Vanita Gupta Biography and Interesting Facts Vanita Gupta was the Deputy Assistant Attorney General and acting head of the Civil Rights Division in the Department of Justice as of January 20, 2017. Her first case, while working for the LDF directly after law school, involved 40 African Americans and six white or Latino people who were convicted on drug dealing charges. In almost every case, the only evidence was the testimony of an undercover agent, Tom Coleman. Gupta won the release of her clients four years after going to prison in 2003, then negotiated a $ 6 million settlement for those arrested. In August 2017, director Seth Gordon announced that he would be directing a film titled Tulia. In 2007, after becoming a staff attorney at the American Civil Liberties Union, Gupta filed a lawsuit that was later settled with the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency on terms of detention for asylum seekers.

2021-01-11 Vanita Gupta Nominated as Associate Attorney General: “Our Democracy Cannot Be Taken for Granted” The daughter of Indian immigrants, Gupta would be the first woman of color to serve as associate attorney general, having recently held the title of acting assistant attorney general for the Civil Rights Division. Since leaving the latter role in 2017, she worked as president and CEO of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights.

2021-01-08 Joe Biden praises Vanita Gupta, says she is ‘proud daughter’ of immigrants from India Vanita Gupta is one of the most respected civil rights lawyers in America and a “proud daughter” of immigrants from India who has fought for greater equity, US President-elect Joe Biden has said as he nominated the Indian-American to be his associate attorney general. If confirmed by the Senate, Gupta, 46, would be the first woman of colour to serve in this role.

“As associate attorney general, the number three job at the department, I nominate Vanita Gupta. A woman I’ve known for some time. One of the most respected civil rights lawyers in America,” Biden told reporters in Wilmington, Delaware as he announced some of the key nominations in the Justice Department on Thursday.

While this is not the first time 45-year-old Gupta will be part of the Justice Department, having served as the head of the civil rights division under the Obama administration, the associate attorney general is the third-highest position in the US Department of Justice.

As mentioned by Biden, Gupta has had a long and illustrious career as a litigator, especially cases relating to civil rights.

Lisa Monaco – The Aspen Institute Lisa served as Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism from 2013 to 2017. She was responsible for advising the President on all aspects of counterterrorism policy and strategy and coordinating homeland security-related activities on issues ranging from terrorist attacks at home and abroad to cybersecurity, pandemics, and natural disasters. Lisa also chaired the Cabinet-level Homeland Security Principals’ Committee, which advises the President on homeland security policy issues and crises.

She now co-chairs O’Melveny’s Data Security and Privacy group and a member of the firm’s White Collar Defense and Corporate Investigations Practice Group.

Prior to her service in the White House, Lisa spent fifteen years at the Department of Justice, where she served both as a career federal prosecutor and in senior management positions at the Justice Department and the FBI. She was Counsel to and then Chief of Staff at the FBI. In 2011, Lisa was nominated by the President and confirmed by the United States Senate to serve as Assistant Attorney General for National Security, the first woman to serve in that position. Lisa made investigating and prosecuting national security cyber threats a top priority during her tenure and under her leadership, a nationwide network of national security cyber prosecutors was created.

Lisa began her legal career as a law clerk to the Honorable Jane R. Roth on the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. She later served as Counsel to the Attorney General and then as a Federal prosecutor. She is a graduate of Harvard University and the University of Chicago Law School.

2021-01-15 Biden taps Lisa Monaco as homeland security adviser to inauguration amid rising threats President-elect Joe Biden has asked Lisa Monaco, his deputy attorney general nominee, to temporarily step away from those duties and serve as a homeland security adviser to his inauguration team, a Biden transition official said, a sign that the rising security concerns demand high-level coordination.This is a temporary position, which will continue only until Inauguration Day, when Monaco will go back to preparing for confirmation hearings as the No. 2 official at the Department of Justice.”The President-elect has asked Lisa Monaco to serve as a temporary advisor to the transition on homeland security around the Inauguration, ensuring there is coordination across the incoming team and working with current officials in the days leading up to and on Inauguration Day to help ensure a safe and seamless handoff on homeland security issues,” a Biden transition official said in a statement Thursday evening.

