After an extraordinarily busy first 100 days, Joe Biden is not expected to let up in his his first address as president to a Joint Session of Congress on Wednesday.
He’s expected to present his American Families Plan, a $1 trillion proposal that aims to provide free preschool for all 3- and 4-year-old children, bolster health care, education and other core aspects of the average American household. Along with his American Jobs Plan, it represents a $4 trillion infrastructure proposal from Biden.
The president plans to pay with it through a corporate tax hike and via increased taxes on the wealthiest 1% of Americans, including a near doubling of the capital gains rate on incomes above $1 million.
Below is a rundown of how to watch Biden’s United States Capitol address on TV and online.
Deadline will have the livestream right here — see below — starting at 9 p.m. Et/6 p.m. Pt.

President Donald Trump teased a press conference featuring Rudy Giuliani, his personal attorney now leading his challenge of the election results, and for sheer theatrics, it did not disappoint.
“Well, that easily was the most outlandish press conference ever held by a team of lawyers representing the President of the United States,” wrote National Review editor Rich Lowry.
Fox News carried the marathon presser live and in its entirety, along with Trump-supporting networks One America News Network and Newsmax. CNN and MSNBC skipped it.
Giuliani made claim after claim of electoral fraud, then attacked the media for not treating it seriously or investigating allegations. But a number of reporters have and, in addition to debunking claims of systemic electoral fraud, certainly of the magnitude that could change the results, Trump’s legal team has suffered defeat after defeat in court, and earlier on Thursday dropped its effort to prevent the...

President Donald Trump has often been accused of not being all that interested in reading. But today’s tweetstorm puts the lie to that notion, as there are two book reviews of new titles.
Rich Lowry’s The Case For Nationalism and Donald Trump Jr.’s Triggered were both reviewed by the Commander-in-Tweet. Lowry has “a very important book,” while Don Jr.’s work “is really good.” For his son, the President added, “He, along with many of us, was very unfairly treated. But we all fight back, and we always win!”
The President spent the rest of his morning retweeting a few TV excerpts that support him, including a long string from Fox’s Stuart Varney.
We’ll update as more communications roll in. The tweetstorm so far:

President Donald Trump continued his retweet rampage of the weekend today, but found time to warn that the witch hunt has now shifted to finding the witches on the other side of the aisle.
The Commander-in-Tweet was pointed in his remarks, noting that he had an Attorney General willing to go after the truth behind the Mueller investigation’s origins. He also took a few digs at China, which is under pressure to conclude a new trade agreement and get its import tariffs lifted.
The tweetstorm so far:

National Harbor, Maryland — “America is founded on a simple idea, and that idea… [dramatic pause] is freedom.” So declared Vice President Mike Pence in a booming staccato during his Friday morning Cpac address. “Freedom works,” Pence assured the room of conservative conference-goers. “We have the courage to stand for freedom.”
Pence played the hits: low unemployment, strong economy, tax cuts and an extended riff about infanticide. A customary “build-the-wall” chant broke out, but fizzled nearly as soon as it began. That’s Cpac’s dirty little secret: The wall is not the fetish object it once was.

The National Review pulled down an article on Sunday attacking the students at Covington Catholic High School, which said their behavior toward Native American elder Nathan Phillips was comparable to spitting on the cross.
“They mock a serious, frail-looking older man and gloat in their momentary role as Roman soldiers to his Christ. “‘Bullying’ is a worn-out word and doesn’t convey the full extent of the evil on display here,” National Review Deputy Managing Editor Nicholas Frankovich said in the original piece. “As for the putatively Catholic students from Covington, they might as well have just spit on the cross and got it over with.”

National Review reporter John Fund apologized on Monday for accusing Brett Kavanaugh’s second accuser, Deborah Ramirez, of being secretly funded by Democratic donor George Soros, telling his audience on Twitter that he has mistaken her for a different Deborah Ramirez.
“Correction: Soros Fellowship went to another Deborah Ramirez in Boston, a professor at Northeastern University. Sincere apologies,” said Fund, who deleted the original tweet after coming in for a round of criticism over the error.

