On Politics   Thursday, January 21 What a year, January has been! We've made it through riots, impeachment and now an inauguration. In just three weeks. Raise your hand if you need a break 🙋🏿‍♀️; I know I do. But you know who really isn't slowing down? America's newest leader.   President Joe Biden hit the ground running during his first full day in office. He wasted little time Wednesday in working to undo former President Donald Trump's policies that were anathema to Democrats during his four years in office. Biden signed 15 executive orders yesterday.  Here's a quick list of some of initiatives Biden has done so far: • Reversed Trump's travel ban from predominantly Muslim countries • Rejoined the Paris Agreement on climate change. • Rejoined the World Health Organization, which Trump abandoned in July • Ended construction of Trump's signature wall on the U.S.-Mexican On Thursday, Biden signed 10 orders and other directives aimed at jump-starting the administration's national strategy to defeat the COVID-19 pandemic.  Biden's use of executive authority requires masks in most planes, trains and airports, orders a national strategy to reopen schools and creates a new "testing board" to expand testing for the virus. Each is a plank in Biden's plan to fight the COVID-19 pandemic – dubbed the National Strategy for the COVID-19 Response and Pandemic Preparedness – unveiled Thursday. The White House billed the strategy as a "nationwide" approach to combat the virus after Trump left states in charge of things including administering vaccines and purchasing protective equipment for health care workers.
