The first will require Covid masks and physical distancing in all federal buildings, on all federal lands and by federal employees and contractors. Many of Biden's orders will reverse those issued by Trump, including the so-called Muslim travel ban and the construction of a southern border wall. (CNBC) | | | | Shortly after Biden's inauguration, Democrats Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff will be sworn in as U.S. senators from Georgia, giving their party control of the upper chamber of Congress in a 50-50 split with soon-to-be Vice President Kamala Harris as the tie-breaking vote. (AP) | | | | One day before stepping aside as Senate majority leader, Republican Mitch McConnell on Tuesday explicitly blamed Trump for the Capitol attack, saying the mob was "fed lies" and the outgoing president and others "provoked" those intent on overturning Biden's election. Trump's impeachment trial in the Senate for inciting insurrection will unfold after he leaves office. (AP) | | | | Eschewing tradition, Trump won't be attending Biden's inauguration.

The company's shares were up 1.5% in premarket trading. | | | | Interactive Brokers (IBKR): Interactive Brokers beat estimates on the top and bottom lines for the fourth quarter of 2020, thanks to an increase in customer accounts and higher trading volumes for the electronic brokerage firm. | | | | Zions Bancorp (ZION): Zions reported better-than-expected earnings and revenue for the fourth quarter, with the regional bank also reinstating its outlook after suspending forward guidance last March.
