What a relief. Normal, smart, competent, educated, experienced, decent people are back in charge. Science is now a Cabinet position! President Biden got immediately to work today signing 17 executive orders including:
- Reinstating ties with WHO.
- Rejoining the Paris climate accords.
- Blocking the deportation of Liberians who have been living in the United States.
- Ending the so-called Muslim ban.
- Moratorium on drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
- Bolstering DACA.
So let’s watch the Bruce Springsteen/Jon Bon Jovi/Justin Timberlake show (compare and contrast: 3 Doors Down), have a few drinks (drinking is just for fun again!) and then go to bed and get a good night’s sleep for the first time in five years.
And press briefings are back!
(Seen here: President Biden tells a fish story.)
