Remarks by President Biden on the Passage of H.R. 815, the National Security Supplemental

This Executive Order fulfills President Biden’s promise to make Buy American real and close loopholes that allow companies to offshore production and jobs while still qualifying for domestic preferences. The left-wing New York Times editorial board supported President Biden's campaign and celebrated his victory, but mild criticism of his spate of executive actions drew a rebuke from Biden's communications director Thursday morning. The President is taking action to reset the U.S. government’s longstanding approach to domestic preferences to create an approach that will remain durable for years to come and grow quality, union jobs. WASHINGTON – President-elect Joe Biden won’t get a traditional inaugural parade down Pennsylvania Avenue after he takes the oath of office, but he will get a presidential escort to the White House.

This year, they will be limited to tickets for themselves and one guest. A “virtual parade” will be televised and will feature performances in communities across the country. The parade will celebrate America’s heroes, highlight Americans from all walks of life in different states and regions, and reflect the country’s diversity, heritage and resilience, inaugural planners said. Planners have been looking for ways to continue many inaugural traditions while protecting the health and safety of Americans amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The 59th Inaugural Ceremonies will be smaller than in previous years because of the health risks posed by COVID-19. Biden and Harris will still take the oath of office on the Capitol’s West Front, and Biden will deliver an inaugural address that lays out his vision for beating the virus, rebuilding and bringing the country together. “This innovative programming will keep people safe and use new ways to bring in Americans across the country – from rural towns and urban cities to younger and older Americans to everybody and everywhere in between,” said Maju Varghese, the committee’s executive director.

Statement from President Joe Biden on Clemency Actions

For purposes of this fact sheet and the Executive Order, “Made-in-America” refers to domestic preferences related to federal procurement, federal grants, and other forms of federal assistance. Buy American and Buy America refers to the specific statutes that go by those names. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed. Quotes displayed in real-time or delayed by at least 15 minutes. Removing Jackson's portrait is also significant as he was seen as a populist figure—president from 1829 to 1837—who owned enslaved people and signed the Indian Removal Act, which led to the deaths of thousands. In the past, members of Congress have received about 200,000 tickets to distribute to their constituents.

Statement by President Joe Biden on Armenian Remembrance Day

President Biden’s executive action will ensure that the federal government is investing taxpayer dollars in American businesses—both small and large. These investments will help create well-paid, union jobs, and build our economy back better so that everybody has a fair shot at the middle class. They will buy from all of America—including minority entrepreneurs and businesses in every region in our country. And, they will support the manufacturing capabilities and technology needed to build a clean energy future and strengthen our national security, and give our workers and companies the tools they need to compete globally for decades to come. Supporting America’s Workers through Federal Purchasing This order is deeply intertwined with the President’s commitment to invest in American manufacturing, including clean energy and critical supply chains, grow good-paying, union jobs, and advance racial equity. The federal government should buy from suppliers that are growing the sectors of the future and treating their workers with dignity and respect.

My predecessor promised infrastructure week every week for four years, but never built a damn thing. My bipartisan infrastructure law has now launched over 51,000 projects across every state and territory in America. Tonight, Jews around the world will celebrate Passover, a holiday that reminds us that even in the face of persecution, if we hold on to faith, we shall overcome.Let us remember that even in the darkest times, the promise of God’s protection will give us strength to find hope. Young Americans know that the climate crisis is the existential threat of our time.They deserve leaders who believe them.We’re not going to let them down.

The Founding Fathers Couldn't Have Foreseen Trump—But They Immunized Him

Pass in Reviews are a long-standing military tradition that reflects the peaceful transfer of power to a new commander-in-chief. The new president, hosted by the commander of Joint Task Force-National Capital Region, will review the readiness of military troops. “We’re going to make sure that people participate in a way that will make them a part of the event, but keep them safe and healthy and comfortable,’’ he said, noting the usually "icy cold’’ weather. Rep. James Clyburn, co-chair of the Biden inaugural committee, said he expects a couple of thousand people to attend. Participants will practice social distancing, and vigorous health and safety protocols will be in place, the inaugural committee said.

Federal law requires government agencies to give preferences to American firms, however, these preferences have not always been implemented consistently or effectively. And, some of these requirements, which shape how the government preferences domestic goods and services in what it buys, have not been substantially updated since 1954, during the Eisenhower Administration. It is long overdue that the U.S. government utilizes the full force of current domestic preferences to support America’s workers and businesses, strengthening our economy, workers, and communities across the country. With this order, President Biden is ensuring that when the federal government spends taxpayer dollars they are spent on American made goods by American workers and with American-made component parts.

Chummily headlined, "Ease up on the Executive Actions, Joe," the editorial board admonished him against relying too heavily on executive orders. Biden has signed dozens since taking office last week, addressing issues from climate change to coronavirus to overseas abortions to cancelling the Keystone Pipeline. This executive action is a part of the President’s broader commitment to increase investments in manufacturing industries and workers in order to Build Back Better. The President is committed to working on a bipartisan basis to advance this work, including with members of Congress who have been leaders on Buy American and Buy America for years. President Biden will continue to take historic action to tackle the climate crisis, deliver environmental justice, and build a clean energy future. Participants for the virtual parade will be announced in the coming weeks, but the inaugural committee said the programming will include musical acts, local bands, poets, dance troupes and others paying homage to America’s heroes on the front lines of the pandemic.

Bedingfield added "of course" the Biden administration was pursuing its agenda through legislation. Democrats have full control of Washington for the first time in a decade with slim majorities in the House and Senate. The redesign caused outrage on Twitter at the time, with legions of people sharing before and after photos and accusing Melania of removing flowers and trees planted by previous first ladies. A teacup and saucer were also photographed beside Biden as he signed executive orders yesterday—a sight not seen on the Resolute Desk in some time as Trump is famously a heavy Diet Coke drinker. Too often, airlines drag their feet on refunds or rip folks off with junk fees.It’s time Americans got a better deal.Today, my Administration is requiring that airlines provide automatic refunds to passengers when they’re owed, and protect them from surprise fees. After the swearing-in, Biden, Harris and their spouses will participate in a Pass in Review ceremony on the Capitol’s East Front with members of the military.

The renovations included digging up trees, replacing bright floral beds with white and pastel roses, and laying down paved walkways. The Oval Office modifications come as new first lady Dr. Biden has been urged by many people to reverse the changes Melania Trump made to the White House's Rose Garden during her time there. Other changes to the artwork include a portrait of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and paired paintings of Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton. The Bidens selected a portrait of founding father Benjamin Franklin to be hung in the office to replace the controversial one of Andrew Jackson selected by Trump.

The President remains committed to working with partners and allies to modernize international trade rules—including those related to government procurement–to make sure all countries can use their taxpayer dollars to spur investment in their own countries. The dollars the federal government spends on goods and services are a powerful tool to support American workers and manufacturers. Contracting alone accounts for nearly $600 billion in federal spending.

While the newspaper framed its criticism sympathetically, communications director Kate Bedingfield cried foul on Twitter. "Undoing some of Mr. Trump’s excesses is necessary, but Mr. Biden’s legacy will depend on his ability to hammer out agreements with Congress," the board wrote. Indeed, executive orders can be wiped away with a stroke of the next president's pen, as former President Barack Obama saw with his successor Donald Trump, and now Trump with Biden. The newly designed Rose Garden was unveiled by Melania Trump on August 22 last year.
