Biden Administration Plans To Move Forward With Adding Harriet Tubman to $20 Bill
Source: Smith Collection/Gado / Getty President Joe Biden has had a busy first week in office, reversing problematic Trump-era executive orders, but it seems that one item on his agenda stems from his friend and our forever President, Barack Obama‘s, mission to get Harriet Tubman as the new face of the twenty-dollar bill. According to the White House Press Secretary, Jen Psaki, Biden’s Treasury is looking to speed up the process to add abolitionist and freedom fighter Harriet Tubman to the $20 bill, adding that such accomplishment is a proper step in reflecting the country’s “history and diversity.” “The Treasury Department is taking steps to resume efforts to put Harriet Tubman on the front of the new $20 notes,” Psaki said in the press conference. . “It’s important that our notes reflect...

U.S. Senate confirms Joe Biden nominee Lloyd Austin as defense secretary
The U.S. Senate on Friday confirmed President Joe Biden’s nominee, retired Army General Lloyd Austin, to serve as Secretary of Defense – the first Black American in the role. The vote was an overwhelming 90-2 in the 100-member chamber, far more than the simple majority needed. Lawmakers from both parties said they were pleased that Austin would be installed to lead the Pentagon just two days after Biden was sworn in as president on Wednesday. Senator Jack Reed, the incoming Democratic chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, noted the wide range of challenges facing the country – including the coronavirus pandemic and competition with China and Russia. “General Austin is an exceptionally qualified leader with a long and distinguished career in the U.S. military,” Reed said before t...
Donald Trump impeachment to be sent to Senate Monday – top lawmakers
Donald Trump will go on trial in the US Senate soon after an impeachment case against the former president is transmitted by the House of Representatives on Monday, top lawmakers announced. The House impeached the Republican leader for a historic second time on January 13, just one week before he left office, but Speaker Nancy Pelosi has yet to send the article of impeachment to the Senate. The step is necessary in order to launch the trial process. “I have spoken to Speaker Pelosi who informed me that the article will be delivered to the Senate on Monday,” Chuck Schumer, the new Democratic Senate majority leader, said in a floor speech Friday. “A trial will be held in the United States Senate and there will be a vote whether to convict the president,” Schumer told his colleagues. Trump wa...
K-Pop Stans Hijack #ImpeachBidenNow Hashtag Like Total Pros
When there’s something hateful spreading on Twitter, who are you gonna call to drown it out? The K-Pop stans, of course. After batshit crazy Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene said she introduced articles of impeachment against President Joe Biden, a swarm of K-Pop fans quickly took over the #ImpeachBidenNow hashtag to dominate it with clips of their favorite music stars. #ImpeachBidenNow started to churn after Green, a QAnon enthusiast, uploaded a video of herself discussing the impeachment articles she just dropped off. “I’ve just filed articles of impeachment on president Joe Biden, we will see how this goes,” she tweeted. “President Joe Biden is unfit to hold the office of the presidency. His pattern of abuse of power as President Obama’s vice president is lengthy and dist...
Las Vegas High School Mariachi Band Calls Inaugural Performance a ‘Milestone’
It’s an important day in the United States, with the President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris being sworn in to the White House on Wednesday (Jan. 20).

Fall Out Boy Play Joe Biden Pre-Inauguration Concert: Watch
On Sunday night, Fall Out Boy helped kick off inauguration week by playing Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’ We the People concert. The pop-punk group celebrated the President-elect and Vice President-elect by playing “Centuries”, and you can replay their performance down below. Fall Out Boy were wise to choose “Centuries” as their presidential hype song considering they originally imagined the American Beauty/American Psycho hit as an empowering “David vs. Goliath story”. With its Suzanne Vega-inspired refrain and anthemic chorus, “Centuries” feels like an appropriate soundtrack for Biden’s upcoming presidential era, especially considering he dethroned one of the most idiotic, dangerous, and unpopular presidents of all time. Perhaps the biggest reason Fall Out Boy were destined to us...
TikTok “Dreams” Sensation to Skateboard in Joe Biden’s Inauguration Parade
With that one loser finally on his way out of the White House, Joe Biden’s Inauguration Day celebrations are expected to be all about the good vibes. And who better to bring them than Mr. “Good Vibes Only” himself, Nathan Apodaca, a.k.a. TikTok “Dreams” skateboarder @420doggface208. According to TMZ, the viral sensation is scheduled to appear as part of Biden’s virtual inauguration parade later this week. The President-elect’s planning team reportedly tapped Apodaca “because they saw how his feel-good video uplifted the world this past fall during social unrest and pandemic anxiety.” For those who may have somehow missed it, Apodaca’s famed TikTok clip saw him skateboarding blissfully to Fleetwood Mac hit “Dreams” while sipping from a bottle of Ocean Spray. For a brief moment, the hum...
Garth Brooks Added to Joe Biden’s Inauguration Ceremony Lineup
Country icon Garth Brooks has been added to the performance schedule for Wednesday’s inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris. Future First Lady DR. Jill Biden extended the invite to Brooks last week, and he confirmed his participation during a press conference held by the Biden Inaugural Committee today. As the musician explained, he’s performed for every president since Jimmy Carter, with two exceptions: Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump. The latter had asked him to play at the 2017 inauguration, but a tour scheduling conflict prevented him from attending. Brooks did, however, play for Biden’s other inauguration — as Vice President alongside Barack Obama — in 2008. “This is a great day in our household. This is not a political statement; this is a sta...
