including the oversight and government reform committee and the state of the nation's transportation system. They discuss the ideological division between Democrats and Republicans, emphasizing the Republicans' push for government involvement in personal lives and the Democrats' stance for less governmental interference. The episode also explores recent state legislation on reproductive rights, with a spotlight on Oklahoma, Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, and Missouri. While most states introduced restrictive measures, Missouri and California's approaches to reproductive rights are seen as more progressive. Finally, the hosts touch upon President Biden's recent executive order recognizing the Equal Rights Amendment as the 28th Amendment to the Constitution, his final act before President Trump's inauguration is discussed.
