Biden-Harris administration

This Week's Pulse

The Biden-Harris administration is currently the subject of retrospective scrutiny regarding its past interactions with major social media platforms.

On The Diary Of A CEO, host Steven Bartlett cited recent congressional testimony to argue that the previous White House exerted undue influence over private tech firms. "Mark Zuckerberg, uh, testimony, I think, in front of Congress, he said that he was repeatedly pressured, um, for months by the, uh, Biden-Harris administration to remove certain content."

Beyond social media pressure, the organization's legacy is being picked apart in committee hearings. The Environmental Protection Agency is currently moving to revisit PFAS limits established under the prior term, while the House Education and Workforce Committee continues to highlight logistical failures in the administration's rollout of the FAFSA system.

Expect these legislative post-mortems to continue as the Senate Appropriations Committee digs further into backlogs left behind by the former executive branch, turning historical policy decisions into the primary fodder for current oversight.
