Don’t know yet what this impact will be, but it feels great that the @POTUS Biden/ @VP Harris team are leading the charge to fix a woefully, confusingly, broken system.

Because America as a whole, even in its invention, delights, spirit and love, feels depressed. Reasons, pretty well & widely known. But, most importantly, may we take time to care for ourselves and each other.

The rule is now simple: get vaccinated or wear a mask until you do.

The choice is yours.

Madam Speaker. Madam Vice President. No president has ever said those words from this podium — and it’s about time.

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

Today marks 100 days since Vice President Harris and I took office, and we’ve been building back better every day since.

[Jill Biden Archived @FLOTUS46Archive]

100 days. We're just getting started.

[Jill Biden Archived @FLOTUS46Archive]

Proud.

@EsmeCameron @LeahMishkinNJ @NJSpotlightNews @RyanForRecovery @PJK4brainhealth Dear @LeahMishkinNJ, please look into the debacle of substance abuse treatment for seniors. Medicare is not accepted for Longterm inpatient, and only for shorter inpatient if the patient is lucky enough to get a bed in only two facilities. One of them has 20 total beds.

[Karen Johnson @KJPR]

@PJK4brainhealth @RecoveryWays Thank you. We need to do something about Medicare. It is leaving seniors in the dust. It will not cover any significant substance treatment. It will only cover a hospital detox of a couple days, then the senior is on hos own. It is discriminatory and causes to more addiction.

[Karen Johnson @KJPR]

@POTUS Yes we can.

@CharlesPPierce, there are days when you give me reason to live! LOL — keep rock ‘n rollin’...

[Charles P. Pierce @CharlesPPierce]

Nobody cares.

Biden pulls the card he carries from his pocket with the current Covid death toll and reads the number — more than 533,000 now dead.
