When Congressman Michael McCaul, a Republican from Texas, announced that he would vote against the second impeachment of President Trump earlier this month, he hinted that he might regret it someday.

The President plans to move aggressively later in the week, taking steps to boost US workers, address racial inequality and combat climate change. But true, lasting change and the nation’s hopes of finally overcoming the pandemic will rely on Biden’s ability to leverage years of experience to forge common ground in the scorched earth of […] More

The normal rulemaking process can take months, at least, to complete, so officials are believed to be considering emergency actions that could take effect much sooner.

Biden will also extend the restrictions to travelers who have recently been to South Africa, the official said.

But now Trump is an ordinary citizen, the Biden administration is in place and the justices are expected as soon as Monday to begin to act on a mound of lingering issues they have been sitting upon, including abortion and the question of former President Donald Trump’s tax returns. Some of the disputes are closely […] More

The call, slated for 3 p.m. EST, is part of the administration’s attempts to build bipartisan support for the $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package, coined the American Rescue Plan, which Biden has deemed a top legislative priority in the early days of his term.
