According to the Associated Press, Biden is scheduled to announce the delayed withdrawal date in the upcoming days, and will set the date as the 20th anniversary of the September 11 attacks. His decision could escalate the conflict between the U.S. and the Taliban as the September 11 date is a delay from the date that was set forth by former President Donald Trump’s administration. In February 2020, the Taliban agreed with Trump’s administration to stop attacks against Afghanistan and to conduct peaceful discussions with the Afghan government as long as the U....

“One more year, or five more years, of U.S. military presence would not have made a difference if the Afghan military cannot or will not hold its own country,” Biden said in a White House statement. “An endless American presence in the middle of another country’s civil conflict was not acceptable to me.” He also attacked former President Donald Trump for cutting a deal with the Taliban that he said left them “in the strongest position militarily since 2001,” pulling 2,500 troops before he left office and imposing a May 1, 2021 deadline for withdrawing U....

In an MSNBC interview with Morning Joe hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, the 2020 presidential candidate was asked how he would implement his mandatory buyback program to account for non-compliant gun owners. O’Rourke replied that there must be “consequences” under any law that is “flagrantly abused.” “In that case, I think that there would be a visit by law enforcement to recover that firearm and to make sure that it is purchased, bought back, so that it cannot be potentially used against somebody else,” O’Rourke told the Morning Joe co-hosts....

Al Gore’s acceptance speech in Los Angeles didn’t read well on paper; it lacked the elegance and wit of George W. Bush’s Philadelphia story. Yet by energetically working his way through “the issues” so maligned by world-weary journalists, Gore connected with the kitchen-table concerns of ordinary Americans and at long last developed his own political profile. If the underlying motivation for those leaning to Bush is “change for change’s sake,” the average voter’s bottom line on Gore is increasingly: “He’ll do....

Within a month, Ford and Weidenfeld had their answer. Ford was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent a mastectomy. Weidenfeld says it was at Ford’s insistence that the press statement talked honestly about the First Lady’s health. It was a decision Ford made “on the operating table,” Weidenfeld says. At the time, it was a radical move. “Cancer was not a word that could be mentioned out loud,” Weidenfeld says....

The show’s cancellation was reported on Monday. In a statement, the show’s creators Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch expressed their disappointment to not get to film the show’s fourth and final season. “We’ll miss our cast of weirdo clowns and our heroic crew. It was the best job,” the two wrote. Gilpin echoed the two’s statement in her remembrance, calling her time on GLOW “the best job I’ll ever have....

Oil companies aren’t likely to be first on anybody’s green list, since they’re producing the very stuff of greenhouse-gas emissions. But when it comes to facing a warming world, both as a world citizen and as a supplier of energy, parent firm Royal Dutch Shell is ahead of its rivals. It is the only oil giant to make the Global 100 List of Most Sustainable Corporations this year as it continues to diversify into alternative energy and take steps to reduce its own carbon footprint....

The Antiviral Program for Pandemics program prioritized 19 different antivirals for testing and clinical trials to evaluate how effective they are in treating individuals with COVID-19. It’s possible that one of these drugs will be available within the year, experts say. The program is also geared towards the development of antivirals for high-risk viruses that could potentially cause other pandemics. This is just one prong of the government’s plan to be better equipped against present and future viral threats....

In an interview on MSNBC’s The Last Word, conducted Monday morning in Grand Rapids, Michigan, host Lawrence O’Donnell told Biden that two soldiers were “killed yesterday in Iraq.” “You say your vote in the Iraq War was based on the president’s representations, that this wasn’t about going to war, this was about presenting a clear threat to Saddam Hussein,” the host said. “Bernie Sanders said ‘I saw right through that, I knew what George Bush was up to....

The odds of that perilous prospect becoming reality increased exponentially on March 9, when the White House introduced its “Executive Order on Ensuring Responsible Development of Digital Assets.” The order might not only foretell the further erosion of the world’s reserve currency—and with it the wealth, economic dynamism and power that currency underpins—but the further erosion of our liberties. It calls for mobilizing the federal bureaucracy to regulate digital assets, including cryptocurrencies, and to prepare for the creation of a U....

A journalist had asked Psaki at a briefing about comments Trump had made regarding his intent to use executive privilege to block subpoenas issued to former Trump advisors by the House Select Committee to investigate the January 6 attack. Psaki said she was not aware of any outreach from the former president and said the administration does not “get regular outreach” from the Trump camp. In regards to how the Biden administration would proceed, she offered the following comments:...

With COVID cases continuing to increase and states imposing restrictions, Biden’s presidential inaugural committee is looking at how to control the crowds who usually gather on Ball and along the parade route from the Capitol to the White House, NBC reported. The committee will also look at the best way to hold smaller indoor events that are usually a staple for the day, such as the congressional luncheon in the Capitol’s National Statuary Hall and the balls attended by the new president and first lady....
