On January 20, 2021, President Joe Biden was sworn in as the 46th President of the United States. While this was a historic moment in many fields, in this article we’ll be talking about one of the subtler aspects of the event: the fashion. There were a lot of big names – both as politicians and celebrities – that were there, and each had their own sense of style.

Athena: child of Zeus, the Greek goddess of war and wisdom. She is also associated with crafts, especially weaving. She was a natural leader and everyone feared her. Heroes often went to her for help on quests. She was full of vengeance and made enemies with Poseidon, god of the sea. Athena was born from the skull of her father. Hephaestus, god of fire, had to split Zeus’s skull open with an axe just to bring Athena out.

As you all may have seen recently. the internet is kinda going a bit off the walls (get it, wall street) recently when it comes to the stock market recently. From what you may have heard, the price of the GameStop stock has increased by an insane amount in terms of cost. It just simply seems that the stock had just increased for no apparent reason at all. So, to help all of the confusion that is surrounding this topic, I will be mashing all of this stock-market-drama into an easy-to-understand one-page summary. With that out of the way, let’s get into some economics!

Before a bill becomes a law, there is an extensive series of steps it has to go through before it makes its way to the President’s desk. If you want to see the most recent bills that have been introduced, look below, as this will detail their full process. First, bills are drafted by a member of the House of Representatives or the Senate. They basically explain what the bill is going to be about in a short sentence, and a number is added to the end to differentiate it from the rest of them. Online, the website shows what stage a document is in, the date it was introduced, as well as the sponsor. Depending on how far the bill has progressed, the website may show cosponsors of a bill, too. These are individuals who pledge their support for a piece of legislation. It’s best to get as many of these as possible because if there are a greater number of people supporting it, it’s more likely to pass.

On January 6th, only two weeks before the inauguration of President Joe Biden, a violent mob broke into the US capitol. Fueled by lies that the election had been stolen, they stormed the capitol to stop the confirmation of President Biden’s victory. Many had come from a “Save America Rally” that was hosted by Donald Trump. At the rally, he declared that the election had been stolen and told them to go march to the capitol. What concluded was a horrifying sight.
