Good morning and welcome to the inauguration of Joe Biden. Today’s ceremony, which will look starkly different from previous inaugurations in light of the pandemic, kicks off at 12 p.m. ET. Unprecedented security measures are in place following the murderous attack on the Capitol exactly two weeks ago, with 25,000 National Guard troops—roughly five times the number of service members currently stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan—patrolling the area. Donald Trump is, of course, snubbing the festivities.
