The multiple crises that President Joe Biden faces are too many and too deep and systemic to be tackled in the old way or papered over â they require massive state intervention comparable in scale and character to Franklin Delano Rooseveltâs âNew Dealâ of the 1930s, and embedding in a new global grand bargain acknowledging multipolarity and the effective twilight of the USâs global preponderance. Just like white Americans must accommodate the fact of their âmajority-minorityâ status in 20 years â they will be the largest single racial group but no longer a majority of the population â so
Biden administration progress on climate change will have to overcome roadblocks left by the Trump administration and some arcane Senate rules. But hope springs eternal.

Democrats now control the White House, Senate, and House of Representatives for the first time in a decade, albeit with razor thin Congressional majorities.

After arriving at the White House on Wednesday afternoon, the new president will be revoking a permit for the controversial Keystone XL Pipeline that is opposed across Indian Country. The oil pipeline will not be able to cross tribal treaty and ancestral territory in Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota or South Dakota without the permit.
But the anticipated order is just the start, according to the incoming White House. From restoring the boundaries of the Bears Ears National Monument in Utah to stopping energy development in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska, at least on a temporary basis, here are actions being taken on Day 1 of the Joe Bide administration that will impact tribes and their citizens.

The president recently signed yet another Presidential Proclamation that extends the ability of certain foreign nationals from being able to enter into the U.S. until March 31, 2021. This move tacks several months onto the earlier Presidential Proclamations signed into effect in 2020 (both PP 10014 and 10052). What do employers need to know about this new proclamation signed on December 31, 2020, especially in light of the impending change in White House leadership?
The Proclamations: The Basics
Effective on April 23, 2020, PP 10052 suspended entry into the US for any individual seeking to enter the U.S. as an immigrant (i.e. permanent resident or green card holder) who (1) was outside the U.S. after the effective date, (2) did not have a valid immigration visa in their passport, and (3) did not have a valid travel document permitting travel to the U.S. This proclamation effectively closed entry to the U.S. to anyone who
