I think Biden (or his team) said one priority would be to get the money to people who were already eligible for the payments already sent out - but never received them. So hopefully they want to find efficient ways to send out new payments too

Fyi, CBS All Access is changing its name to "Paramount Plus" https://variety.com/2021/tv/festivals/paramount-plus-streaming-debut-march-4-viacomcbs-1234887452/ The twitter handle @CBSAllAccess is now @Paramount_Plus The change is supposed to go into effect March 4th, 2021, but the twitter account has already switched over. @Errol That would eventually affect the name of this primetime board. And also anyone watching B&B or Y&R looking for CBS All Access.

Mitch McConnell has finally changed his twitter handle. He kept it as @senatemajldr for a few days -- even after Wednesday when he officially lost the majority - when Kamala was sworn in as VP, and Warnock, Ossoff and Padilla were sworn in as senators. He has now gone back to using @LeaderMcConnell - which I guess he already had as a handle. The twitter handle @senatemajldr is currently displaying as "This account doesn’t exist". Edit to add: He's changed his instagram from senatemajldr to leadermcconnell --- Schumer is still using SenSchumer as his twitter handle but his twitter bio says he's the Senate Majority Leader.

That's way below zero. -50 °Celsius = -58 °Fahrenheit

Senate must convict him in the impeachment trial. Otherwise he'll try to fill news cycles for the next four years with his third party run.

This tweet is from that young man.

From a friend who subscribes to Dems email lists. Received an email from Biden on Jan. 20th in the afternoon. A few key points in Biden's email (these are exact quotes): A cry for survival comes from the planet itself. A cry that can't be any more desperate or any more clear. and now a rise of political extremism, white supremacy, domestic terrorism that we must confront and we will defeat. In another January, on New Year's Day in 1863, Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation. When he put pen to paper, the president said, and I quote, "if my name ever goes down into history, it'll be for this act, and my whole soul is in it. "My whole soul is in it." Today, on this January day, my whole soul is in this: Bringing America together, uniting our people, uniting our nation. And I ask every American to join me in this cause. Uniting to fight the foes we face, anger, resentment and hatred, extremism, lawlessness, violence, disease, joblessness and hopelessness. With unity, we can do great things, important things. ------ When I read that .... I conclude this: Biden's not saying unity with the racists and domestic terrorists. Biden is saying unity against racism and domestic terrorism. And also unity to save planet from climate change. And unity to end poverty and despair.

oh! I see your point now. Yeah i know it's all so scary. I just keep praying/imagining/whatever that they are protected. And also wanting them to have reliable practical protection on the ground.

That's Socks Clinton. There's a pic of Chelsea in the background. The confusion came because Biden got rid of Trump's decor, and instead of paying for new stuff, he is using Clinton's drapes and rug in the Oval Office.

whoops posted on wrong thread

I'm unfamiliar with the names and history of a lot of journalists. I've tried to notice bylines a lot more in the past few months, but I don't know the reporters' backhistory. I've seen posts in the politics thread mentioning that Olivia Nuzzi has a bias. I have no idea who she is, other than her twitter bio (and wiki page) saying she's a Washington correspondent for New York magazine. Tell me more.

^ Full Biden press conference today, January 21. I found it on the White House youtube channel, which is was scrubbed clean of all videos and started fresh at noon January 20.
