Biden: Let's Get To Work!

President Joe Biden signs off executive orders to get the ball rolling on controlling the pandemic.

BLACK LIVES MATTER

PROTECT BLACK WOMEN! 

WEAR A DAMN MASK! SAVE A LIFE!

JOE BIDEN AND KAMALA HARRIS: THE CLOCK STARTS NOW!

GOOGLE'S BLOGGER IS TRASH!

A call for unity is one of the promises the 46th President of the United States.

It appears that the far-right will not respond to the call.

President Joe Biden has already issued at least 15 executive orders to get the ball rolling on his administration's goals to "Save the Soul of America."

The president shortly after his inauguration had issued a handful of executive actions.

Two of the most crucial executive actions were to rejoin the World Health Organization and Paris Climate Accords. Biden said on day one he will rejoin these organizations after Donald J. Trump pulled out. 

Biden signed an executive order requiring all federal workers and visitors to wear a mask when entering federal buildings. He said this action will be temporary until the COVID-19 pandemic is over.

Vice President Kamala Harris swears in Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA), Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA) and Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA).

Biden also said that he has issued a bill to get the ball rolling on immigration reform.

He also issued one warning to his White House staff. He told the staff that any inappropriate behavior, disrespect of one another, misinformation and harassment will lead to a cannon fire.

He also said that the White House will return to having daily press briefings.

The White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki did her first presser on Wednesday and said that the president and his staff's job is to work for the American people. She said she will not sugarcoat any bad news. She said that it will be expected that questions will be confrontational (in regards to Fox News, Wall Street Journal and possibly OANN) being in the press pool. She said that The White House will deliver facts and provide evidence.

Psaki did not mention anything about the crowd size nor about the previous administration.

Vice President Kamala Harris' first task was the swearing in of three U.S.Senators. Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) who won against David Perdue will serve a full term. Perdue was defeated in the run-off election. Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) will serve the two years of former senator Johnny Isakson term. Kelly Loeffler, Isakson's successor was defeated in the run-off election. Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA) will serve the two years of Harris' term. Warnock and Padilla said they will run for a full term in 2022.

Harris being the first woman, first African American and first Asian American to be the Vice President of the United States. She will now be the deciding factor to crucial votes in the Senate.

The Democrats retain the majority in the House and Senate. 

Last week, the House passed the Articles of Impeachment against Trump. Pelosi has signalled she will deliver them to Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) as they prepare to hold a trial. Schumer will become the Senate Majority Leader and has signaled that he will work with the president and Minority Leader, Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) to get things done. They will start confirming more nominees to Biden's cabinet.

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO), Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), Rep. Lauren Boebart (R-CO), Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) appear to have skipped the Biden Inauguration.

Twitter has activated the @POTUS account for President Biden. He will now use this account only for government purposes. He also continues to have his official account. Trump was permanently banned from Twitter after repeatedly violations and instigating the insurrection.

There is no time to waste when it comes to tackling the crises we face. That's why today, I am heading to the Oval Office to get right to work delivering bold action and immediate relief for American families.

After taking the oath of office this afternoon, I got right to work taking action to:

- Control the pandemic
- Provide economic relief
- Tackle climate change
- Advance racial equity

We don't have a second to waste when it comes to getting this virus under control. That's why today, I'll be signing executive actions to expand testing, administer vaccines, and safely reopen schools and businesses.

Coronavirus: Biden launches the "100 Days Masking Challenge" asking Americans to wear a mask for 100 days. Requiring masks and social distancing in federal buildings, on federal lands and by government contractors. Urging state and local governments to follow suit. 

He reverses the U.S. withdrawal from the World Health Organization and appoints Dr. Anthony Fauci as the lead delegate representing the United States.

Appoint a COVID-19 Response Coordinator. 

President Biden and First Lady, Dr. Jill Biden vow to lead by example. The 100 Day Mask Challenge is a call for Americans to wear a mask.

Biden extended the moratorium to starve off evictions and foreclosures until March 31.

Extend a pause on student loans and debt payments until September 30.

Biden said that the U.S. will rejoin the Paris Climate Accord effective in 30 days.

Biden will engage talks with Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on how to deal with the Keystone XL pipeline. He will immediately cancel contracts and 100 actions imposed by former president Donald J. Trump. The pipeline was to extend into a reservation which led to protests.

Biden will end the 1776 Commission. He wants agencies to review their actions to ensure that minorities are not excluded from top positions and an end to sugarcoating American events. 

There will be a reversal of workplace discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity.

Feels good to be in charge.

Non citizens will be included in the U.S. Census. There will be an apportionment of congressional representatives.

DACA will return. There will be protections for immigrants who lived in the country brought in a children but lived here since.

The Muslim ban is cancelled. There will be no restrictions on U.S. Entry based on religion. That means the seven Muslim-majority countries Trump sought to ban travelers will end.

There will be an end to enhanced security. There is a reversal on Trump's expansion of immigration enforcement and child seperation. 

There will be an end to border wall funding. Biden signed the order ending American taxpayer funds going to the border wall that Trump vowed to have up (with Mexico paying for it).

Those seeking asylum in the United States will be welcomed. Biden extends deferrals of deportation and work authorizations for Liberians with a safe haven in the United States until June 30, 2022.

Biden signed off an ethics pledge. He said that White House staffers are barred from acting in personal interest and requires the U.S. Justice Department to act independently. That means he wants all of his staff, cabinet, Vice President Kamala Harris and himself to be held accountable for actions rendered now and in the future.

He also ordered the Office of Management and Budget to develop recommendations to modernize regulatory review and will undo Trump's regulatory approvals.
