Understanding what is behind the painfully high CPI inflation is key to understanding where it is headed and when. This table should help with this. The Russian invasion and spike in oil and other commodity prices is the #1 reason, followed by the pandemic & the housing shortage.
Signing off for now!
It's been an honor and a privilege to serve at the @WhiteHouse for the past year and a half to support @POTUS' agenda.
I'm excited to get started at @USTreasury to work for @SecYellen and her incredible team, and I hope you'll follow along @MichaelJGwin!
Unsurprisingly - given the source - this presentation is dishonest.
The full answer (from one of Jen's *hundreds* of briefings) made the opposite point.
She said we encouraged protesters to remain peaceful.
She never encouraged people to protest outside justices' homes.
Fundamentally, we are experiencing a robust economic recovery in large part due to @POTUS' leadership. The Bipartisan Innovation Act will continue this transition toward steady & stable economic growth that benefits all.
President Biden on Tuesday's primaries:
"I think the voters sent a clear message last night. Both parties have to step up and do something about crime as well as gun violence."
BIDEN on last night’s elections: “I think the voters sent a clear message last night. Both parties have to step up and do something about crime, as well as gun violence.”
The high gas prices we have today are tough and are impacting families. @POTUS understands this.
But high gas prices are also generating a lot of political arguments that aren’t based in facts.

NEW: Sen. Chris Murphy meets with Pres. Biden at the White House to personally update him on ongoing gun negotiations in the Senate as lawmakers try to reach a deal this week. https://t.co/IVDNsn0npo
Thank you @McConaughey. You just framed this perfectly. Since my daughter Jaime was murdered in Parkland, I have tried to engage gun owners and dads to support doing more.
"Responsible gun owners are fed up with the Second Amendment being abused and hijacked."
Matthew McConaughey, who just met with Biden and who learned to shoot growing up in Uvalde, Texas, says “this moment feels different” and “there is a sense that perhaps there's a viable path forward.”
Is there a better example of DC brain than shouting “are you grandstanding” at someone talking about how the mass murder of children in their hometown shouldn’t be in vain?
A visibly emotional @McConaughey slams the White House podium after showing the green Converse shoes of Maite Rodriguez - and revealing the shoes were the only detail that allowed her family to identify her maimed body.
