Psaki参与特朗普的安全简报
周五晚上,拜登在接受“哥伦比亚广播公司晚间新闻”主播诺拉·安东内尔的预先录制的采访时发表讲话后,白宫新闻秘书珍·普萨基(Jen Psaki)向美国广播公司新闻(ABC News)提供了一份声明,他在声明中表示,他认为前总统唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)不应接受任何进一步的情报简报,因为他“行为古怪”。
“总统对前总统特朗普获得敏感情报表示担忧,但他也非常信任自己的情报团队,如果前总统特朗普在任何时候要求简报,他会决定如何提供情报信息,”普萨基说。

拜登在11月受伤后接受足部扫描
拜登周六在特拉华州纽瓦克市接受另一次足部扫描,此前他于11月28日受伤,当时他在与他的狗梅杰玩耍时,中足出现了细小的骨裂。
总统的内科医生凯文·奥康纳博士在一份声明中说:
“总统将在特拉华骨科专家那里接受定期安排的10周伤后负重x光检查,他在那里接受了初步评估。总统的症状如预期有所改善,他正在坚持严格的物理治疗方案。正如我们最初解释的那样,脚扭伤有时可能比随之而来的骨折更严重。这种x光检查是为了确保他已经达到良好的韧带稳定性。

拜登与大流行中失业的女性展开“每周谈话”
白宫发布了新视频拜登与一位因冠状病毒大流行而失业的母亲通电话,告诉她他的新冠肺炎救助计划可以立即帮助美国人。
去年,米歇尔因大流行而失业。我最近给她打了个电话,听听她的故事,并讨论我的美国救援计划将如何帮助像她这样的家庭。pic.twitter.com/SAqM2GytPf
——拜登总统(@POTUS)2021年2月6日
据白宫称,米歇尔来自加利福尼亚州的罗斯维尔,她在一家初创服装公司失去了工作。在视频中,她说她在7月份第一次被解雇,一直找不到工作。她决定给拜登写封信。
总统坐在椭圆形办公室的坚决桌前,向米歇尔讲述了他熟悉的台词,讲述了他父亲的座右铭,即一份工作“不仅仅是一份薪水”。
“我们认为我们可以在不应对这种流行病的情况下保持企业开放、发展和繁荣,但这种想法是不可能的。我们正在制定一项计划,为急需帮助的人提供紧急救助,包括从抵押贷款支付、失业保险、租赁补贴到儿童食品安全的一切。它为一些中小型企业的开业提供了条件,”拜登告诉她。
拜登还重申,他相信他的政府将在100天内实现他的1亿次注射计划,这使得米歇尔说她“终于”给父母预约了,他们在打电话的同一天接种了疫苗。

拜登告诉米歇尔的女儿,他在看了她母亲的信后打电话给她,因为他钦佩“她的决心”和“承诺”。
白宫表示,这项名为“每周谈话”的新努力将使拜登能够定期与美国人直接沟通。周五,新闻秘书珍·普萨基(Jen Psaki)调侃了这段视频,称拜登将延续这一传统,类似于前总统富兰克林·罗斯福(Franklin D .罗斯福)的“炉边谈话”(Fireside Chats)或里根的每周广播讲话,拜登的努力将采取“多种形式”。

Psaki weighs in on Trump's security briefings
White House press secretary Jen Psaki has provided ABC News with a statement following Biden’s remarks Friday night in a pre-recorded interview with "CBS Evening News" Anchor Norah O’Donnell, in which he said he thinks former President Donald Trump should not receive any further intelligence briefings because of his “erratic behavior.”
“The President was expressing his concern about former President Trump receiving access to sensitive intelligence, but he also has deep trust in his own intelligence team to make a determination about how to provide intelligence information if at any point former President Trump requests a briefing,” Psaki said.

Biden gets foot scan following November injury
Biden is receiving another foot scan Saturday in Newark, Delaware, following his injury on Nov. 28, when he sustained small hairline fractures in his mid-foot while playing with his dog Major.
Dr. Kevin O’Connor, physician to the president, said in a statement:
"The President will receive a regularly scheduled 10 week post-injury weight-bearing X-ray at the Delaware Orthopaedic Specialists, where he was evaluated initially. The President’s symptoms have improved as expected, and he is adhering to a strict physical therapy regimen. As we explained initially, sprains of the foot can sometimes be a more significant injury than the bony fractures which accompany them. This x-ray is to check to assure that he has achieved good ligamentous stability."

Biden launches 'A Weekly Conversation' with woman who lost job amid pandemic
The White House has released a new video of Biden speaking on the phone with an unemployed mother who lost her job because of the coronavirus pandemic and telling her what his COVID-19 relief proposal could do to immediately help Americans.
Last year, Michele lost her job because of the pandemic. I recently gave her a call to hear her story and discuss how my American Rescue Plan will help families like hers. pic.twitter.com/SAqM2GytPf
— President Biden (@POTUS) February 6, 2021
Michele is from Roseville, California, and lost her job at a startup clothing company, according to the White House. In the video, she says she was laid off for the first time ever in July and hasn’t been able to find work. She decided to write a letter to Biden.
The president, sitting at the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office, offers Michele his familiar line, recounting his father's motto that a job is “a lot more than just a paycheck.”
“The idea that we think we can keep businesses open and moving and thriving without dealing with this pandemic, it's just a non-starter. We're putting together a plan that provides for emergency relief to people in desperate need now, everything from mortgage payments, to unemployment insurance, to rental subsidies, to food security for children. It provides for some small and medium-sized businesses to be able to open,” Biden tells her.
Biden also repeats that he believes his administration will deliver on his 100 million shots in 100 days plan, which leads Michele to say she “finally” got her parents an appointment and they were getting their vaccines the same day the call took place.

Biden tells Michele’s daughter that he called after reading her mother's letter because he admired “her determination" and "commitment.”
The White House says this new effort, labeled “A Weekly Conversation,” will allow Biden to regularly communicate directly with Americans. On Friday, press secretary Jen Psaki teased the video, saying Biden will continue the tradition, similar to former President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s “Fireside Chats” or Reagan’s weekly radio address, and that Biden’s effort will take on “a variety of forms.”
