Our optimism has been battered, ourresilience strained and character, tested but as we put the election behind us, we are called upon to remember the things that unite us and that includes the struggles we share. We must return our attention to the pandemic. We must fight the virus together and we must start tonight. This year, earlier we took steps to contain covid19 by issuing a safer at home order. We estimated then our efforts would save between 300 and 1400 lives. By ther was struck down wisconsin supreme court, a decision that hamstrung our abilit
Act on the same day the Supreme Court heard a challenge to the law. Mr. Biden took questions on the transition and mr. Trumps refusal to concede. His is 25 minutes. Good afternoon. Today the Supreme Court heard arguments in the case that could strike down the Affordable Care act in its entirety.
