President Biden First 100 Days
What Joe Biden has promised to do on "Day One" and in his first 100 days as president
For almost two years, Joe Biden has been telling Americans what he plans to do on his first day in office — and the next 99 — if elected to be the nation's 46th president.
In speeches, interviews, and in at least 49 published plans throughout his presidential campaign, Mr. Biden talked about the actions he'd take in the earliest days of his administration — what he would do if he triumphed in what he saw as a "battle for the soul of the nation" against President Trump.
Incoming White House chief of staff Ron Klain distributed a memo Saturday that reiterated Mr. Biden's intention to fulfill several of his promises — some geared toward immediate action to arrest the surging coronavirus pandemic, some to roll back the actions taken by President Trump in the last four years, and others to address problems that have persisted over several administrations.

No; they can't—not on the presidential throne, anyway. Unless you want to imply every former president's throne was constructed the same way. Because President Biden's 4.5-point victory margin is the second largest since 2000. The same is true of his margin of 7 million popular votes. And, of course, the 81 million votes Biden won is by far the most any presidential candidate has ever received.
The American people have spoken. Onward and upward from this hell-hole President Biden has inherited.
I now understand that only 68 million votes were for Biden and 81 million for Trump - and that’s AFTER ballot harvesting.
I’m only presenting my opinion. 😎👍

Biden signs executive orders on stimulus checks, food stamps and minimum wage
President Biden signed two executive orders on Friday, one of which would increase federal food assistance and streamline the delivery of stimulus checks, as the president attempts to stabilize the economy without congressional assistance amid the fallout from the coronavirus pandemic.
"We have to act now," Mr. Biden said in remarks before he signed the orders. "We cannot, will not, let people go hungry."
Mr. Biden has proposed a $1.9 trillion relief plan to Congress, but it is unclear whether it will garner enough Republican support to pass on a bipartisan basis. Until Congress is able to pass another relief bill, Mr. Biden's actions are intended as stopgap measures to stabilize the economy.

Here are the 30 executive orders and actions Biden signed in his first three days
President Joe Biden has signed a flurry of executive orders, actions and memorandums aimed at rapidly addressing the coronavirus pandemic and dismantling many of President Donald Trump's policies.
The 30 executive actions Biden has taken in the first days of his administration include halting funding for the construction of Trump's border wall, reversing Trump's travel ban targeting largely Muslim countries, imposing a mask mandate on federal property, ramping up vaccination supplies and requiring international travelers to provide proof of a negative Covid-19 test prior to traveling to the US.

Some quick facts for those who may not remember or be familiar with the Travel Ban against Muslims:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_Order_13769?wprov=sfla1
Executive Order 13769, titled Protecting the Nation from Foreign Terrorist Entry into the United States, politically labeled as a Muslim Ban by detractors or a travel ban by supporters, was a controversial executive order by United States President Donald Trump. Except for the extent to which it was blocked by various courts, it was in effect from January 27, 2017, until March 6, 2017, when it was superseded by Executive Order 13780. Executive Order 13769 lowered the number of refugees to be admitted into the United States in 2017 to 50,000, suspended the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP) for 120 days, suspended the entry of Syrian refugees indefinitely, directed some cabinet secretaries to suspend entry of those whose countries do not meet adjudication standards under U.S. immigration law for 90 days, and included exceptions on a case-by-case basis. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) listed these countries as Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen. More than 700 travelers were detained, and up to 60,000 visas were "provisionally revoked".
The signing of the Executive Order provoked widespread condemnation and protests and resulted in legal intervention against the enforcement of the order with some calling it a "Muslim ban" because President Trump had previously called for temporarily banning Muslims from entering America soon after the 2015 San Bernardino terrorist attack (a call he reiterated after the Orlando nightclub shooting six months later[citation needed]), and because all of the affected countries had a Muslim majority. A nationwide temporary restraining order (TRO) was issued on February 3, 2017 in the case Washington v. Trump, which was upheld by the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit on February 9, 2017. Consequently, the Department of Homeland Security stopped enforcing portions of the order and the State Department re-validated visas that had been previously revoked. Later, other orders (Executive Order 13780 and Presidential Proclamation 9645) were signed by President Trump and superseded Executive Order 13769. On June 26, 2018, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the third Executive Order (Presidential Proclamation 9645) and its accompanying travel ban in a 5–4 decision, with the majority opinion being written by Chief Justice John Roberts.
On January 20, 2021, President Joe Biden revoked Executive Order 13780 and its related proclamations.

