State Dept. condemns arrests, repression in Russia

Biden will sign 15 executive actions on this first day as president and ask government agencies to take actions in two areas: extending eviction and foreclosure moratoriums and extending the student loan pause -- in a show of force by Biden as he occupies the Oval Office.

The orders take aim at undoing much of President Trump’s signature and controversial actions during his four years as president, including reversing the travel ban on several predominately Muslim countries, stopping construction of the Mexico border wall, rejoining the Paris Climate Agreement and preserving the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.

Incoming White House press secretary Jen Psaki stressed that while Biden’s actions would directly address some actions taken under Trump, the focus of Biden's Inauguration Day work will be looking ahead.

One of Biden’s orders will direct his Secretary of Homeland Security to take all legal actions to preserve and fortify DACA including sending Congress an 8-year pathway to citizenship for immigrants with no legal status and expanding admissions for refugees into the U.S.

Biden will also rescind the Trump Administration’s 1776 Commission and revoke Trump’s executive order that limited federal agencies from implementing diversity and inclusion training.

His order will also task the Office of Management and Budget with investing in underserved communities and communities of color.

And following last summer’s landmark Supreme Court case that protects LGBTQ+ workers from discrimination, another executive order plans to build off of that to ensure the federal government interprets Title VII and the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by this decision.

The coronavirus pandemic is also a Day One issue and Biden will sign an order implementing his face mask requirement in federal buildings and on federal land, as part of launching his “100 Days Mask Challenge,” which asks Americans to mask up for that time period.

Biden also plans to rejoin the Paris Agreement on Climate Change on his first day in office and encourage federal agencies to review and appropriately address federal actions taken under the Trump administration, including revoking the Keystone pipeline permit.

Trump's supporters in Florida are planning to line the streets in a show of support for his final presidential motorcade Wednesday morning from Palm Beach International Airport to Mar-a-Lago.

Trump is expected to land around 11 a.m. and in an email Tuesday to supporters, Club 45, a popular pro-Trump Florida group, urged locals to show up early to line the streets and give the president "the largest welcome home greeting ever."

The email included a photo of Trump waving from inside another motorcade.

Just hours before they are to be sworn into office, President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris honored the 400,000 Americans who have died as a result of the novel coronavirus with a tribute in front of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.

After an invocation, Harris called on Americans to stand together.

"For many months we have grieved by ourselves. Tonight we grieve and begin healing together. Though we may be physically separated, we, the American people, are united in spirit," she said.

Biden thanked the country's nurses and also echoed the call for unity.

"To heal we must remember, and it’s hard sometimes to remember, but that’s how we heal," he said.

As the ceremony ended, 400 lights along the pool were lit up, symbolizing the lives lost. Church bells around the country rang in unison and gospel singer Yolanda Adams sang Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah."

The White House has released a pre-taped farewell address from President Trump on his final full day in office.

"We did what we came here to do – and so much more," Trump said, speaking from scripted remarks directly into the camera and standing behind a lectern with the presidential seal. "This week, we inaugurate a new administration and pray for its success in keeping America safe and prosperous. We extend our best wishes, and we also want them to have luck -- a very important word."

Trump thanked several people, including Vice President Mike Pence.

"Most of all, I want to thank the American people," Trump said. "To serve as your president has been an honor beyond description. Thank you for this extraordinary privilege."

Trump then condemned the riot at the Capitol and called on Americans to "unite around our shared values."

"All Americans were horrified by the assault on our Capitol. Political violence is an attack on everything we cherish as Americans. It can never be tolerated," Trump said.

He warned that the greatest danger the country faces as he leaves office is "a loss of confidence in our national greatness" -- going on to talk about the shared "heritage" of the country under threat and condemning "political censorship and blacklisting."

"Now, as I prepare to hand power over to a new administration at noon on Wednesday, I want you to know that the movement we started is only just beginning," he said, closing out the 20-minute farewell address.
