Biden signs significant executive actions on climate change and restoring Obamacare. His climate action calls for converting the federal vehicle pool to all electric vehicles. And, the government must now take into account all the climate costs before approving any federal permits.
Wall Street Hedge Funds feel the pitchforks as Reddit-fueled retail traders take revenge. Think about the big GameStop story as the revenge for what those very same Hedge Funds did to Toys R’ Us. Gotta say, it’s fun to see “eat the rich” trending.

WITF, Harrisburg’s NPR affiliate, has made the editorial decision to mention how key Republicans played a role in the insurrection by signing onto letters to overturn the 2020 election results whenever they report on those republicans from here on out. For example: “Sen. (name), who signed a letter asking members of Congress to delay certifying Pennsylvania’s electoral votes despite no evidence that would call those results into question, today introduced a bill …”
A thirty-year-old bartender in Montgomery County has tested positive for the UK variant of the coronavirus. That’s one the variants that spreads more easily and more quickly than the original strain.
