From across the aisle, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s words in praise of President Biden are echoing across America: "He is very professional. Very smart. Very strong beliefs."
Americans fully understand President Joe Biden is the leader they can trust.

'Morally right thing': Former Alabama governors urge their state to stop executing people https://www.rawstory.com/alabama-innocents-on-penalty/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon
Here’s a short video of a bee flying around the inside of one of the flowers on my trumpet tree.
My trumpet tree is in bloom! It’s still short, but it’s been a year since I cut a piece, rooted it, and planted it in the new back yard.

DEMOCRATS:
*The Roosevelt administration started Social Security and the GI Bill.
*The Truman Administration passed "The Housing Act of 1949" (FHA) providing guaranteed affordable housing for all Americans.
*The Kennedy administration started food stamps.
*The Johnson administration started Medicare and Medicaid, The Voting Rights Act and Stafford Loans.
*The Clinton administration started the children's Chip Program.
*The Obama administration started the most comprehensive healthcare plan since FDR, the ACA.
*The Biden Administration has passed the "Build Back Better Act" providing the biggest expansion of affordable health care in a decade—including greater access to world-class care for veterans and $400 billion to Head Start, childcare assistance and Pre-K for all children.
JUST TO NAME A FEW....
My guess is many Republicans have benefitted from these programs.

We have great neighbors. She just texted and asked if she made ribs and potato salad, could they bring it over here so we could all eat by the pool. Ummm…yes, please!

By focusing on Confederate contributions, The United Daughters of the Confederacy obscured and downplayed the role of Black-Americans in establishing Decoration Day, which later evolved into Memorial Day. This intentional distortion of history reinforced the Confederate Lost Cause narrative and marginalized Black-Americans’ contributions to American history and remembrance.

My partner and I desperately need #MentalHealth #therapy both individually and as a couple. This is yet another delightful #feature of #poverty; we're too #poor to get the help we need to function like normal adults, and we're not stable or #functional enough to maintain the kind of #income necessary to pay for thorough, effective #psychotherapy.

Reporter: What do you say to members of your own party who say you made too many concessions in this deal.
Biden: They'll find I didn't.

@leemeade @rose @Radical_EgoCom Trying to reform policing is like trying to reform slavery. You can’t reform an inherently unjust endeavor. You abolish it. Reform is resisted because the system isn’t broken- it’s working exactly as designed.

It's actually not that bad. White House stood firm on student loan debt relief and clean energy tax credits.

My advice to Target and every other company ahead of Pride Month: it is bad business to give into bigots.
