I flew to space four times over the course of a decade and I’ve seen the effects of climate change on our planet first hand.
There is no planet B. This remarkable and fragile place is our only home and it’s our job to protect it for generations to come. #EarthDay

"The debt limit battlefield isn’t a good one for Republicans."
Biden will today show 'the impacts of Speaker McCarthy and extreme MAGA House Republicans’ threatened 22% spending cuts'"
"In other words, the debt limit battle has officially been joined."

With new Inflation Reduction Act funding, the IRS was able to provide 87% of customer calls this tax season with live support, up from 15% last year. The average time on hold decreased from 27 minutes to just four.

The last Administration talked a lot about bringing jobs back to America. President Biden is getting it done. And it is just the beginning.

US president Joe Biden's sweeping subsidies seem to be working, with investment committed in chips and clean tech almost doubling since 2021 and nearly twenty times that of 2019, according to the FT's analysis. on.ft.com/3KFIrSc

Three kids and three officials gunned down in yet another mass shooting.
And what are GOP officials focused on?
Punishing lawmakers who joined thousands of peaceful protesters calling for action.
It's shocking, undemocratic, and without precedent.

This nation was built on peaceful protest. No elected official should lose their job simply for raising their voice – especially when they’re doing it on behalf of our children.

Have never, ever seen this before. In an ultra-high turnout Wisconsin election with no inbuilt cause for asymmetric turnout (like a presidential primary), Democrats are on track to win by a shade under 11 points.
This is a Biden +0.6 state.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court victory for Janet Protasiewicz, supported by Democrats, is huge. And by an impressive margin. Gerrymandered legislative maps that let GOP win even when it lost are likely gone. And a key swing state now looks a lot more Democratic than it did in 2016.
