Access to affordable, high-speed internet is key to opportunity in the 21st century.

Under President Biden’s economic plan, 17 million more households are now connected – and are saving $30-75 per month.

Trump continues to surge in the recent polls.  Taking a commanding lead for the Republican nomination despite the relentless, nonstop effort of the mass media, social media, corrupt political establishment (including many Republicans), and justice system to do anything and everything necessary to stop him.  No person in history could overcome these powerful forces.  Meanwhile, with the fake support of all these corrupt institutions, Old Joe continues to fall to historic lows.  Trump is still at a tremendous disadvantage in the general election having to overcome all these radicalized forces, but the fact that he can even still be competitive in an election is amazing.

President Biden @POTUS

Medicare can now negotiate for lower drug prices.
 
My Administration finally beat Big Pharma, and got it done without a single Republican vote.

President Biden @POTUS

Nearly 800,000 manufacturing jobs have been created on my watch.
 
That's the fastest growth in 40 years.

No other President in history has had this economic success in just over 2 years!


President Biden @POTUS

We're not just building a record-breaking economy that brings back manufacturing, creates good-paying jobs, and leaves no one behind.
 
We're building an America that we can all take pride in.

The leftist mayors of so-called "sanctuary cities" are squealing like Ned Beatty because a tiny fraction of the flood of illegals are being sent to their cities.  Just wait for the next surge.

Since taking office, the Biden-Harris Administration has put support for small businesses at the center of its agenda to grow the economy from the bottom up and middle out. The results speaks for itself. We have a small business boom under the Biden-Harris Administration.

Conservative activist arranged for Clarence Thomas' wife to get secret payouts



Clarence Thomas' wife, "Ginni" Thomas, reportedly received tens of thousands of dollars for consulting work, and her name was intentionally left off of the paperwork.

Ginni Thomas received the funds from conservative activist Leonard Leo—who has also helped former President Donald Trump select judicial nominees—according to the Washington Post's investigation. The news comes at a time when Clarence Thomas himself is under fire for reportedly receiving undisclosed gifts.

Leo made the arrangements through former Trump Administration official Kellyanne Conway, according to the Washington Post's report.

"In January 2012, Leo instructed the GOP pollster Kellyanne Conway to bill a nonprofit group he advises and use that money to pay Virginia 'Ginni' Thomas, the documents show," according to the report. "The same year, the nonprofit, the Judicial Education Project, filed a brief to the Supreme Court in a landmark voting rights case."

The investigation further uncovered the circumstances surrounding how the payments were made secret.

"Leo, a key figure in a network of nonprofits that has worked to support the nominations of conservative judges, told Conway that he wanted her to 'give' Ginni Thomas 'another $25K,' the documents show. He emphasized that the paperwork should have 'No mention of Ginni, of course,'" according to the Washington Post.

The Polling Company, Conway's firm, reportedly sent the Judicial Education Project a $25,000 bill, and listed the reason only as "Supplement for Constitution Polling and Opinion Consulting."

"In all, according to the documents, the Polling Company paid Thomas’s firm, Liberty Consulting, $80,000 between June 2011 and June 2012, and it expected to pay $20,000 more before the end of 2012," according to the Washington Post's investigation. "The documents reviewed by The Post do not indicate the precise nature of any work Thomas did for the Judicial Education Project or the Polling Company.

In a statement, Leo reportedly told The Post that, “Knowing how disrespectful, malicious and gossipy people can be, I have always tried to protect the privacy of Justice Thomas and Ginni.”