What violence on fraud president inauguration day???. Oh, you mean Antifa rioting in several cities. The last inauguration circa '16, your slave party lit parts of Washington DC on fire and then your slave party DC district attorney dropped all changes against 200 arrests. And you didn't say shit! Nor did I see forums addressing the last four years of murders, looting, burning, over 750 cops in the hospital, thousands and thousands of businesses destroyed in "peaceful protests" Why??? The same reason Jim Crow Biden just raised the cost of insulin. Leftist democrats don't give two shits about people. The fact that you have to brag about so called accomplishments from segregationist Biden tell tells your MO clearly...It doesn't matter who is in power as long as they suppress your enemies. Madame L is just being nice to you with philosophy. However I know leftist democrats intend on destroying my country. You won't get any "unity" from me or the 100 million people that voted for the most accomplished and America loving president in my lifetime. Thank God Trump flipped the circuit courts along with a 1000 other things liberals are ignorant of. Your hands are already tied.

Per Fox News ( a far-right source ):
President Biden has been reversing or pausing some rules put in place under former President Donald Trump this week, including one designed to bring down the price of insulin. The Department of Health and Human Services on Thursday announced that the directive would be put on hold among a number of other measures that were passed under Trump, but are not yet in effect.
https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2150085861723/biden-admin-freezes-trump-hhs-rule-meant-to-lower-insulin-prices
Per Fact Check:
Have insulin prices under President Trump gone from $600 a month to $35 a month? No, the claim takes details out of context. The American Diabetes Association told Lead Stories the $35 price for insulin will apply only to seniors with Medicare Part D drug plan and the lower price will not take effect until 2021. The $35 insulin price does not apply to anyone who is not a senior with this specific drug plan.
President Biden is having this, as well as other orders by the previous administration reviewed. Nothing has been changed. Prices of insulin have not gone up because they were't slated to come down until 2021.
If the insulin decrease had already taken place, then President Biden would've been REVERSING Trump's order, NOT freezing it for review.
See how that works? See how things are taken out of context and then dissiminated by opposing forces? THAT is the pure evil in this country.

Inside Kamala Harris' historic first days
In the hours after her historic inauguration, Kamala Harris beamed into televisions across the country, delivering her first speech as vice president just steps beyond the sitting relic of Abraham Lincoln and a short distance from where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. shared his iconic words that inspired generations.
"Even in dark times, we not only dream, we do. We not only see what has been, we see what can be," she said. "This is American aspiration."
It was a notable move for a vice president to command so much of the spotlight alongside the new president on Inauguration Day.

Statement from President Biden and Vice President Harris on the 48th Anniversary of Roe v. Wade
Today marks the 48th anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court’s landmark ruling in Roe v. Wade.
In the past four years, reproductive health, including the right to choose, has been under relentless and extreme attack. We are deeply committed to making sure everyone has access to care – including reproductive health care – regardless of income, race, zip code, health insurance status, or immigration status.
The Biden-Harris Administration is committed to codifying Roe v. Wade and appointing judges that respect foundational precedents like Roe. We are also committed to ensuring that we work to eliminate maternal and infant health disparities, increase access to contraception, and support families economically so that all parents can raise their families with dignity. This commitment extends to our critical work on health outcomes around the world.
As the Biden-Harris Administration begins in this critical moment, now is the time to rededicate ourselves to ensuring that all individuals have access to the health care they need.
