First Dog Major Back at White House After Post-Bite Training
May 1 - WASHINGTON—President Joe Biden’s younger dog, Major, is back at the White House after extra training—including spending time with some cats—to address biting incidents, first lady Jill Biden said in an NBC interview broadcast on Friday.
Major, a German Shepherd rescue, received training outside the White House this month after two biting incidents.
“He’s back,” Jill Biden said in the interview, conducted on Thursday. “He is such a sweet, lovable dog, he really is.”
The Bidens are expecting to bring a cat—a female—into their fold soon, she said, and Major has been prepped for that.
“That was part of his training, they took him into a shelter with cats,” she said. “He did fine.” source from

Remarks by Vice President Harris on the Progress Made During the First 100 Days in Office
APRIL 30, 2021
...So, it is wonderful to be back in Baltimore, and especially on this, our 100th day of our administration. I would say, today is a good day, Baltimore.
You know, 100 days ago, just after President Joe Biden and I were sworn in, I stood in front of the Lincoln Memorial. And I talked about what I call “American aspiration.” American aspiration.
I talked about how, in America, we not only dream; we do. We not only see what has been; we see what can be. We shoot for the moon, and then we plant our flag on it.
So, for a minute, let’s go back to where our nation was 100 days ago. About 2 out of 330 million Americans, at that time, were fully vaccinated. More than 10 million Americans were out of work. Schools were closed. Businesses were closed. And beyond the pandemic, our democracy was under assault. And our Capitol had just been attacked by insurgents.
All of that was going on when the President and I took our oath of office. But as daunting as these challenges were, we were not deterred. And our nation was not deterred.
We had a plan to get America back on track. We had faith
that the American people, when given the opportunity, would come together and would rise to meet the moment. And you have. You have... more

...You know, folks. The fact is that, if I — in the past when I’ve ended up at the 30th Street Station — Amtrak station — it’s probably because I took the late train back from Washington and I slept through the Delaware stop — literally, not figuratively. I only did it about four times. But — but I would have — I wouldn’t have missed this for the world.
It’s an honor to celebrate Amtrak’s 50th anniversary. And I look forward to a bright future for all of American rail... more

...Can they raise their families, get to work, get to the grocery store, satisfy their basic responsibilities and functions to raise a family and to be productive in their community and in their lives? And so, that’s the context in which I think about this very important subject, which is the subject of public transit.
And, you know, when I think about it, I think about: Good transit equals vibrant communities. Right? So if we think about it in terms of an investment in public transit, it is an investment in job creation. It is an investment in improving communities.

US President Joe Biden stops to pick a dandelion for first lady Jill Biden near the White House in Washington.
Feline great: Bidens getting cat for White House
'She is waiting in the wings,' first lady Jill Biden said of a White House cat
May 1 - Stand by for a major power shift in the White House: the dog-loving Bidens are getting a cat.
"Yes that is true ... she is waiting in the wings," first lady Jill Biden told NBC's Today show, in an interview broadcast on Friday.
The long-rumoured arrival of a first feline, which Press Secretary Jen Psaki once warned would "break the internet," means a new challenge for the Bidens' rambunctious German Shepherd Major.
He has already experienced teething problems in settling into America's most famous address.
The young former rescue dog, a faithful companion to the far older German shepherd Champ, was sent away for training in April after several biting incidents.
President Joe Biden said Champ's unpresidential behaviour was down to the way he gets surprised by Secret Service agents and others appearing around every corner in the busy White House complex.
Now the over-eager Major will have to use his new coping skills with a cat too.
"That was part of his training. They took him into a shelter with cats and he did fine," Ms Biden said. source from

Radical stance: President Joe Biden in the House with fellow Democrats Maxine Waters and Bernie Sanders on Wednesday
Biden’s first 100 days: US president starts fast and aims high
The Democrat has begun his term with a radicalism that belies his party’s thin congressional majority. His $6trn spending plans and global ambitions are the mark of a man who knows the clock is ticking, writes Robert Schmuhl
May 1 - ...This March 11 — 50 days into his term — Biden signed the $1.9trn American Rescue Plan to provide relief to millions disrupted by the pandemic and to stimulate the country’s economy.
Twenty days later, he proposed the American Jobs Plan, a $2.3trn initiative to modernise infrastructure and improve an array of climate-focused or quality-of-life concerns. In an address to Congress this Wednesday, he unveiled another, near-$2trn programme, the American Families Plan, as he passed 100 days in the White House. Its measures include enhancing the US’s “social infrastructure”, including education and healthcare.
Roosevelt’s early accomplishments occurred in his first 100 days, a milestone he acknowledged in a radio broadcast. His designation of that period became an enduring yardstick for presidential beginnings.
In Biden’s case, he has prioritised the pandemic and undoing policies of Donald Trump’s administration. Immediately after taking the oath of office, he approved 17 measures that, among other things, brought the US back into the Paris climate accord and the World Health Organisation. He also halted his predecessor’s signature undertaking: the Mexican border wall.
Before entering the White House, Biden set a goal of delivering 100 million vaccine jabs during his first 100 days. That number was reached 42 days early, so he declared a new target: 200 million by day 100, which was surpassed on April 21, eight days ahead of schedule... more
