Celebrating the 100th Birthday of President Jimmy Carter with our Upper Sixth A Level pupils today. There was cake, reading material, and a re-evaluation of Carter’s legacy. We also sent a birthday message to JC and added our pic to the @CarterCenter mosaic! #JimmyCarter100

Powers of persuasion. Biden states that the government will pay for the reconstruction of Baltimore's bridge and he expects Congress to back him. Due to Separation of Powers he can't do this on his own, but he has certainly applied pressure to HoR to pledge the money needed

Fourteen years ago today, I signed the Affordable Care Act into law.

Afterwards, one Republican member of the House called the ACA the “most dangerous piece of legislation ever passed in Congress.” Another predicted the country would “never recover from it.”

But then something else happened: it actually worked.

This month marks the 10th anniversary of President Carter's appeal to end gender discrimination and abuses of women and girls. The Human Rights Program recommits itself to pushing President and Mrs. Carter’s legacy of championing women’s rights forward. #ACallToAction
