This afternoon, I’m signing the long overdue Emmett Till Antilynching Act into law — making lynching a federal hate crime. Living up to our founding principles as a nation means coming to terms with the sins of our past. Today, we take another step toward that more perfect union.
Let’s make college more affordable.
My budget doubles the maximum Pell Grant to nearly $13,000 and helps the more than 8 million students who rely on Pell Grants pay for college.
The Affordable Care Act has delivered quality, affordable health coverage to more than 30 million Americans. To celebrate its anniversary, I called Jessie Green and Brenda Hart to hear how the Affordable Care Act has impacted their lives.

President Biden is on his way to Europe to meet with our allies and partners in response to Putin’s brutal war in Ukraine. Amanda Sloat from @POTUS’s National Security team previews his trip:

.@POTUS: Ketanji Brown Jackson "is absolutely brilliant. She graduated magna cum laude from undergrad. She was editor of the [Harvard] Law Review in law school. She clerked for SCOTUS. She's been confirmed by the US Senate for 3 different positions. And she has real character."
As Judge Jackson begins her Supreme Court confirmation hearings this week, I look forward to the Senate and country seeing how incredibly qualified she is for the job. She’s a brilliant legal mind with the utmost character and integrity. I know she’ll make an exceptional Justice.
Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson is a brilliant legal mind with the utmost character and integrity.
She deserves to be confirmed as the next Justice of the Supreme Court.
Oil prices are decreasing, gas prices should too.
Last time oil was $96 a barrel, gas was $3.62 a gallon. Now it’s $4.31.
Oil and gas companies shouldn’t pad their profits at the expense of hardworking Americans.
Just for the record, Judge Jackson's supporters include the Fraternal Order of Police, conservative former federal judges Tom Griffith and Michael Luttig, a bipartisan group of former Supreme Court clerks, and the International Association of the Chiefs of Police.
We are always working to meet the American people where they are.... and they are definitely on #TikTok - thanks to all the creators that joined.
