"We celebrate our first African-American, first Asian-American, and first woman Vice President -- Kamala Harris, who stands on the shoulders of so many on this platform who have forged the way to this day" -- Amy Klobuchar
"The assault on our Capitol at this very place just two weeks ago reminds us that a government designed to balance and check itself is both fragile and resilient" -- Roy Blunt
It sounds like this prayer is subtweeting Trump -- but then again that's basically the case for any prayer, since they embody values that are completely antithetical to Trump

Joe Biden is sworn in as President of the United States
"It is now my great privilege and high honor to be the first person to officially introduce the 46th President of the United States, Joseph R Biden Jr"
"At this hour, my friends, democracy has prevailed" -- President Biden
Biden: "I know speaking of unity can sound to some like a foolish fantasy these days. I know the forces that divide us are deep and they are real. I also know they are not new ... unity is the path forward."
"We must reject the culture to which facts themselves are manipulated and manufactured" -- Biden
"Here we stand just days after a mob thought they could use violence to silence the will of the people, to stop the work of our democracy, to drive us from this sacred ground. It did not happen. It will never happen. Not today, not tomorrow, not ever. Not ever." -- Biden
"To all of those who do not support us, let me say this. Hear me out as we move forward. Take a measure of me and my heart. If you still disagree, so be it. That is democracy. That is America. The right to dissent peaceably is perhaps this nation's greatest strength." -- Biden
"Recent weeks and months have taught us a painful lesson. There is truth and there are lies. Lies told for power and profit. Each of us has a duty and a responsibility as citizens, as Americans, especially as leaders ... to defend the truth and defeat the lies." -- Biden
"Here's the thing about life. There's no accounting for what fate will deal you. Some days, when you need a hand -- there are other days when we are called to lend a hand. That's how it has to be" -- Biden
"We will repair our alliances and engage with the world once again" -- Biden
Biden observes a moment of silence for the 400,000 Americans who have died during the pandemic
Biden: "I close where I began, with the sacred oath before God and all of you. I give you my word. I will always level with you. I will defend the Constitution. I will defend our democracy. I will defend America, and I will give all of you everything I do in your service."
Garth Brooks sings "Amazing Grace"
"A country that is bruised but whole" -- here's part of Amanda Gorman's inauguration poem
Rev. Silvester Beaman: "This is our benediction, that from these hallowed grounds, where slaves labored to build this shrine to liberty and democracy, let us all acknowledge ... that this is our country."
