Four people have senselessly lost their lives & eight people were wounded this morning in Louisville.

Two weeks ago, six were killed in Nashville.

When will our leaders step up and say enough is enough? When will they put the lives of Americans before the gun lobby?

It’s not just eggs. Since 2020:

The price of bread is up 22%

Flour up 21%

Butter is up 31%

Meanwhile, food giant Cargill saw its profit double to a record $6.7B.

Follow the money, and the story is clear: Food corporations are using inflation as cover to jack up prices.

[Gabrielle Giffords @GabbyGiffords]

I was honored to stand with survivors, advocates, and lawmakers today in Parkland, FL.

Too many lives, including mine, have been forever changed by gun violence. But I will never stop fighting for a safer, better future.

Our manufacturing and infrastructure investments are creating good-paying jobs that don't require a college degree.

And my budget builds on this momentum by investing in research, clean energy, and career training.

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

My full budget will lower costs for Americans, grow our economy, and not raise taxes on anyone making under $400,000.

That’s what I call a win-win-win.

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

Two years ago today, I signed the American Rescue Plan into law.

It helped get our economy back on track, vaccinate over 230 million Americans, and keep police on the job—and we’re stronger because of it.

[The White House 46 Archived @WhiteHouse46]

This week, @POTUS laid out a budget that invests in America, lowers costs for families, protects Medicare and Social Security, and reduces the deficit.

MAGA House Republicans released a proposal that would give tax breaks to the rich, cut Medicare, and ship jobs overseas.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Last year, the total compensation of BP CEO Bernard Looney more than doubled to $12 million.

Why? Because profits soared.

Why did profits soar? Because oil companies price-gouged consumers at the pump.

Executives like Looney are profiting off of your misery, plain and simple.

[The White House 46 Archived @WhiteHouse46]

Two years ago, with a pandemic raging and an economy reeling, President Biden signed the American Rescue Plan.

Today, it’s led to the fastest economic recovery in the world, drove the strongest two years of job growth ever, put money in family’s pockets, and more.

Gary Becker, CEO of the Silicon Valley Bank that failed Friday, sold $3.6 million of his own shares in the bank Thursday.

[Team Katie @TeamKatiePorter]

The collapse of Silicon Valley Bank was totally avoidable.

In 2018, Wall Street pushed a deregulation bill that allowed banks like SVB to take reckless risks. It passed, even as I and many others warned of the risks.

I am writing legislation to reverse that law, S. 2155.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

By the way, Trump deregulated banks like Silicon Valley Bank, which failed Friday.

[Rep. Jamie Raskin @RepRaskin]

America must reject the GOP’s dangerous nihilism about the impossibility of separating truth from lies, a derangement brought on by Donald Trump but now infecting their whole party.
Our system of democratic governance rests on truth and facts—not lies and conspiracy theories.

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

Nearly 25% of the entire national debt – that took 200 years to accumulate – was added by the last Administration.

Meanwhile, we cut the deficit by over $1.7 trillion in two years.

I'm not going to sit and be lectured by MAGA Republicans in Congress about fiscal responsibility.

[Jack Hopkins @thejackhopkins]

I know you know this. I do. But, for just a moment, consider REALLY thinking about this: Had we not have shown up like we did in 2020, Donald Trump would be in the Oval Office…right now, as a DICTATOR. He wouldn’t leave until he died. By then, fair elections would have already been dismantled.

The next time you are feeling hopeless, think about what we prevented. We don’t think about it like that, nearly enough. We have to KEEP showing up like that. Once we fail…it’s probably all over.

[Rep. Eric Swalwell @RepSwalwell]
