Biden lifts Trump-era ban blocking legal immigration to US

Read full article: Biden lifts Trump-era ban blocking legal immigration to US

Biden stated in his proclamation Wednesday that shutting the door on legal immigrants “does not advance the interests of the United States." “To the contrary, it harms the United States, including by preventing certain family members of United States citizens and lawful permanent residents from joining their families here. It also harms industries in the United States that utilize talent from around the world," Biden stated in his proclamation. Immigration lawyers said they were surprised Biden did not immediately lift the freeze like he did with Trump's travel ban imposed against people from mostly Muslim-majority countries. As a result, some immigrants blocked by the travel ban found they still could not come to the United States because of the freeze.

Biden boosts pandemic lending to smallest businesses

Read full article: Biden boosts pandemic lending to smallest businesses

(AP Photo/Evan Vucci)WASHINGTON – President Joe Biden announced changes Monday to target more federal pandemic assistance to the nation’s smallest businesses and ventures owned by women and people of color. Biden says a lot of these mom and pop businesses “got muscled out of the way” by larger businesses seeking federal money in the early days of the pandemic. "America’s small businesses are hurting, hurting badly and they need help now,” Biden said. Under the pandemic-era Paycheck Protection Program, the administration is establishing a two-week window, starting Wednesday, in which only businesses with fewer than 20 employees — the overwhelming majority of small businesses — can apply for the forgivable loans. The Biden effort is aimed at correcting disparities in how the program was administered by the Trump administration.

In addition to signaling a willingness to talk with Iran, the administration also reversed Trump’s determination that all U.N. sanctions against Iran had been restored. The U.S. has not participated in a meeting of those participants since Trump withdrew from the deal and began steadily ramping up sanctions on Iran. The Trump administration had imposed the severe restrictions, which essentially confined them to their U.N. mission and the U.N. headquarters building in New York. “It is concerning the Biden Administration is already making concessions in an apparent attempt to re-enter the flawed Iran deal," he said. In Iran, President Hassan Rouhani expressed hope Thursday that the Biden administration will rejoin the accord and lift the U.S. sanctions that Washington re-imposed under Trump, according to state television.

Biden assailed the country's army for the coup, calling it a “direct assault on the country’s transition to democracy and rule of law.” The coup in Myanmar, also known as Burma, has also been roundly condemned internationally. “The United States removed sanctions on Burma over the past decade based on progress toward democracy,” Biden said in a statement. She had lived under house arrest for years as she tried to push her country toward democracy and then became its de facto leader after her National League for Democracy won elections in 2015.

(AP Photo/Evan Vucci)NEW YORK The White House abandoned social distancing for reporters attending President Donald Trump's Rose Garden event Friday because it looks better, according to the aide who ordered it. Seats for reporters at recent White House events had been placed 6 feet apart to protect against the spread of the coronavirus. The decision needlessly put reporters' health at risk, said Jonathan Karl of ABC News, president of the White House Correspondents' Association. White House spokesman Judd Deere said it was his decision to move the seats closer together. There was no reason to put them together, except so that President Trump could telegraph a false message.

AP photo/Evan VucciATLANTA (AP) - A federal judge on Tuesday temporarily blocked Georgia's restrictive new abortion law from taking effect, following the lead of other judges who have blocked similar measures in other states. Lawyers with the American Civil Liberties Union, Planned Parenthood and the Center for Reproductive Rights in June filed a constitutional challenge to the law on behalf of Georgia abortion providers and an advocacy group. U.S. District Judge Steve Jones wrote in an order Tuesday that the current laws governing abortion in the state shall remain in effect for the time being. "Today is a tremendous victory for the women of Georgia and for the Constitution," ACLU of Georgia legal director Sean Young said. The law makes exceptions in the case of rape and incest, as long as the woman files a police report first.

Georgia governor orders agencies to cut upcoming budgets

Read full article: Georgia governor orders agencies to cut upcoming budgets

Brian Kemp has ordered all state agencies in Georgia to cut their proposed budgets by at least 4% for the 2020 fiscal year. In addition, Kemp called for state agencies to find ways to cut 6% from their proposed budgets in 2021. A memo from the Office of Planning and Budget reads in part:"Georgia ended FY 2019 with revenues exceeding estimates and our economy remains strong as we move into FY 2020 and look ahead to FY 2021. Yet, even while state revenues grow, agencies should be continuously looking for ways to carry out their responsibilities more efficiently." As originally reported by WSB-TV in Atlanta, it's the first time state agencies have gotten an order like this since the recession hit in the late 2000s.
