Even though, Duckworth/Hirono backed down (with "assurances"), I still agree with their overall message. Asian-Americans are under represented in both the government and the Democratic Party and that needs to change.

Anyways, I apologize for getting a bit too testy yesterday. My bad.

The Cabinet photo is OK. But's also dumb at the same time. They're all vaccinated - they could have been closer together and/or not wearing masks (just for the photo).

Really, you don't understand why an administration that is desperately trying to make sure that Americans continue to adhere to social distancing procedures wouldn't want to do that? Not to mention the extremely predictable right-wing outrage.
The right is outraged at everything Biden does. Also, the CDC says that vaccinated people can have smaller gatherings without masks.

Of course they are outraged at everything he does, but that doesn't mean he needs to needlessly hand them ammo. The picture is a fitting representation of the times and furthers the administration's pro-social distancing message. Yes, the CDC doesn't deem this to be necessary for a group of vaccinated people, but the public probably would not be thrilled to see a group of "government elites" being able to congregate indoors without masks while they themselves are still being told to not do so, regardless of the nuance.
Fair enough.

So it turns out that Lander wasn't just "forgotten," Tender. Consideration of his nomination was delayed as a result of Senators being concerned about his multiple meetings with one Jeffrey Epstein & any potential relationship therewith:

Oh wow, that's terrible. Biden should withdraw Lander's nomination.

Why hasn't he nominated any Ambassadors yet?
He has. 9 so far and more to come.

Is Biden trying to punish the Japanese or something? Sorry Japan, you'll soon have to deal with Rahm Sad
