Re: All Things Biden: Is It Over Yet?
The plan is to get on with whatever they can cram thru congress pretty soon. Plus, give them MONEY
https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/ar ... uWE0eyrYdE“There’s a consensus that one of the mistakes of ’09 was playing footsie for a long time with Republicans who never had any intent to actually get to yes,” Murphy added. “And the dynamics in the Republican caucus have gotten worse since then, not better.”
The trick, says Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey, will be lowering the expectations of an impatient Democratic base that is eager to press the party’s slim advantage by forcing votes on issues like Medicare for All or by making structural changes that could secure the party’s power. Booker says there aren’t enough votes to pass statehood for Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico right now, nor for expanding the Supreme Court. He’s taking his own lesson from the early Obama years.
Democrats are planning to vote early and often in the new Congress, and to essentially dare Republicans to stand in their way on politically popular measures. In recent years, the fight over the momentum-halting filibuster in the Senate has centered on somewhat arcane issues like Cabinet and judicial confirmations. Going forward, look for arguments over the filibuster to instead focus on COVID-19 relief (which will almost certainly end up tied to the infrastructure bill) or a new Voting Rights Act.
As important as the filibuster requirement is, ending it is not the only way to get around Republican opposition. Democrats are already looking into expanding the process known as reconciliation, a quirk of Congress that allows certain bills to pass with simple majorities. The new Senate Budget Committee chair, with significant influence over reconciliation, will be Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, who is very supportive of Biden’s relief proposal.

Sure. It's in the constitution. All American presidents must play golf.

More boring reality:
https://www.state.gov/on-the-reinstatem ... -training/Restoring and strengthening American diplomatic leadership globally requires leveraging the full talent and richness of American diversity. To achieve a diplomatic corps truly representative of America, more progress is needed to recruit and retain a more diverse Department workforce and embrace a culture of inclusion and accountability, free of bias. In furtherance of these goals, the Department of State has announced the full resumption of employee training and professional development activities in support of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
The Day One White House decision to rescind the previous administration’s Executive Order 13950 affirms the Biden Administration’s unwavering commitment to advancing racial and gender equity and a federal workforce that reflect the talents, abilities, and perspectives of the country they serve. The nearly 77,000 Department employees at over 275 missions worldwide and offices across the United States can rest assured of their new leadership’s commitment to a more diverse and inclusive workplace that begins with open discussion of challenges faced and shared commitment to advance progress.
Unemployment Insurance Action
President Biden signed an executive order encouraging the Labor Department to clarify that workers who refuse employment due to coronavirus exposure concerns should be eligible for unemployment benefits.
https://www.dol.gov/newsroom/newsletter
Coronavirus Protections
As part of President Joe Biden’s National Strategy for the COVID-19 Response and Pandemic Preparedness, an executive order on worker health and safety directs the Occupational Safety and Health Administration to issue updated guidance on COVID-19 worker protections. It also directs OSHA and the Mine Safety and Health Administration to consider issuing emergency temporary standards.

Re: All Things Biden: Is It Over Yet?
Then there is Biden's Secretary of Defense pick starting his tenure by addressing sexual assault and harassment:
--the rest: Memorandum on Countering Sexual Assault and Harassment – Initial TaskingI am honored to serve with you again. And I look forward to working with you as we defend the United States. But, as I said before the Senate Armed Services Committee, we cannot accomplish this mission if we also have to battle enemies within the ranks. I'm speaking here about the scourge of sexual assault.
I know this has been a focus for you and for the Department's leadership. I know you have worked this problem for many years. I tried to tackle it myself when, I, too, commanded. We simply must admit the hard truth: we must do more. All of us.
President Biden has ordered a 90-day commission to pursue solutions to sexual assault in the military. We will aggressively support that effort. But I do not want to wait 90 days to take action.

