At 78, Biden becomes the nation’s oldest president upon swearing-in.

President Biden perhaps has the most exhaustive resume of any incoming commander-in-chief, having represented Delaware for 36 years and serving as VP for eight. #InaugurationDay

“The people,” Biden said in his inaugural speech, “the will of the people, has been heard, and the will of the people has been heeded.” #InaugurationDay

“At this hour, my friends, democracy has prevailed.”

Biden continued: “We must end this uncivil war that pits red against blue, rural versus urban, conservative versus liberal.” #InaugurationDay

“My whole soul is in it,” Biden said. “Today, on this January day, my whole soul is in this, bringing America together, uniting our people, uniting our nation.” #InaugurationDay

Kamala Harris was sworn in as vice president of the United States. She is the first woman, the first Black person, and the first South Asian person to hold the nation's second-highest office. #InaugurationDay

Speaking of fave #InaugurationDay moments, Lady Gaga dressed in a dramatic Schiaparelli custom look with a gold microphone in hand for the national anthem ImageImageImage
Watch Lady Gaga's full rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner” on #InaugurationDay
Andrea Hall, the first Black woman to be fire captain at the City of South Fulton Fire Rescue Department, both recited the Pledge of Allegiance and signed it in American Sign Language. Pretty badass. #InaugurationDay
But one of the most commanding voices present was no doubt Amanda Gorman, who read her work “The Hill We Climb” to usher in the new presidency on #InaugurationDay thedailybeast.com/amanda-gorman-…
“While democracy can be periodically delayed, it can never be permanently defeated,” Gorman’s poem read in part. “In this truth, in this faith, we trust. For while we have our eyes on the future, history has its eyes on us.” #InaugurationDay

We can't move on without saying something about Gaga's fierce national anthem.

Campy, patriotic, and, above all, proud, her grand #InaugurationDay performance represented survivors, the underrepresented, and the hopeful—and was blissfully, fabulously gay. thedailybeast.com/lady-gagas-fie…

NEW: Congressional Democrats can’t wait to get started on the agenda of the new president—but their attempt to clean up the mess the last one left behind is threatening to delay that work before it even begins trib.al/3bgLZkX
On Friday, newly-minted Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announced that the article would be sent on Monday, making Tuesday a likely opening day of the trial, according to Senate rules trib.al/3bgLZkX

Biden has 99 problems and Trump is still very much one of them.
trib.al/uWhqF5c
In this episode of @NewAbnormalPod @TheRickWilson, @MollyJongFast, and @gtconway3d tackle the mess Trump left behind, and the latest freaky QAnon conspiracies.

trib.al/uWhqF5c
QAnon believers are still clinging to their conspiracy theories the same way that Donald Trump attempted to cling to the presidency: with nonsensical BS.

The latest? That Trump is still somehow president... in Biden’s body. trib.al/uWhqF5c
