The president sees ‘no military solution’ for the problems in Afghanistan, a Biden administration official said.

The discretionary request, known as the “skinny budget,” sheds light on the president’s agenda for the coming year.

‘I don’t need to wait another minute, let alone an hour, to take common sense steps that will save the lives in the future,’ the president said.

Biden said America will start getting closer to normal by the Fourth of July if ‘we all do our part’ in the coming weeks.

The governors say allocating relief funds based on unemployment would ‘punish’ those that didn’t fully lock down amid the pandemic.

“This isn’t because of some gross mismanagement or some bad contracts … This is about addressing the needs of a global pandemic,” one mayor said.

President Joe Biden made clear his goal is for most K-8 public schools to be open in person “five days a week” by the end of his first 100 days.

The CDC has released new guidelines for reopening schools that are still closed in the COVID pandemic.

President Joe Biden’s goal is for more than 50% of public schools to have ‘some teaching’ in person by Day 100, the White House says.

Republicans say Biden’s aggressive agenda doesn’t reflect his unity talk. Biden says unity is more than just bipartisanship in Congress.
