Feeling good.

2. Setting the example.

What did he say? It isn't the example of our power, but the power of our example that allows us to lead. I paraphrased that, I know, but I remember it from his speech.

4. Yes that was very good. So happy to see this taken seriously!

3. Grown ups

“The Biden administration understands the powerful message that adhering to their own guidelines and modeling the best public health behavior sends, and knows that that’s the best path to climbing out of this until we can get a shot in the arm of every American.”

To that end, most of Biden’s White House staff is working from home, coordinating with colleagues by email or phone. While the White House aims to have more people working onsite next week, officials intend to operate with substantially reduced staffing for the duration of the pandemic.

Jeffrey Wexler is the White House director of COVID-19 operations, overseeing the implementation of safety guidelines throughout the administration, a role he also served during the transition and campaign. During her first press briefing, White House press secretary Jen Psaki suggested those working in the office would receive daily testing and N95 masks would be mandatory.

Indeed, Biden’s new federal mask mandate executive order requires that federal employees, contractors and others in federal buildings and on federal lands wear masks and adhere to social distancing requirements. The executive order allows for agency heads to make “case-by-case exceptions” — like, for instance, Psaki’s. She wears one until she steps up to the podium for briefings.

5. Cue Republican meltdown in 3 . . . 2 . . . 1

Fox is already losing its collective shit that a new president means new policies, as if elections should have consequences for the winners and the losers.

7. Show us how the Grown Ups do it, please!

No more whining, no posturing for the camera, and no more lies.

Isn't it amazing how it looks when it makes sense?
