The Biden-Harris Administration today announced a cybersecurity certification and labeling program to help Americans more easily choose smart devices that are safer and less vulnerable to cyberattacks. The new “U.S. Cyber Trust Mark” program proposed by Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel would raise the bar for cybersecurity across common devices, including smart refrigerators, smart microwaves, smart televisions, smart climate control systems, smart fitness trackers, and more.

Denver Mayor
Mayor Mike Johnston was sworn into the Mayor’s office in Denver on Monday morning. The new mayor, along with his family and close colleagues gathered at the The Ellie Caulkins Opera House in front of a packed crowd was sworn in as the 46th mayor of Denver. Also in attendance were former mayors Federico Peña, Wellington Webb and John Hickenlooper (current Senator). Mayor Johnston had this to say, “The essence of democracy is that it calls on our ability to do something that feels unnatural. To love those who are different from us. To believe in them, to work with them, to sacrifice for them, to deliver for them. That is our dream of Denver.”