So many boring things. It's much more exciting to debate these issues with goofy pictures, edited videos and 'yer gut.
Three Charged in Federal Court for Assaulting and Impeding Local and Federal Officers during U.S. Capitol Breach
Assailants Attacked Law Enforcement with Bats and Batons In Effort To Halt Certification of Presidential Election
https://www.justice.gov/usao-dc/pr/thre ... -during-usWASHINGTON, D.C. – A D.C. man, a New Jersey man, and a Colorado man appeared today in United States district courts on charges stemming from their attacks on local and federal law enforcement officers, as well as other crimes, during the riots at the U.S. Capitol on January 6 that disrupted a Joint Session of the U.S. Congress in the process of affirming Presidential election results.
Emanuel Jackson, 20, of the District of Columbia, was charged by criminal complaint with two counts of assault on a federal officer while armed with a deadly or dangerous weapon, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 111(a) and (b); one count of unlawful entry on restricted building or grounds while armed with a dangerous or deadly weapon, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1752(a) and (b); one count of obstruction of an official proceeding, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1512(c)(2); and one count of violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds, in violation of Title 40, United States Code, Section 5104(e)(2).
Scott Kevin Fairlamb, 43, of Stockholm, New Jersey, was charged by criminal complaint with one count of assault on a federal officer, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 111(a); one count of certain acts during a civil disorder, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 231(a)(3); one count of unlawful entry on restricted building or grounds while armed with a dangerous or deadly weapon, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1752(a) and (b); and one count of violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds, in violation of Title 40, United States Code, Section 5104(e).
Jeffrey Sabol, 51, of Colorado, was charged by criminal complaint with one count of obstructing, impeding, or interfering with any law enforcement officer during the commission of a civil disorder which in any way obstructs or delays the conduct or performance of any federally protected function, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 231(a)(3).
Jackson, at a detention hearing today in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, was ordered held without bond pending trial. Fairlamb made his initial appearance in the District of New Jersey this afternoon; he was ordered released, but the order was stayed pending appeal by the government. Sabol, after being taken into custody this morning, made his initial appearance thereafter in the Southern District of New York; he was ordered detained and transferred to the District of Columbia for further proceedings.
The affidavit in support of the criminal complaint against Jackson alleges that on January 6, Jackson joined a large group of rioters as they attempted to break through the barricaded doorway of the Senate Wing entrance on the west side of the U.S. Capitol building. Video surveillance footage captures Jackson making a fist and repeatedly striking a U.S. Capitol Police officer while attempting to enter the building forcefully. The mob that Jackson joined pushed through and gained entrance to the Capitol building moments later. Later that same day, Jackson was again outside the Capitol building at the West Terrace entrance. He joined a violent and aggressive crowd that continued to try to break through a large group of police officers. Video footage shows Jackson wielding a metal baseball bat and repeatedly and forcefully striking a group of U.S. Capitol Police and Metropolitan Police Department officers in an attempt to break through.
The affidavit in support of the criminal complaint against Fairlamb alleges that as uniformed members of the Washington, D.C., Metropolitan Police Department arrived at the Capitol to assist the U.S. Capitol Police in restoring order on January 6, Fairlamb shoved and punched an officer on the West Front of the Capitol. In addition to the officer’s account of the assault, the body-worn camera footage of the officer and video footage taken by a civilian witness depict Fairlamb – dressed in a brown camouflage jacket, black knit hat, blue jeans, and bright red shoes – as he assaults the officer. According to the affidavit, additional video footage shows Fairlamb standing on scaffolding erected on Capitol grounds at the western front face of the Capitol building; picking up from the ground and placing under his arm a baton, just after the skirmish line on the Capitol West Terrace was breached and putting it under his arm; and leaving from inside the Capitol building, coughing, after chemical agents were deployed inside. The affidavit also alleges that in a video post to his Facebook account, Fairlamb, carrying a collapsible baton like the one depicted in video in which he appears at the Capitol, remarks, “What Patriots do? We [expletive] disarm them and then we storm [expletive] the Capitol.”
The affidavit in support of the criminal complaint against Sabol alleges that on January 6, Sabol was part of a group that grabbed a Metropolitan Police Department officer from the post where he guarded against access to the interior of the Capitol building and dragged him down the exterior stairs. Sabol and the other individuals, the affidavit alleges, then forced the officer into a prone position on the stairs and proceeded to strike the officer, forcibly and repeatedly, in the head and body with various objects. Sabol, according to the affidavit, is depicted in a photograph and numerous videos wearing a tan-colored jacket, black helmet, green backpack, and black gloves, and can be seen in a photograph holding an instrument believed to be a police officer’s baton across the police officer’s lower neck while his left hand is pressed to the backside of the officer. When pulled over by police in New York State based on reports of erratic driving, a bloodied Sabol stated, “I am tired, I am done fighting[,]”

Re: All Things Biden: Is It Over Yet?
Snopes isn't exactly 'fair' about things like this. It's like trusting someone just because they say they are a 'fact-checker', when the real fun starts when you watch a segment called 'fact-checking the fact-checkers'.
What really happened, was that Biden signed an order, then set an example.
No news really, the guidelines are always trending more authoritarian. I haven't seen any of 'The Science' support freedom or individuality.

https://home.treasury.gov/news/featured ... t-paymentsU.S. Department of the Treasury
FACT SHEET: Treasury to Work to Ensure Families Get Access to Economic Impact Payments
WASHINGTON -In response to President Biden’s COVID-19 Economic Relief Executive Order launching an all-of-government effort to provide economic relief, the U.S. Department of the Treasury will work to stand up an effort to help households who have not yet been able to access their stimulus payments get much-needed relief. As many as 8 million households may be eligible for but have not yet received payments from the CARES Act signed in March; many of these households could be legally entitled to as much as $1,200 per adult. As the Treasury Department works to secure a full $2,000 in direct payments for adults as part of the American Rescue Plan, it will take steps designed to reach as many of these missed households as possible – providing financial relief to a population that may be especially struggling during this crisis.
Over the past year, career staff at Treasury and the IRS have done remarkable work delivering payments as quickly as possible to millions of households. As part of this new effort, Treasury will build on that work done to date – incorporating lessons learned over the past year – to reach households who either were not issued payments or who otherwise were unable to access their funds. Doing so will not only help households get billions in relief they are entitled to and need, but can increase the reach of new direct payments if Congress enacts them.
In particular, the Treasury Department will:
Establish online tools for claiming their payments: ...
Work to reach households who were issued – but did not cash – payments: ...
Analyze unserved households: ...
