In his inaugural address in January, Joe Biden promised to use his presidency to ârestore the soul of Americaâ. He would unite the nation, defuse âanger, resentment and hatredâ, and lead Americans back to a world where they treated âeach other with dignity and respectâ.
Six months later, Biden is still preaching the unity gospel, and regularly assures his fellow Americans that âthereâs not a single thing we arenât able to do when we do it togetherâ.

Good morning.
The Texas senator Ted Cruz has come under fire for going on holiday to a sunny Mexican tourist resort while millions of his constituents face water, food and power shortages from a deadly winter storm. Cruz implied that he had only taken the nearly 1,000-mile flight on Wednesday to accompany his children on the plane, despite having large quantities of luggage. Back in Texas, he admitted it was âobviously a mistakeâ as protesters gathered outside his house. He had reportedly planned to return on Saturday, but hastily changed his flights and headed back on Thursday as the backlash grew.
