What time is the press event? Know what I'm excited about most? Having researched this shit for 4 years learning how the presidency works, I now know what to work with and ask for as a citizen. There's a small slice of hope that others will want to be just as engaged with the government as well.
Ah, well then I guess my bias is showing. Still feel like he should add a new color.
Can someone please mock up a CDprojekt Red patch notes list with the signature yellow background? 😂
Years of damage reversed in one day. It's pretty incredible to watch, especially now that they're gearing up for real legislation that can actually be passed since we have a trifecta in Congress.
We got through the inauguration without incident, Biden successfully took the reins, and the real work is starting. Today is a good day.
I think I'm going to officially back off from the news cycle now that we're in a place of relative stability for the first time in four years. It will be wonderful to go to bed and not worry about what hellstorm awaits me in the morning.

About that. Trump stopped Harriet Tubman from being in the $20. Is there an executive order for Biden to sign that?
So much shit has happened these last 4 years that I totally forgot about that.
Clinton and Trump's look nearly identical to me.

Carter's / Reagan's is probably my favorite look.
"President Donald Trump's light gold drapes have been replaced with a different, darker shade of gold that hung in President Bill Clinton's Oval Office."
Doesn't need to. Basically the Treasury Secretary just railroaded it until 2028 the earliest. New Treasury Secretary could get it back on track. Probably still take a year or two until they would be in circulation
Until October? Gotdamn.
Really hope he does the 20k+ cancellation. That would just about completely wipe out all my federal debt (still would owe around 30k in private loans, but that's still 20k I can actually put towards something I really want, like a house)
I didn't take any private loans, but have about 30,000 in federal. So I would love this too. Schumer apparently wants to wipe out $50,000.
I definitely agree. We have a real president in office again!
Plus I'm sure that there's more EO's that Biden has to undo of Trump's. It's certainly good to see this happening.
I wished that private loans & cancellation of debt would've applied for loan forgiveness, too.
I paid off $10k literally like two days before the extension was put in place last March. If a law is put in place to forgive up to $10k, I wonder if there will be something for those of us who falls in that timeline.
if I knew payments would be halted for 18 months with a chance of forgiveness! Man
I hope it goes through for everyone else at least
That was a cool article. I like Johnson's drapes but Eisenhower's rug.
Oh yeah, what about all of those stacked bills that the House had passed while they were sitting on McConnell's desk? I hope that those go through, too.
And get rid of Trump's postmaster general, Louis DeJoy while you're at it.

It's going to take me a while to adjust to reading the words "White House" without imagining the worst. I remember how huge of a heel turn it felt after 2016 whenever those words were uttered or written.
Good. That is the one good thing about Trump doing most of his damage with executive orders. They're easy to undue without much fighting.
All cool and all, but there's a lot more he could've and should've done today and can still tomorrow.
Prospect has had a series up for a while now on the day one agenda Biden can achieve if he wanted to: https://prospect.org/day-one-agenda
Taking the beginning and conclusion from their review of the day 1 agenda actually done:
prospect.org
I agree with the article that it's bare minimum, and also agree that day 1 agenda doesn't end day 1 and that there's still some moving parts around for a lot of the wishlist. But it's never out of bounds to demand more - in fact that's the bare minimum we not in power need to have. All of these politicians are our public servants
So it's good to remind Biden of his obligations and the power that he possesses to single-handedly massively improve the lives of every American without needing bad faith actors like Republicans wasting our time like every other time.

Biden’s Actual Day One Agenda
The executive actions the incoming president plans to take over the next several days are a bit underweight.

That was one demographic who I just couldn't understand why anyone from it would support Trump. To my knowledge he didn't do a thing to improve their rights etc and in fact actively made decisions that made them worse.
I think the logic behind the freeze until october is that it will give congress time to get a more widely targeted college bill which includes forgiveness.
I'm not stoked about the eviction moratorium only being extended to March. I hope there is more relief and more protections coming. Too many people are losing their homes as it is.
Well it says "until atleast" so maybe it's subject to change. Also, maybe Congress will get something going so his administration felt they don't need to go as far?
I hope so. It's going to get even worse when it ends without more help.
The most beautiful thing to me is that Biden is retconning all Trump stood for and Trump
