The Senate has unanimously passed legislation establishing Juneteenth as a national holiday.

(Then, Senator Kamala Harris's Resolution)

Bravo VP 💙

I knew I wouldn't see Blackburn there. I see a total of 18 Senators of 24 invited. So that's 16 Democrats and two Republicans? Right? About as bipartisan as we can get.

I didn't mind Blackburn being "hidden" at first! I'm surprised she showed up, but apparently on a personal level several Democrats like her.

I am so happy that we have Madam VP Harris.

Representation matters. Diversity matters.

I'd like to see more women in leadership roles.

and said it was lovely. Blackburn said the Senators have these get togethers every year except last year because of covid-19. Blackburn said Harris was the most liberal Senator and she herself the most conservative but they've always gotten along.

(at least as well as I can see it on my smartphone screen) isn't quite clear enough to be sure).

..."The Bidens chose a Lenox china pattern in “Biden blue” that sits in a china cabinet at their residence along with china from other vice presidential families.

The Bidens will be leaving a number of things behind, including 75 place settings of blue, white and gold Lenox china featuring the vice-presidential seal and a lattice pattern. Carlos Elizondo, the Bidens’ social secretary and residence manager, helped them come up with the perfect antique English cabinet to hold it. Outdoors, there’s a tall tree where Joe Biden surprised his wife with a message one year: a plaque that says “Joe Loves Jill, Valentine’s Day 2010.”

They are also proud of the Family Heritage Garden of the Vice President they created in 2012, just off the front lawn. The idea came to Jill Biden when she saw the White House Children’s Garden, which commemorates presidential children and grandchildren. “I thought, What a good idea to preserve a historic sense for our residence,” she says. She and Elizondo came up with a design for a garden with a fountain in the middle. They contacted each family, compiled the list of names and even included pets."...(more)
