President Joe Biden pardons his son, Hunter Biden

President Joe Biden will fulfill a two-year promise to visit Africa as he departs Sunday night for Angola, a trip aimed at highlighting US investment in the continent under his watch in the face of China’s deepening inroads in the region.

Biden’s three-day visit to oil-rich Angola comes at the tail end of his presidency, as he’ll hand over power to President-elect Donald Trump in January. The trip provides Biden with another chance to cement relations with a key US partner in Africa even as the continent prepares for the return of Trump, who made disparaging comments about African countries in his first term.

When Biden lands in the capital of Luanda on Monday, it will mark the first time a sitting president has visited sub-Saharan Africa since 2015, when then-President Barack Obama visited Kenya and Ethiopia. It will also be the first time a US president has visited Angola, with which Biden has sought to shore up relations in recent years.

As he hosted African leaders in Washington for a 2022 summit, Biden vowed to visit the continent the following year but ultimately missed that deadline. He scheduled a trip to Angola for this October, which was postponed due to a pair of devastating hurricanes hitting the US.

Biden’s trip will highlight investments in the Lobito Corridor, an 800-mile railway project backed by the United States and Europe aiming to facilitate the transport of critical minerals from interior Africa to Angola’s western port for exporting.

The initiative is at the center of the Biden administration’s efforts to boost investment in Africa to blunt China’s growing influence in the region, which has outpaced that of the US. Beijing has poured billions of dollars into infrastructure projects across the continent over the last decade through its Belt and Road Initiative. In September, Chinese President Xi Jinping pledged $50 billion in financial support for the continent as well as military aid.

US suspends strategic partnership with Georgia after EU membership talks halted

President Biden took to social media to promote Small Business Saturday and his administration’s efforts to boost small businesses, including investing more than $50 billion into the space.

Biden, with less than two months left in office to cement his legacy, announced a new initiative Friday to boost federal aid for small businesses. In a statement Friday, the administration called these businesses the “engines of our economy and the heart and soul of our communities.”

Under the new program, the administration will expand caps on lending programs, improve forecasting of upcoming federal contract opportunities, increase access to federal subcontracts and leverage research and development for small disadvantaged business (SDBs), according to a fact sheet from The White House.

More than 20 million new business applications have been filed since Biden took office in 2021, the most in any term, per the release.

The investment comes just over a year since Biden unveiled the administration’s new focus on strengthening partnerships and investing in small and rural businesses.

Anyone have an explanation?

It really depends if his best work - getting us out of Covid, ending the Covid recession, the inflation reduction act, bipartisan infrastructure law, bipartisan safer communities act, lowering Medicare costs and drugs, support for Ukraine, etc - is repealed or (hopefully) kept. 

As for his personal character? Well, stepping down for the race will always be remembered as an act of humility to me, even if it was too late. Still, I just pray the man has a good retirement - and is remembered well in history.

After the election has gone to Trump… how will Biden’s legacy be remembered - as a president and a person? 

The Biden administration's eleventh hour move to expand Medicare coverage for anti-obesity drugs is likely to be popular among seniors, putting the Trump administration — which would ultimately decide whether to carry out the expansion — in the hot seat.

Under current law, Medicare is barred by Congress from covering drugs for weight loss. They're covered only as an optional benefit on state Medicaid plans, and coverage varies by state.

Biden administration officials say they're reinterpreting the statute by addressing obesity as a chronic condition rather than weight loss.

The Biden administration's move, which would take effect in 2026, would expand access to drugs like Novo Nordisk's Ozempic or Wegovy for 3.4 million Americans on Medicare and another 4 million on Medicaid who are obese, per the White House. Officials said they do not expect this would raise seniors' premiums.

It's unclear how the Trump administration will view Medicare coverage of GLP-1s. Health and Human Services secretary nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has slammed use of the drugs while CMS administrator nominee Mehmet Oz has sung their praises.

The cost is expected to be a key sticking point, particularly as the administration promises to cut back federal spending, Capstone's Hunter Hammond wrote in a note.

We all know what happened... The information silos created by Elon and Russia basically duped millions of people. It was only possible because it's impossible to tell who's real online. So Imagine If we built a decentralized system built on the blockchain that can confirm identities without compromising privacy

The system confirms verified identities for real users that platforms can recognize without ever exposing personal info. Each person is limited to one verified account per platform, cutting down on bot networks and fake profiles. It uses privacy-preserving methods, like zero-knowledge proofs and hashing, making it impossible to reverse engineer user data. This keeps personal info private while ensuring authenticity.

As social media becomes overrun by misinformation and echo chambers, a decentralized verification system like this could offer a solution. It’s about giving platforms the ability to trust real users and making it far harder for bots and bad actors to shape public opinion.

Basically, do we take action to secure social media, or do we keep letting it slide? Could a decentralized approach like this actually turn things around?
