In his first speech before Congress, President Joe Biden argued it was time to turn the coronavirus pandemic into a historic opportunity to expand government for the benefit of a wider range of Americans, urging investments in jobs, climate change, child care, infrastructure and more.
Biden said that taxes should be increased on corporations and the wealthy to pay for new spending, as well as to address escalating inequality.
Federal judge and legal pioneer
Appointed by President Barack Obama in 2009, O. Rogeriee Thompson is the first African American and second woman to serve as a judge on the U.S. First Circuit Court of Appeals. She was confirmed by a U.S. Senate vote of 98-0.
Previously, Thompson led a pathbreaking legal career as a member of the Rhode Island judiciary, serving as a District Court judge and a Superior Court justice. Before joining the bench, she was a senior partner with Thompson & Thompson, assistant city solicitor for the City of Providence, an associate with McKinnon and Fortunato, and a senior staff attorney for Rhode Island Legal Services.

After the Trump Administration rightly banned Critical Race Theory (CRT) training in the federal workforce in late 2020, the Biden–Harris Administration swiftly undid the prohibition in its first day in office. The reversal sent the momentum for combatting CRT to the states, where legislatures and governors are currently considering the impact of CRT’s Marxist roots and intolerance of other ideas on K–12 school policies, such as student discipline and curricula.
Can the executives and legislators of the nation’s 50 states and the officials of the nearly 14,000 school boards determine the material that is taught in the public school classroom? Certainly. Just as state and local education officials have the authority to adopt and later change academic standards and lessons to include CRT and focus on “racialization” and “whiteness,” so, too, can educators create and recommend resources that acknowledge America’s promise of freedom and opportunity.R
