The last two years were the two strongest years of job growth on record.

@therecount The man who ran away from a storm dares to criticize a brave and fierce leader who heroically stayed in Kyiv defending his country while putting his life in danger.

F you, @tedcruz

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

One year later, Kyiv stands. Ukraine stands. Democracy stands. America — and the world — stands with Ukraine.

Рік потому Київ стоїть. Україна стоїть. Демократія стоїть. Америка – і світ – стоїть з Україною.

Last week, some Republican members of Congress wore these AR-15 lapel pins handed out by Congressman Andrew Clyde, who has a $25 million stake in a company that makes assault rifles.

Gun violence is the leading cause of death among children and teens in America.

@niknazmi continues his dialogue with NGOs. Today with @EnvDefenseFund and CETDEM on the climate & economic benefits of reducing O&G #methane emissions. The Minister's keen interest shows @nreccmalaysia's seriousness and the Minster's leadership on addressing climate change.

[🇲🇾 Nik Nazmi @niknazmi]

I spent yesterday meeting NGOs.

@lawyerkamek raised the impact of carbon markets to indigenous people.

@SahabatAlamMsia & @aktivis_alam spoke on forest plantations, logging & river pollution.

@MYDclimate urged the govt to be more open & proactive on involving youth & NGOs

[Dylan Ogline @DylanOgline]

It's not much to ask for.

I want solid healthcare, some nice roads and infrastructure, world class education, good social services, and a safety net for those less fortunate.

You know, all the stuff that we pay taxes for.

Not subsidies and tax breaks for the rich.

Trump has been a loser in every election since 2018. I’m glad people are waking up, but it shouldn’t be because we lost an election,

It should be because Trump is a stain on our country and dishonored the party.

[EDF Energy Transition @EDFEnergyEX]

Biden just announced new U.S. initiatives at #COP27 to fight climate change—one of which is a joint declaration among several key countries to #CutMethane emissions across oil and gas supply chains. This is huge for climate + energy security going forward: https://t.co/xp1Vq3oTuy

[International Methane Emissions Observatory (IMEO) @MethaneData]

On #DecarbonisationDay at #COP27, we are thrilled Malaysia’s national oil and gas company @PETRONAS has joined the Oil and Gas Methane Partnership 2.0, @UNEP’s flagship reporting and mitigation programme for the oil and gas industry ⬇️🧶

BREAKING: A federal judge in Texas has temporarily struck down Biden's student debt forgiveness program after a plaintiff filed a suit claiming it was “unfair for people who didn’t qualify.” The kicker: this same plaintiff received almost $50,000 in PPP loan forgiveness.

NEW: footage from the University of Michigan on-campus voting center shows a HUGE line of young people waiting to vote. Young people in Michigan — and across the country — are fired up and ready to turnout. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
