'One real , solid person.' She has ties to Minnesota. She stayed at the St. John's Episcopalian church in Minneapolis until 2011. #Minnesota #Bishopbudde #BishopMariannEdgarBudde toledoblade.com/news/religion/…

It's more like the Gilded Age. NOT THE CABLE SERIES #gildedAge

President Trump has signed an executive order beginning the process of withdrawing the U.S. from the World Health Organization. cbsn.ws/3Wr1jLy

More than 6 in 10 Americans disapprove of President Donald Trump issuing pardons to those convicted of crimes related to the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, according to the most recent PBS News/NPR/Marist poll. Majorities of Democrats and independents disapproved of Trump issuing pardons to those defendants, according to the poll, taken before Trump’s inauguration. Meanwhile, three in 10 Americans support the pardons, including close to two-thirds of Republicans. Late Monday, hours after he was inaugurated, Trump issued pardons he said would cover about 1,500 defendants charged in the Jan. 6 attack, along with six commutations. He also directed the Justice Department to seek the dismissal of approximately 450 pending criminal cases against Jan. 6 defendants. The attack disrupted Congress' proceedings to count and certify votes for Joe Biden's 2020 Electoral College victory. More than 1,200 people have pleaded guilty or been convicted on charges stemming from the Capitol attack, according to the U.S. Department of Justice. The charges range from trespassing to assaulting law enforcement to seditious conspiracy.

@cwebbonline I noticed, and I was wondering what the symbolism of it meant.

I love this so much! At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions. This choice mirrors the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.

Today, President Trump will issue a series of Executive Orders that deny the climate emergency facing our country in favor of a phony “energy emergency”. These performative acts show the pervasive influence that the fossil fuel industry will have in the United States over the next four years. But make no mistake, the global Sustainability Revolution is unstoppable. As was the case in 2017, withdrawing the US from the Paris Agreement is a shortsighted abdication of leadership that will only serve to put our nation at a disadvantage. Clinging to the industries of the past instead of embracing the industries of the future may boost the short-term profits of fossil fuel companies, but it will come at the expense of the broader American economy - including American workers who risk being left behind. This is the first of what will be many attempts to ignore reality and try to stall the world’s unstoppable and irreversible move to a clean energy economy. But these proclamations are not reflective of our political and economic reality. These efforts to roll back progress – particularly the hugely popular clean energy investments in the Inflation Reduction Act – will be met with opposition from both political parties. That’s why, in the coming weeks, months, and years, climate leaders and activists must not be deterred or distracted. From extreme weather disasters like Hurricane Helene and the still burning Los Angeles wildfires, to the growing number of climate refugees, to competitiveness in the global economy, the climate crisis will have profound consequences for the United States over the next four years. If the new Administration won’t lead on this issue, it is up to all of us. Now is the time for Governors, Mayors, business leaders, investors, and activists to put their heads down and do the work that will advance the climate solutions our nation and the world so urgently need. We were able to keep up the pace of climate action during the first Trump Administration, and it is urgent that we take up the mantle once again.

It has been the honor of my lifetime to serve as your Vice President. Stay connected with me at KamalaHarris.com.

Carrie Underwood did a great job. She sang America The Beautiful without music accompanying her due to some type of glitch. #CarrieUnderwood #Inauguration2025

@AP An air kiss. They didn't even touch one another. And that hat worn down around her eyes to hide or protect her expressions from being seen by the cameras or others .

@amyklobuchar You did an awesome job today, Amy. Thank you so much. Made us in Minnesota very proud. Great leadership skills. Thanks again , Senator Klobuchar.

As I said today, let’s remember where the power in that Capitol rotunda comes from: the people. The construction workers, teachers, health care workers, and the firefighters in LA. Our democracy must match their grit and determination.

So these non-elected businessmen, some of the wealthiest in the world, had a front row seat at the inauguration, while many of our elected members of Congress sat in an overflow room. Welcome to the new Gilded Age , America #Inauguration2025

What the fuck ? Did Elon Musk just give the crowd there a Nazi salute? That's not how we give a triumphant salute in the United States.

After 50 years of public service, I still believe in the idea for which our nation stands. A nation where the strength of our institutions and the character of our people matter and must endure. Now it’s your turn to stand guard.

@POTUS Thank you President Biden for your 50 years of public service to our country

Happy birthday to the love of my life, @MichelleObama. You fill every room with warmth, wisdom, humor, and grace – and you look good doing it. I’m so lucky to be able to take on life's adventures with you. Love you!

@BarackObama @MichelleObama Happy birthday, Michelle

From District Attorney of San Francisco to Attorney General of California, to United States Senator, and then Vice President of the United States, I’m incredibly proud of everything you’ve accomplished and all that lies ahead. Every day, I feel so lucky to be by your side. Love you always, @VP.

Every day I kept my commitment to be a President for all Americans through one of the toughest periods in our nation’s history. And I’ve had a great partner in our Vice President, Kamala Harris.
