President Joe Biden’s address to Congress will fall on his 99th day in office as he looks to claim progress during his first 100 days.

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

President Biden signed an order directing the government to expand access to voter registration and election information, among other directives.

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 said “I don’t want to be a burden” and will go next week when a presidential visit won’t get in the way of Texas recovery.

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

Biden also directed his National Security Council to build out its capability to counter domestic violent extremism threats.

The president will invoke the Defense Production Act to boost the supply of testing and vaccination supplies, among a range of other directives.
