AMY GOODMAN: On Donald Trump’s final full day as president, the Senate is holding confirmation hearings for five of President-elect Joe Biden’s Cabinet nominees as Biden prepares for his inauguration Wednesday along with Kamala Harris.
Biden has already outlined a day-one agenda of executive actions to address the raging coronavirus pandemic and roll back key parts of Trump’s agenda. On Wednesday, he says, he’ll repeal Trump’s travel ban for citizens of majority-Muslim countries, move to rejoin the Paris climate accord, and issue a mask mandate on federal property. Biden also plans to unveil a sweeping immigration bill to offer an eight-year path to citizenship for an estimated 11 million people living in the U.S. without legal status.
U.S. Senator Tim Kaine (D-VA), along with Senator Richard J. Durbin (D-IL) and Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley (MA-07), announced a bicameral bill Tuesday, Jan. 12, to end the federal death penalty.
