What’s New with President Biden? Getting the Word Out of Trump’s Campaign and Making Sense Out of His Critique of the Justice Department

Congress returns this week with a busy agenda. The first thing on the list is voting for the leader of each chamber. President-elect Donald Trump wants to influence these decisions and his allies are pushing to make that happen.

The leader of the Justice Department is a big decision that will be made by Trump. He criticized the DOJ on the campaign trail. Soon, he will have the opportunity to address his grievances.

President Biden travels to Peru and Brazil this week to meet with leaders of the world’s biggest economies at two summits: APEC in Lima and the G20 in Rio. This is his last significant opportunity to leave an impact on the world stage, but it comes on the heels of Trump’s victory. Biden finds himself in a difficult position regarding his final message.

A Conversation With Gascón: “The First Mexican cartels Musical” — Tom Homan, An U.S. Border Czar

One of Trump’s signature campaign promises was to “launch the largest deportation program of criminals in the history of America.” Now, he’s appointed a ‘border czar,’ Tom Homan, to carry it out. Homan was a part of the first term of Trump. Morning Edition interviews Andrew Selee, the president of the Migration Policy institute about a plan for mass deportation and if living in a red or blue state matters.

The world’s first Mexican cartels musical focusing on a trans woman has a title role that is played by Karla Sofia Gascn. When Gascón’s character is introduced, she is known as the cartel leader “Manitas” del Monte, who rules by fear and deadly force. She would like to leave the life of violence behind and become a woman. She emerges from gender-affirming surgery to do good things in her past. Morning Edition and Up First host Steve Inskeep spoke with Gascón about what drew her to the role. The character and more were talked about by her.

Former and future President Donald Trump is set to visit his old office today, the Oval Office. President Biden invited his predecessor and successor for a ceremonial ceremony intended to signal the desire for a smooth and peaceful transfer of power.

Trump called Obama a good man and said it was an honor to meet him and that he looked forward to being with him more often in the future.

Obama said he wanted to facilitate a transition that would set Trump up for success. Even though they have differing political views, Obama believes it is important for everyone to come together to deal with the many challenges that we face.

The meeting would last for 10 or 15 minutes and we would get to know each other. “We had never met each other. I have the respect of my peers. The meeting lasted for almost an hour and a half. And it could have — as far as I’m concerned, it could have gone on for a lot longer.”

Donald Trump ignored it when in office. He responded to reporters’ questions like he was responding to them, and sometimes sparred with them.

The Biden-Chinese Dispatch: How the U.S. needs to adjust their trade practices, not just threaten retaliation

If the Trump-Obama relationship was strained, the one between Biden and Trump is even worse. Biden campaigned against Trump twice, winning in 2020 with an argument that Trump was an existential threat to U.S. democracy.

Then during the 2024 campaign, their one meeting on a debate stage in late June essentially ended Biden’s bid for a second term. The late months of the campaign were when Trump bragged about his hit in the debate and decried the “coup” that forced Biden out of the race.

LIMA, Peru — President Biden will meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping on Saturday on the sidelines of the APEC summit in Lima, Peru, a senior U.S. administration official told reporters on Wednesday.

Biden could use his meeting with Xi to underscore that China needs to change its trade practices, not just threaten retaliation, said Danny Russel, a top State Department official in the Obama administration, in an interview.

“This is a tough, complicated relationship between the U.S .and China, and so whatever the next administration decides, they’re going to need to find ways to manage that tough, complicated relationship,” the official said.

“I would look to Biden to make some practical points, because the likelihood of the Trump administration imposing tariffs is real,” said Russel, now with the Asia Society. “That’s a clear call to the big offenders like China that they need to adjust their policies and practices.”

There are millions of phones, so you can map the ionosphere

Phone data could reduce GPS errors by 10-20% in some areas, and more in underserved regions, said Ningbo Wang, an atmospheric physicist at the aerospace information Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Wang’s analysis showed that the noise in phone measurements has a standard deviation of around 70 TECU, more than 30 times larger than the measurement noise for traditional monitoring stations.

We used the time gaps in survey dates to maximise the data.

Body casts from Pompeii show who the victims were

Researchers found that Pompeii’s population was genetically diverse, which is a reversal from previous theories. The researchers used the remains of Pompeiians being pulled from their bodies and placed into casts to fill the voids left by their decomposing bodies. They had the opportunity to collect some of these fragments during efforts to restore 86 of the 104 plaster casts.
