Democrats' push to "forgive" student loans won't solve the problem. We need REAL solutions that don't create an added burden on taxpayers.
My

will actually hold universities accountable for student outcomes & force them to answer for sky-rocketing tuition costs.
Covering 147 members of a single party in congress voting to overturn a freely-held election as a political horse race issue is, perhaps, part of the problem here
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.
Biden has the highest favorability among 18- to 29-year-old Americans of any first-term president over the 21 years the
@harvardiop
youth poll has been conducted.
tfw you pass a big, bold Rescue Plan and get 400 million shots in arms, thus returning unemployment to 4.6% two years ahead of schedule and creating 5.6 million jobs in the process, an average of 620,000 per month
Every year service members around the world gather to watch the Super Bowl — and tonight, I called into watch parties in Kabul and on the USS Nimitz to thank them for their service. We are forever in debt to those who sacrifice so much to keep us safe.
Hot off the presses: It's the new American Rescue Plan site!
You can learn how the bill will help families like yours, find out how the checks will be distributed, and tell us how the President's plan will help you.
We added a new COVID progress dashboard to — updated every day to tell you what % of adults have at least a dose and how close we are to 200 million shots.
My body my choice? Your loan my responsibility? This isn’t loan forgiveness, it’s a generation of lazy unaccountable uneducated children being covered by hard working debt paying Americans.
Great news folks: we hit record-high health care enrollment. 31 million people now have coverage through the Affordable Care Act. Couldn’t think of a better person to celebrate this milestone with than President Obama, so I gave him a call.
I would simply not have members of your party propose sunsetting Medicare and social security every five years if you didn’t want to get hit for proposing sunsetting Medicare and social security every five years
"But here’s where the White House digital team comes in: these four posts related to the Olivia Rodrigo saga...are now the top four most engaged vaccine-related posts on Instagram in the past 30 days. "
🚨 NEW: Before the White House's Olivia Rodrigo saga this week, 11 out of the top 15 performing vaccine-related posts on Facebook were negative or anti-vax.
We break down who's behind those posts + measure the impact of the WH's buzzy digital play:
Georgetown CEW: The American Jobs Plan would create
✅8 million jobs for workers with a high school diploma or less
✅4.8 million jobs for those with more than a high school diploma but less than a bachelor’s degree.
Think the person who votes to reduce the deficit by more than $100 billion gets to decide over the guy who voted to raise it by $2 trillion just for tax cuts for the wealthy but thanks for playing
@KateSullivanDC
Treasury Sec. Yellen urges Congress to pass more relief:
“The price of doing nothing is much higher than the price of doing something, and doing something big.”
✅ 6 million jobs created
✅ Wages up
✅World-leading economic recovery
✅Generational investments in infrastructure
✅Moving toward enacting sweeping middle class cost cuts
✅Adele/Chris Stapleton collab
The Biden economic plan is working
An astonishing amount of people are learning about the invasion of Ukraine through digital creators who have begun to cover it. We take that really seriously, and are working to make sure those creators have the ability to have their q's answered.

@Reuters
: "Vaccination rates against COVID-19 in the United States have risen by more than 20 percentage points after multiple institutions adopted vaccine requirements"
NEW: The President will announce that all employers with 100 or more employees will be required to mandate COVID-19 vaccines or require testing at least once a week, and they’ll have to provide paid time off.
The new rule will impact over 80 million workers in private sector.
So have grateful to have served with this team. No President has invested as much in connecting with Americans wherever they are as
@POTUS
has.
I leave this chair knowing that the fight to vanquish malarkey will be in good hands long after I'm gone.
Congrats to
@Rob_Flaherty
on his amazing run at the White House and best of luck on the new gig! Rob transformed WH online engagement. And he upgraded the Office of Digital Strategy and its standing (including better real estate.) Onward!
Those close to Scott suggest he understands the modern Republican Party better than McConnell and his establishment allies. And as tension lingers, Scott is leaving open the possibility of challenging McConnell for Senate GOP, although he’s more likely to seek the presidency.
Just what the American people want...to be driven to a campaign donation page from
@POTUS
Biden’s official
@WhiteHouse
website. I sent a letter to
@US_OSC
to investigate.
“The President’s view is that the major platforms have a responsibility – for the health and safety of all Americans – to stop amplifying untrustworthy content, misinfo and disinfo – especially related to COVID-19 vaccinations and elections.”
On federal land, flanked by US Marines, President Biden ramps up his argument against his political opposition, warning of the perils of Trump-inspired politics.
CNN, 1796: a profoundly political and partisan speech, unbecoming a president who -- in an abdication of norms and an act of cowardice -- is vacating his seat of power
"You don't think it was a bridge too far to make the link with Nuremberg and Nazis?" -- Tom Cotton's smear of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson for defending Gitmo detainees seems to be a bit much even for Fox News
A thing I've been thinking about, related to this piece:
Succession S3 Premiere: 1.4 million viewers (including streaming)
Yellowstone S4 Premiere: 14.7 Million viewers (no streaming)
75% of swing voters in AZ, FL, GA, MI, NV, PA & WI support the covid relief package
➡️ 61% of Clinton to Trump voters
➡️ 84% of Trump to Biden voters
➡️ 69% of Trump voters who voted for a Democrat down ballot
➡️ 83% of Biden voters who voted for Republicans down ballot.
Politico Playbook: By a 2-to-1 margin, registered voters backed a hypothetical $3 trillion infrastructure package financed by tax increases on those making over $400,000 as well as raising the corporate tax rate.
This week, I spoke with Victoria and Daria, two Pell Grant recipients who are eligible for up to $20,000 in student loans forgiven because of my Administration's plan.
This relief means breathing room for Americans to build a better future for themselves and their families.
And that’s all, folks. Honored to have served with this amazing team for this amazing President. See you all on the other side at

Keep the faith — and spread it!
Last week, President Biden rolled out a federal plan to support efforts to tackle Omicron at every level of government.
Here’s the full clip of his comments yesterday, where he reaffirmed the need for a strong partnership between Federal and State governments.
Watching the guy whose company committed the largest Medicare fraud in the history of America lie on Twitter about the savings Medicare will generate from negotiating drug prices is sort of funny.
It’s like watching Thanos shoplift from Claire’s.
More lies. This is the guy that just applauded Dems cutting $280 BILLION from Medicare while on vacation at the beach.
@JoeBiden
spent decades trying to CUT Medicare & Social Security. My plan is focused on preserving them.
Each of the last three ODS hires have been from New Jersey. What they're not telling you is that we're actually forming a Bruce Springsteen cover band...
Sen. Rick Scott has amended his 12-point Rescue America plan to make clear that his proposal to sunset all federal legislation in 5 years doesn’t apply to Social Security, Medicare or the Navy.
President Biden: "
#ValentinesDay
is a big. Jill's favorite day. For real."
Q: "What inspired you to do this?"
