In this episode we discuss the best photo of 2021...Bernie Sanders sitting bundled up during Biden's inauguration. We never thought there'd be a better photo than the dude stealing the Speaker's Podium during the June 6th incursion into the capital, but this just might do it.

We also discuss the first acts of the Biden presidency, including signing 17 executive orders on his first day in office. Among these orders are a cancellation of the Keystone XL pipeline, a stoppage of border wall construction, an abolition of the 1776 commission, a 100 day mask challenge, a recommittment to the WHO and the Paris Climate Accords, and more, a nationwide extension of the moratorium on evictions and foreclosures, an extension on the pause of federal student loan interest accrual and payments, and more.

Good stuff, but Democrats should continue to push as hard and as fast as they can for a material politics than benefits America's working and poor classes and to strengthen or reform some institutions in the interests of Democratic sustainability.

Thanks for joining us.
