Scot Bertram & Steve Gruber, What will the First Executive Orders look like?

Here are 3 big things you need to know—

 

One — President-elect Donald Trump told supporters last night that four long years of American decline would end with his inauguration today. Trump also previewed a flurry of Day 1 executive orders and promised to repeal President Biden’s executive actions within hours of taking office. He also announced he would visit California on Friday to tour wildfire damage.

 

Two ---- The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is awarding Moderna 590 million-dollars to speed up the development of flu vaccines, including a vaccine for the bird flu.  The funding adds to the 176-million-dollars HHS gave Moderna in July. Of course, nothing bad happened the last time vaccine development, millions of dollars, and Moderna came together, so there’s no reason to worry here.

 

And number three — An Extreme Cold Warning has been issued for the western section of the Upper Peninsula. There the wind chill has already plummeted to 40 degrees below zero and daytime high temperatures will be around zero the next few days. Nearly all of Michigan is already covered  by a Cold Weather Advisory, with wind chills more than 20 below expected soon.
