The Biden administration’s announcement of the planned nomination reminds us that Whitman has served as CEO of eBay, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, and Quibi. Whitman also serves on the boards of Procter & Gamble, and General Motors.
The announcement doesn’t remind readers that Whitman has form as a Republican politician – she ran for governor of California in 2010, then backed the GOP’s Mitt Romney in his 2008 and 2012 bids for the presidency. She later switched political allegiance and backed the presidential campaigns of both Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden.
The Register has found three donations made in her name to the Democratic National Committee, totalling $110,800, and listing her employer as Quibi.

An independent social movement is what Mr. Biden does not have.I mean, he could though. It's not like America is actually short on progressive social movements, as any number of protests for the last few years will show.

President Biden orders transformation of ‘Federal Customer Experience’
United States president Joe Biden has issued an executive order designed to modernise government services, especially online.
[…]
All snark aside, the Executive Order does spell out some interesting new IT projects across the US government, including:
Exchanging data between government agencies when appropriate to deliver an “integrated experience”
A redesign of the USA.gov portal to offer a “Federal Front Door” linked to all government benefits, services, and programs
Integrating the Login.gov secure sign-in service with the Department of Veterans’ Affairs website and app

Creation of a “roadmap for the development of prioritized common services and standards” including common web design standards, login & identity management, notification capabilities, and “digital products” – all in the service of “increased efficiency, integration, and improved service delivery of designated customer life experiences”.
Online passport renewals, arranging customer support call-backs with tax authorities, online health insurance tools, and increased telehealth offerings are also covered by the executive order.

development, as part of the Biden administration’s effort to counter climate change by shifting from fossil fuels.
The U.S. Bureau of Land Management approved the Arica and Victory Pass solar projects in Riverside County east of Los Angeles, which combined would generate up to 465 megawatts of electricity, or enough to power about 132,000 homes. Approval of a third solar farm — planned for 500 megawatts and known as Oberon — is expected in coming days, officials said.
The land agency also on Tuesday issued a call to nominate land for development within “solar energy zones” in Colorado, Nevada and New Mexico that combined cover about 140 square miles (360 square kilometers).