Celebrities have a responsibility as public figures not to make society worse or sicker, something that Samantha Bee and Roseanne Barr don’t understand.
That was the sentiment expressed today on Meet The Press by Wall Street Journal columnist and former special assistant to President Ronald Reagan Peggy Noonan.
“Part of the problem is public figures having a hard time being public figures,” said Noonan. “When you are lucky enough in America to be a public figure, your celebrity is not only your pleasure, it is your responsibility. What is that responsibility? Don’t make it worse. Don’t make it ugly or don’t make it sicker. Samantha Bee doesn’t seem to understand that responsibility. Roseanne didn’t understand it. I am very glad to see a certain amount of backlash against them, almost as if the American people are saying, ‘Stop it already. This is terrible. You’re making it worse.

“The Man From Hope,” the 17-minute film that presented Bill Clinton to the Democratic National Convention, was big news in 1992. Produced by Linda Bloodworth-Thomason and Harry Thomason, the couple behind the hit TV series “Designing Women,” the short became the subject of innumerable long articles in major publications.

Donald Trump is not happy with the National Review, and made his thoughts about the conservative magazine very clear in a scathing Twitter rant on Thursday. “National Review is a failing publication that has lost it’s way. It’s circulation is way down w its influence being at an all time low. Sad!” the presidential candidate wrote. “Very few people read the National Review because it only knows how to criticize, but not how to lead,” Trump continued.

The one-minute trailer for Jose Antonio Vargas’s White People — set to air on MTV Wednesday at 8 p.m. — has already drawn ire from the right. “No one has seen this film yet,” said National Review editor Rich Lowry. “But I think we can agree that it will be as stupid and exploitative as you expect from a network that brought us Jersey Shore and Teen Mom 2.” Having watched the film, though, the 40-minute documentary arguably has a much softer touch. “We talk about race a lot in this country. But we don’t include you in the conversation,” Vargas says at the beginning of the film to a group of young white people. “I’m interested in how you feel.”I first met Vargas at a screening for Documented, a documentary about his life as an undocumented immigrant, which he made after he wrote his New York Times...

Things look bleak for 2012, but Republicans have talent in the pipeline. Andrew Romano on why the party should save themselves for 2016.
Mitt Romney is damaged goods. Tim Pawlenty is a snooze. Newt Gingrich is a mess. And Rick Santorum, Herman Cain, and Ron Paul are unelectable. It's no surprise that Republicans are responding to their 2012 choices with "a range of emotions running from disappointment to panic," as National Review editor Rich Lowry quipped in a recent column.

The National Review has a favor to ask of Jeb Bush—specifically, would he mind running for president in 2012? “Jeb is different from his patrician dad and different from his thoroughly Texan brother,” Rich Lowry writes. “As soon as people see him on the national stage, they’ll realize he’s his own person and has to be taken on his own terms.” The former Floridian governor, though, currently has no interest in proving “he’s his own person” on a national stage. Over the summer, he appeared on a Louisville, Kentucky, radio show (?) to dispel rumors of his presidential plotting. “I am not running for president,” he said, in a statement that seemed fairly straightforward.

Michael Hastings, journalist.On the occasion of what may prove to be the most significant story of the year, in terms of the revelations it brings forth and the aftereffects of those revelations, National Review editor Rich Lowry began his commentary with the following “point,” as he describes it: 1) Rolling Stone? Rolling Stone??? Yes, Rich; the most impact-laden story of the year, the one in which General Stanley McChrystal, the commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan, and his aides talked trash about President Barack Obama and members of his administration, appeared in Rolling Stone, not National Review. And it was written by a perfect specimen of the new breed of journalist-commentator that will hopefully come to replace the old breed sooner rather than later, and which has already collectively surpassed the old guard by every measure that counts—for instance, not being forever wrong about matters of life and death.
