Quoted @NBCNews
JUST IN: Janet Yellen sworn in as secretary of Treasury by VP Harris, becoming the first woman to hold the position.
Today I swore in @JanetYellen as @USTreasury Secretary. Secretary Yellen is a trailblazer, whose deep commitment to working families will be essential as we confront the urgent economic challenges facing the American people.
America has never lived up to its founding promise of equality for all, but we’ve never stopped trying. Today, I’ll take action to advance racial equity and push us closer to that more perfect union we’ve always strived to be.
Today I swore in @LloydAustin as the Secretary of @DeptofDefense. Secretary Austin’s integrity, experience, and intimate knowledge of the issues facing our military make him the right leader for this moment.
We need to ensure our future is made in America – by America’s workers. That’s why @POTUS will sign an Executive Order today to support our manufacturers, businesses, and workers. It’s about creating well-paid, union jobs, and building our economy back better.

Today, I repealed the discriminatory ban on transgender people serving in the military. It’s simple: America is safer when everyone qualified to serve can do so openly and with pride.
The beginning of our new journey.
Replying to @WhiteHouse: Please wear a mask.
This weekend, don’t forget:
- Wear a mask
- Stay socially distanced
- Avoid large indoor gatherings
Together, we can save lives.
Replying to @POTUS: We will get through this, together.
This week, @POTUS and I quickly got to work to mount an aggressive and coordinated response to combat COVID-19 and get it under control—including establishing the COVID-19 Health Equity Task Force to ensure our response and vaccine distribution reaches everyone.
Today I met with an inspiring group of small business owners. We know that they have been hit hard in this pandemic. That’s why @POTUS and I are taking immediate action to help small businesses – because they power our economy, and they need relief.
On the 48th Anniversary of Roe v. Wade, we recommit ourselves to ensuring that everyone has access to care—including reproductive health care—no matter their income, race, zip code, health insurance status, or immigration status.
Today, I spoke by phone with @WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. We discussed how the United States will work as a constructive partner to strengthen and reform the WHO—which will be a vital step to controlling COVID-19.
Replying to @SecondGentleman: Honored and ready to get to work. It was a great first day.
Honored and ready to get to work. It was a great first day.
Earlier today, I swore in our first Cabinet member, Avril Haines, after her confirmation by the Senate last night. As the Director of National Intelligence, Director Haines will be dedicated to keeping the American people safe.
We’ve hit the ground running. Don’t forget to follow @POTUS, @FLOTUS, @SecondGentleman, and @WhiteHouse for the latest updates from our administration.
We must believe in ourselves, believe in our country, and believe in what we can do—together.
I stand on the shoulders of those who came before.
