Incoming US first lady Melania Trump unveiled her own new cryptocurrency as her husband Donald Trump prepares to be sworn-in for his second term in the White House on the Monday.

Ahead of today’s inauguration, the president-elect gave a campaign-style speech at a “Make America Great Again Victory Rally” at Washington DC’s Capital One Arena, alongside other MAGA world luminaries, including Elon Musk, the Trump family and Megyn Kelly.

Trump again indicated that he plans to pardon many of those convicted for their actions during the attempted insurrection at the US Capitol on January 6 2021 once he takes office.

Freezing cold weather is gripping much of the northeastern US so Monday’s event has had to be moved inside the Capitol’s rotunda.

The last time that happened was at Ronald Reagan’s second inauguration in 1985.

On day one, the president-elect has indicated plans to sign more than 200 executive orders – a record – covering everything from border security and energy, to ending diversity hiring programs.

But Trump will begin his term with only one-quarter of the staff he needs – a notable failure of the Project 2025 plan to fill all roles by day one.

Good morning!

Well, here we go.

President-elect Donald Trump will become the first American president since Grover Cleveland to enter the White House for a non-consecutive second term when he is sworn-in as the 47th commander-in-chief at the US Capitol’s rotunda in Washington DC on Monday afternoon, the ceremony belatedly forced indoors by sub-zero temperatures for the first time since Ronald Reagan’s second inauguration on January 20 1985.

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of this historic day.

Full report: Melania Trump launches her own cryptocurrency on eve of husband Donald’s inauguration

Hours before the second inauguration of president-elect Donald Trump, incoming first lady Melania Trump has launched her own cryptocurrency.

“The Official Melania Meme is live! You can buy $MELANIA now,” Ms Trump posted on X in the early hours of Monday.

The launch of $Melania comes just days after Mr Trump launched his own meme coin, and appeared to briefly tank the value of $Trump before it then rebounded.

Both the $Trump and $Melania coins have risen in value since launch but are also seeing volatile trade, and their respective websites note that the cryptocurrencies are “not intended to be, or the subject of” an investment opportunity or a security.

What’s next for Joe and Jill Biden?

President Joe Biden and First Lady Dr. Jill Biden are leaving the White House on January 20, marking the end of the president’s 50 years in politics.

But Biden, 82, insists he’s not quite ready to retreat into a slow retirement just yet. In interviews, the president has indicated he’s still got work to do to improve Americans’ lives. Jill Biden, 73, has similarly dedicated her life to others through education, but she has kept quiet about her next chapter after the White House.

What is certain is that Bidens will almost certainly return to their homes in Wilmington and Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, where they spend time with family.

Here is what else could be in store for Joe and Jill Biden.

What’s next for Joe and Jill Biden?

Outside of politics, the Bidens have embarked on academic endeavors – something they may continue after leaving the president leaves the White House for a final time on January 20