Deputy Secretary of Commerce

Don Graves

****************************

Don Graves – Wikipedia

2021-01-08 Joe Biden names former KeyBank official Don Graves his Deputy Commerce Secretary President-elect Joe Biden on Friday formally introduced former KeyBank official Don Graves as his nominee to serve as a deputy Commerce Department secretary, calling Graves “a longtime trusted adviser” who helped him lead efforts to get Detroit out of bankruptcy during President Barack Obama’s presidential administration.

“He did a great job working with city and state officials on its road to recovery,” Biden said of Graves, who was KeyBank’s Cleveland-based head of corporate responsibility and community relations before he went back to work for Biden.

2020-11-12 Joe Biden’s Transition Aide Helped Steer $3M to Hunter Biden-Linked Firm In December 2013, Hunter Biden, along with his long-time business associate Devon Archer, invested in a Hawaii-focused venture capital fund called mbloom. The investment, which was meant to provide seed capital for technology startups, was the result of a public-private partnership between Biden’s firm, Rosemont Seneca Technology (RST) Partners, and the state of Hawaii.

As part of the agreement, RST would provide five million for the fund, with the Hawaii Strategic Development Corporation (HSDC) matching the same amount. Little-known at the time, however, was that more than half of HSDC’s contribution, nearly $3 million, came from the Treasury Department’s State Small Business Credit Initiative. The program, which expenses more than $1.5 billion to state economic development agencies, fell under the purview of then-Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Don Graves.

Graves’ success in leveraging his relationship with the Biden family sharply contrasts with that of taxpayers in the state of Hawaii. Within months of HSDC inking the mbloom deal with Hunter Biden’s firm, the fund was embroiled in scandal. Most notably, two of the companies that first received capital from mbloom were owned by individuals, Arben Kryeziu and Nick Bicanic, tasked with managing the fund.

The scandal only grew when the company owned by Bicanic went under, without ever reporting a profit, and Kryeziu fell afoul of the Securities and Exchange Commission. HSDC, which initially saw mbloom as an opportunity to diversify Hawaii’s service-centered economy, stepped in to stabilize the fund.

Those efforts proved futile, especially when Archer was indicted for defrauding a Native American tribe in May 2016. The charges against Archer stemmed in part from allegations that he and a business associate conspired to use tribal bonds under their control to drive up the stock price of Code Rebel, a technology company also owned by Kryeziu.

In the aftermath of the indictment, RST Partners agreed to give up its stake in mbloom to an investor lined up by HSDC. It remains unclear if Hunter Biden’s firm recouped its initial five-million-dollar investment. Despite hopes of salvaging mbloom, further investment never materialized. In June 2016, HSDC opted to shutter the fund in an effort to prevent any more tax dollars from going to waste.

2020-11-10 Biden’s tough choice on who will lead Treasury Biden’s Treasury secretary, which he is expected to name in the coming weeks, will be tasked with presiding over a U.S. economy that has not only been ravaged by the pandemic, but is facing new reckonings over racial inequality and climate change. The Treasury chief is also the incoming cabinet’s primary financial policymaker, with influence over bank regulatory changes, reforming the housing finance system, and what legislation affecting banks gets the administration’s support.

2020-10-27 Here’s who is on Biden’s new economic transition team Biden’s economic team appears to be diverse in gender, age, and ideology, but most of them have the common background of having worked with Biden or former President Barack Obama during the last administration.

The first four members of Biden’s new economic transition team confirmed by the Washington Examiner are Jared Bernstein, a longtime Biden economic adviser, Don Graves, who advised Biden for many years, Cecilia Munoz, who was a senior staffer in the Obama White House, and Joelle Gamble, a Democratic organizer who interned at the Treasury Department in 2018.

Other prominent economists known to be advising the Biden campaign include Ben Harris and Heather Boushey. Harris served as chief economist to Biden when he was vice president and is now teaching at Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management. Boushey is president of the Washington Center for Equitable Growth, a liberal nonprofit research organization. She also served as chief economist for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential transition team.

