The current economic slowdown in April 2025 is not primarily Biden's fault. Evidence points to Trump's trade policies, especially tariffs, as the main cause, with GDP growth forecasts cut due to these measures. Biden's policies, like the American Rescue Plan, led to a strong recovery, with 14 million jobs created and inflation controlled by 2023. Critics link Biden's spending to past inflation, but this isn't tied to the 2025 slowdown. Economic impacts are complex, but recent policies under Trump are the key driver.

Pediatric ICU at > 127% capacity.
>50% of kids ventilated.
Surgeries cancelled.
Community partners at maximum capacity and being supported virtually as no space at Sick Kids.
465 Americans lost their lives today from COVID19. Depending on the org crunching numbers, Covid = 2nd 3rd or 4th leading cause of death on a daily basis in USA. It ain’t over. And some of us expect (me for example) yet another major variant this winter. Get your bivalent booster

The most important thing about this amazing Paris transformation is how fast it happened — how fast people on bikes “appeared” — once streets were transformed. You can’t write this off as “Paris was always this way,” because it wasn’t.
It took leadership.
