President Biden @POTUS

Investing in America is more than just a slogan.

We're getting the job done for the American people – investing in our people, infrastructure, manufacturing, jobs, communities, and ourselves.

For the first time in a long time.




Our bipartisan budget agreement protects our economic progress – including the $470 billion in private investment we’ve spurred in manufacturing and clean energy.

My Investing in America is rebuilding our roads and bridges using Made in America materials, built by American workers.

My Administration is focused on implementing the laws we’ve passed and Investing in America.
 
We’re investing in our people, in infrastructure, in manufacturing, and in jobs.
 
For the first time in a long time, we’re investing in the American people.




Our historic investments in clean energy manufacturing – now protected under the bipartisan budget agreement – are helping us build the best infrastructure in the world.

This could have been the week that a catastrophic default put millions of jobs in jeopardy.
 
Instead, through compromise and consensus, we prevented default and our historic recovery continues.

For decades, America shipped jobs overseas.
 
Other countries surpassed us in sectors like infrastructure, clean energy, semiconductors, and biotechnology.
 
My Investing in America agenda is changing that.

From day one, my Investing in America agenda has been about rebuilding our economy from the middle out and bottom up.
 
That's why our Administration is bringing record-breaking investments to the United States.

A few might even be coming to your neighborhood.

Old Joe fiddles while America is covered in smoke.  What symbolic significance.  The incompetence and weakness of leftists coming home to roost.

Supreme Court backs landmark voting rights law, strikes down Alabama congressional map
The justices threw out Republican-drawn congressional districts that a lower court said discriminated against Black voters.
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/supreme-court/supreme-court-strikes-alabama-congressional-map-voting-rights-dispute-rcna64476

Let's be honest, the only reason that Republicans have a tiny 9 seat majority in the House of Representatives is because of unconstitutional congressional district maps that discriminate against black voters. Texas, Ohio, and Florida drew up these unconstitutional maps in their states specifically for 2022 midterm election which helped Republicans gain a handful of seats.

Republicans now tried to discriminate against black voters (again) in Alabama trying to gain more seats for 2024, and surprisingly the right wing Supreme Court struck the unconstitutional Republican map down. This Supreme Court decision changes everything for 2024 and the radical right is foaming at the mouth over it. Republicans can no longer draw up these unconstitutional district maps based on race to help the Republican party gain House seats they don't deserve.

Today’s surprise Supreme Court ruling has shifted a bunch of House races in the Democrats’ direction. Once these races heat up Democrats are gonna go put in the work and win every House race in the toss up column, and take the House majority.

We’re not accustomed to having competitive House races in states like Alabama or Louisiana. Black voters are all gerrymandered into one district, and the Republicans win all the rest easily. But as of today that changes. There will be some actual toss up races in these states.

Cook Political Report has now shifted four House races in Alabama and Louisiana from “Solid Republican” to “Toss Up” based on how they’re expected to be redrawn. That’s how big this is. Democrats can now flip four previously unwinnable seats in two states alone, if they put in the work.

This will also open up opportunities for the Democrats in other racially gerrymandered states in the south.

This does not mean that EVERY House district is now magically in play.

Most House districts are legitimately never in play, because they're in a liberal or conservative region.

This ruling only puts districts into contention that were *artificially* taken out of contention.

But most southern states have long artificially discriminated against African American regions out of proper House representation. This ruling fixes that and will put those *specific* seats in play.

Not every Republican seat in Alabama and southern states will now be up for grabs. Just a few specific ones.

This is Cook's preliminary attempt at assessing the impact of today's ruling:

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

New @CookPolitical: in the wake of the SCOTUS Alabama decision, we're shifting five House ratings in Democrats' direction. It's very likely two formerly Solid R seats will end up in Solid D.

RFK visited the border to expose one of the many disasters unfolding under Ukraine Joe.  If RFK plans to make a personal appearance in every location that Old Joe and his clown show have brought to ruin in the US, he will wrack up a lot of frequent flyer miles.  The country is in complete ruin.   Nothing like it since the Great Depression.  And it is all self-inflicted by incompetence and lunacy.

 :D :D :D

Nice try, there is no "border disaster". You're embarrassing yourself with your phony anti Biden propaganda. 

President Biden fixed Donald Trump's border disaster.

Hey, your pal Donnie was just criminally indicted by the DOJ on 7 felony counts. Thumb1:

President Biden @POTUS

Today, I'm headed to North Carolina's Fort Liberty where, alongside the First Lady and military-connected families, I'll sign an Executive Order aimed at strengthening economic opportunities for military and veteran spouses, caregivers, and survivors.

My Executive Order for military and veteran spouses, caregivers, and survivors is about fulfilling our sacred obligation to care for our service members and veterans – and the folks who care for them.

For generations, you’ve stepped up to serve our country. We owe you.



We have a sacred obligation to prepare those we send into harm’s way and care for them and their families when they return.

And with my Executive Order that'll support the economic security of military and veteran spouses – we’re taking a step to fulfill that obligation.



Today's Executive Order establishes the most comprehensive set of administrative actions in our nation’s history to support the economic security of military and veteran spouses, caregivers, and survivors.



Our military is the greatest fighting force in the history of the world.

And that’s because of warriors like you – and the service and sacrifice of your spouses, kids, and family members.





Join the First Lady and I as we deliver remarks and announce a new Executive Order to support military-connected spouses.