Brenda Mallory (lawyer) – Wikipedia

2020-12-17 Biden To Nominate Brenda Mallory To Run Council On Environmental Quality President-elect Joe Biden plans to nominateenvironmental lawyer and Obama administration veteran Brenda Mallory to run the Council on Environmental Quality, according to a source with knowledge of the decision who spoke on condition of anonymity to protect private conversations.

The White House office oversees environmental reviews for virtually all major infrastructure projects, including pipelines and highways.

Biden has promised to make climate change a top priority, and Mallory’s appointment fleshes out a climate team with expertise in regulation, finance, diplomacy and environmental law. Mallory would work with John Kerry, the National Security Council’s first special presidential envoy on climate; and Gina McCarthy, who would coordinate the domestic climate group within the White House. Biden’s top economic adviser, Brian Deese, also has experience crafting climate policy.

2020-12-16 What You Need to Know About Brenda Mallory and the White House Council on Environmental Quality President-elect Joseph Biden has nominated Brenda Mallory to lead the White House Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ). Mallory’s nomination sends a strong signal that the new administration will take meaningful steps to address the climate and biodiversity crises and combat environmental injustice. Read on to learn more about Mallory’s background and CEQ’s role in shaping environmental policy:

CEQ acts as “mission control” for environmental policy decisions and reviews across the federal government.

  • The agency advises the White House and Congress about how to address important environmental issues ranging from land use to energy policy to endangered species.
  • One of CEQ’s most important tasks is overseeing the implementation of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) — the law that gives the public a voice in environmental decision-making.

Mallory brings a wealth of experience to the job.

  • Mallory is currently the director of regulatory policy at the Southern Environmental Law Center.
  • Under the Obama administration, she served as general counsel at CEQ.
  • Earthjustice senior legislative counsel Stephen Schima says Mallory “holds a deep commitment to protecting everyone, including the most vulnerable,

Special Presidential Envoy for Climate – Biden 2021

John Kerry

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is image.png

Washington (CNN)President-elect Joe Biden has appointed John Kerry as his special presidential envoy for climate, underscoring his commitment to tackling the global crisis and offering a symbolic rebuke to President Donald Trump’s lack of leadership on the issue.Kerry, who was President Barack Obama’s secretary of state, will be a Cabinet-level official in Biden’s administration and will sit on the National Security Council.”This marks the first time that the NSC will include an official dedicated to climate change, reflecting the president-elect’s commitment to addressing climate change as an urgent national security issue,” the Biden transition team said in a statement on Monday.

The elevation of the issue in Kerry’s appointment previews a shift in policy and approach from the current President’s repeated denial of the scientific reality of the crisis and systematic rollback of environmental policies.

John Kerry – Wikipedia

2021-01-21 John Kerry commits US to climate crisis fight but warns world is way off pace The world is lagging behind the pace of change needed to avert catastrophic impacts from the climate crisis, John Kerry has warned in his first remarks as the US’s new climate envoy.

Kerry, the former US secretary of state, acknowledged that America had been absent from the international effort to contain dangerous global heating during Donald Trump’s presidency but added that “today no country and no continent is getting the job done”.Biden raises hopes of addressing climate crisis as Cop26 nearsRead more

There would need to be a “wholesale transformation of the global economy” if the world is to reach net zero carbon dioxide emissions by 2050, Kerry said. He said it was necessary for coal to be phased out five times faster than recent trends, the planet’s tree cover to be increased five times faster, renewable energy to be ramped up six times faster and a transition to electric vehicles to be 22 times faster than present.

2020-12-03 John Kerry reveals Biden’s devotion to radical ‘Great Reset’ movement In June, elites at important international institutions such as the World Economic Forum and the United Nations launched a far-reaching campaign to “reset” the global economy.

The plan involves dramatically increasing the power of government through expansive new social programs like the Green New Deal and using vast regulatory schemes and government programs to coerce corporations into supporting left-wing causes. Every country, from the United States to China, must participate, and every industry, from oil and gas to tech, must be transformed. In short, we need a ‘Great Reset’ of capitalism.”

