Vice President Kamala Harris Remarks to the United Nations at the 65th Session of the Commission on the Status of Women

Remarks by President Biden on the Anniversary of the COVID-19 Shutdown MARCH 11, 2021 • SPEECHES AND REMARKS East Room 8:01 P.M. EST THE PRESIDENT: Good evening, my fellow Americans. Tonight, I’d like to talk to you about where we are as we mark one year since everything stopped because of this pandemic. A year ago, we were hit with a virus that was met with silence and spread unchecked. Denials for days, weeks, then months that led to more deaths, more infections, more stress, and more loneliness. Photos and videos from 2019 feel like they were taken in another era. The last vacation. The last birthday with friends. The last holiday with the extended family. While it was different for everyone, we all lost something. A collective suffering. A collective sacrifice. A year filled with the loss of life — and the loss of living for all of us. But, in the loss, we saw how much there was to gain in appreciation, respect, and gratitude. Finding light in the darkness is a very American thing ...

This video shows the first 360-degree view of the landing site of NASA’s Perseverance rover on Mars, as captured by the rover’s color Navigation Cameras, or Navcams. The Navcams are on the remote sensing mast (or “head”) of the rover.  Perseverance possesses the most cameras of any Mars rover to date, with 19 on the rover. Perseverance landed on Mars’ Jezero Crater on February 18, 2021. These images were obtained on February 20, 2021.  A key objective for Perseverance’s mission on Mars is astrobiology, including the search for signs of ancient microbial life. The rover will characterize the planet’s geology and past climate, pave the way for human exploration of the Red Planet, and be the first mission to collect and cache Martian rock and regolith.

American painter William Tolman Carlton’s  Watch Meeting—Dec. 31st 1862—Waiting for the Hour  depicts a group of enslaved men, women, and children waiting for President Abraham Lincoln to issue the Emancipation Proclamation the following day. Originally placed in the Lincoln Bedroom at the White House, President Obama had it moved to the exterior of the Oval Office in 2013. In recognition of the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation, White House curator Bill Allman explained the painting and shared why President Obama selected it to hang near the Oval Office:

The Tiny Desk is working from home for the foreseeable future.  Introducing NPR Music's Tiny Desk (home) concerts, bringing  you performances from across the country and the world.  It's the same spirit — stripped-down sets, an intimate setting  — just a different space. Miley Cyrus has always understood that music is theater.  So it's no surprise that, visiting the imaginative space  that is the Tiny Desk, she transforms it into something  both fantastical and true to her topsy-turvy Mileyness. Cyrus ruled preteen hearts on the small screen before  mastering pop stardom's big stages, and throughout  her career she's played with sound and image  in unexpected and even controversial ways.  And she's never balanced pop's glorious artifice  with her own soulful authenticity more self-assuredly  than she does on her latest album,  the rock and roll manifesto Plastic Hearts. The songs Cyrus offers are as direct and affecti...

Woof! 

  Joe Biden's full inaugural address: 'End this civil war' Chief Justice Roberts, Vice President Harris, Speaker Pelosi, Leader Schumer, Leader McConnell, Vice President Pence, and my distinguished guests, my fellow Americans, this is America's day. This is democracy's day, a day of history and hope, of renewal and resolve. Through a crucible for the ages, America has been tested anew. And America has risen to the challenge. Today we celebrate the triumph, not of a candidate, but of a cause, the cause of democracy. The people, the will of the people, has been heard, and the will of the people has been heeded. We've learned again that democracy is precious. Democracy is fragile. And at this hour, my friends, democracy has prevailed. So now, on this hallowed ground, where just a few days ago violence sought to shake the Capitol’s very foundation, we come together as one nation under God, indivisible, to carry out the peaceful transfer of power as we have for more ...
