@POTUS 10,000 deaths president biden. On our hands no way you want to fluff it. I’m tired of my country destroying others.

Endometriosis affects millions of women and girls. But we don't talk about it. I'm proud to have been an executive producer of "Below the Belt," a documentary airing on PBS on June 21 that breaks the silence. Don't miss this moving, informative, and infuriating film. https://t.co/2LUmmokj37

Neerja Bhanot was a flight attendant on Pan Am Flight 73 when it was hijacked in Pakistan by Palestinian terrorists on September 5, 1986. She helped the pilots escape, saved American passengers from execution, and opened the emergency door so hundreds could jump to safety. Ultimately, she was killed while shielding three children from gunfire.

Twenty-two-year-old Indian air hostess Neerja Bhanot was always a woman of courage and convictions. Despite the traditions of her culture and her family's protests, she left her arranged marriage when her husband proved abusive. Then she struck out on her own and began working as both a model and a flight attendant for Pan Am. But shortly after she began her new career in the skies, disaster struck when a flight she was working was hijacked by four terrorists in 1986. Though she was new to the job, she proved to be the greatest hero of the entire ordeal. Over the course of 17 harrowing hours, she helped both the pilots and hundreds of passengers to escape. In the end, she was killed while using her body to protect three children from gunfire.

Bhanot was posthumously awarded medals of bravery from India, Pakistan, and the United States. And one of the children she saved grew up to be a pilot himself and credited Bhanot for his decision.

So glad I didn’t buy a Tesla when I got my EV, how embarrassing.

I know hidden junk fees – like processing fees on concert tickets – are a pain.

They’re unfair, deceptive, and add up.

That’s why, last week, I called on my Administration to crack down on these fees and put that money back in your pocket.

@POTUS thank you so much for your student loan forgiveness plans!

There's something about grief that makes you feel like you're the only person who has experienced it, and #NeverHaveIEver character Devi is a reminder that's not true. https://t.co/81CIxMDglg
