    As Putin’s dictatorship announces they’ll imprison Navalny for years for the crime of failing to die when they tried to assassinate him, he posts to make clear he’s not intending to kill himself in jail, walks carefully, and “has no heart troubles.”

    Just an hour after being confirmed, Secretary @LloydAustin is getting to work. Congratulations Secretary Austin on your history-making achievement—confirmed overwhelmingly as the first African-American SecDef. The Pentagon is in great hands. https://t.co/0nJB927kcK

    Such sad news. Hank Aaron was a giant on & off the field. He stood tall, even when hounded by death threats as he closed in on @MLB home run record. He helped African-Americans break many barriers & never lost sight of all that’s left to do. #RIPHankAaron https://t.co/kJFshmIeUO

    As promised, @POTUS ended the Muslim Ban within hours of taking office. It was a truly horrible policy. But it is worth recalling the legal activism & spontaneous solidarity shown by so many Americans when Trump issued the ban.

    The US is once again officially joining the Paris Climate Accord that our diplomats and scientists worked so hard to negotiate. But for this to mean anything, tackling the climate crisis must be at the center of America’s entire governing agenda. No time left to spare! https://t.co/KgXFaxe8ss

    Such great and important news about Avril Haines, and such a wonderful show of bipartisan support! Now for the sake of our security, @ABlinken, @LloydAustin, and @AliMayorkas (who each had smooth and very substantive hearings) should swiftly follow. https://t.co/bf5js0Ce9N

    Biden plans 15 executive actions on his first day in office

    The incoming administration isn’t waiting to get started. But they also aren’t going quite as far, as fast, as progressives want.
