Biden signs executive actions on COVID, climate change, immigration and more By Bo Erickson Biden takes on fight against COVID pandemic
On his first day in office, President Joe Biden signed more than a dozen executive actions, some of which reverse decisions made by his predecessor, former President Donald Trump.
Several executive actions will make changes to the U.S. response to COVID-19 and try to ease some of the financial strain on Americans resulting from the pandemic. Other executive actions directly target and undo Mr. Trump s actions on the environment, immigration, the U.S. census, and regulatory changes.
Mr. Biden signed three executive orders in the presence of reporters implementing a mask mandate on federal property, increasing support for underserved communities and rejoining the Paris climate accord.

HAJI MOHAMED DAWJEE: 17 reasons why it s all go for Joe

Game of Thrones-inspired fashion, Lady Gaga killed the couture second only to queen Michelle Obama, who looked regal, graceful and powerful as ever.
After any event like that, you’d expect people to go home, kick off their shoes and lean into some binge-watching or a nap. I’m pretty sure that’s what the United Kingdom s royal family does when they’re done with their official waves from the balcony anyway.
