We continue to pray for the Surfside community—for the victims, their family members, and their friends. To our courageous first responders on the scene: we are grateful for all that you are doing.

The right to vote gives Americans a voice in what happens in their communities and in our nation. We must do everything we can to protect it.

-850k jobs created in June. -3 million jobs created since @POTUS and I took office—more than any administration in its first 5 months. Our economic plan is working.

Every American deserves access to clean drinking water. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Framework will help make that a reality by replacing lead service lines and pipes across our nation.

Almost 40 years ago, Congress worked across party lines to strengthen Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act in response to an adverse Supreme Court decision. Now, Congress must act again. Our democracy depends on it.

As Justice Elena Kagan stated in her dissent today, the Voting Rights Act “represents the best of America,” while it “reminds us of the worst of America” because “it was—and remains—so necessary.”

After Shelby County v. Holder, this is the second time in the last eight years that the Supreme Court has dismantled crucial protections of the Voting Rights Act.

Today, the U.S. Supreme Court handed down a decision that will undoubtedly restrict the right to vote, and in particular, for voters of color.

50 years ago, the 26th amendment was ratified, lowering the voting age to 18–a clear example of a bipartisan effort to strengthen our democracy by expanding the right to vote to more Americans. Today, @POTUS and I are fighting to protect that fundamental right.

In 2020, Americans voted in record numbers—and now some states are trying to make voting more difficult. Thank you @GovernorTomWolf for vetoing legislation that would have created barriers to voting in Pennsylvania. Our democracy is stronger when everyone participates.

The Bipartisan Infrastructure Framework will: - Create good union jobs - Strengthen our economy - Help our nation compete

The right to vote is not a Democratic right or a Republican right. It is an American right.

52 years ago, the Stonewall riots sparked a revolution. We have made incredible progress towards equality since then—and we cannot stop until every American has equal protection under the law.

Far too many Americans still lack access to high-speed internet. Our Administration is working to get affordable, high-speed internet to every American household.

As I said that day, through the ups and downs, the struggles and triumphs, Kris and Sandy were victorious. I believe the same is true—and will continue to be true—about the movement for equality. #Pride