Internationally, the Great Reset has already been backed by influential leaders, activists, academics and institutions. In addition to the World Economic Forum and United Nations, the Great Reset movement counts among its the International Monetary Fund, heads of state, Greenpeace and CEOs and presidents of large corporations and financial institutions such as Microsoft and MasterCard.

The two justifications for the proposal, which has been aptly named by its supporters the “Great Reset,” are the COVID-19 pandemic (the short-term justification) and the so-called “climate crisis” caused by global warming (the long-term justification).

2020-11-25 Climate czar nominee John Kerry under fire for private jet use Former Secretary of State John Kerry has come under fire for his apparently luxurious lifestyle of yachts and using a private plane, which some have argued is hypocritical for a public official advancing climate reforms.

While it’s unclear exactly how much Kerry benefited from his wife’s company, private jets have been estimated to emit upward of 40 times as much carbon per passenger as commercial flights.

2020-11-24 Biden prioritizes climate crisis by naming John Kerry special envoy President-elect Joe Biden has appointed John Kerry as his special presidential envoy for climate, underscoring his commitment to tackling the global crisis and offering a symbolic rebuke to President Donald Trump’s lack of leadership on the issue.Kerry, who was President Barack Obama’s secretary of state, will be a Cabinet-level official in Biden’s administration and will sit on the National Security Council.”This marks the first time that the NSC will include an official dedicated to climate change, reflecting the president-elect’s commitment to addressing climate change as an urgent national security issue,” the Biden transition team said in a statement on Monday.

One is the sheer power and strategic coherence of the progressive movement, and its influence on the process. The second reflects Joe Biden’s admirable quest for diversity.  The third is that events—the pandemic, the recession—have conspired to press Biden to be a bolder president than he anticipated.

2021-01-19 Madison Cawthorn Must Resign Madison Cawthorn has repeatedly called for action by his supporters in WNC and all over the country to “fight back” and to join him in Washington DC on January 6th to “stop the steal”.  Because of his continuous calls for action, as well as spreading debunked claims about voter fraud, terrorists stormed the Capitol on January 6th in a failed coup.  Federal property was stolen, destroyed, vandalized and sadly, 5 people lost their lives, including one Capitol Police Officer.  

Just days before the attack he gave a speech to an audience during a Turning Points encouraging them to threaten their local politicians and tell them they are coming for them.  Cawthorn has also openly admitted to carrying a loaded weapon during the attack. We have to hold him accountable, this is not what we stand for as citizens of the United States and District 11 of North Carolina deserves much better representation.

2021-01-17 Stop Trump from drilling for oil and gas in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge TODAY! – Change Trump has rolled back regulations on the Endangered Species Act, and is now actively working to sell oil AND gas drilling rights in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge…threatening the lives of our already dwindling populations of polar bears, caribou, wolves, whales and many many other species. These animals have well known migratory paths throughout the ANWR that will be destroyed and disrupted if drilling is allowed to occur there, not to mention how devastating the effects of drilling will be to their living environment. It is also a protected land of the indigenous Gwich’in tribes from the north who rely on these lands and the animals within them to live.

The government claims this is a necessary evil to assure our economy and energy resources in america,however scientists and economic advisors have released papers saying that drilling here does not offer any economic or energy assurities to our country. The ANWR is the largest refuge of it’s kind, we cannot allow it to be destroyed. Please help me fight this and protect our beautiful planet!

2021-01-15 Support the COUP Act Biased policing is a security threat because it leads us to mark innocent people as threats and terrorists as innocent. This is what happened at the Capitol on January 6th, and it resulted in a police-aided coup.

That’s where the Congressional Oversight and Unjust Policing (COUP) Act comes in. The COUP Act is legislation that calls on the creation of a commission to investigate and intercept police misconduct and incompetence on Capitol Hill. Simply firing the heads of the Capitol police won’t be enough. We need a detailed investigation and course of action to redeem trust and restore security, and a commission to investigate the attack and ties between white supremacists and Capitol Police.
