Two years ago, Joe Biden inherited a total dumpster fire. Considering the unprecedented challenges he faced, I’d say he’s done pretty damn well.

"A national sales tax would likely be more regressive than the current income tax, hitting lower- and middle-income Americans harder... It would also fall harder on the shoulders of parents."
No national sales tax will make it past me in the Senate.

2 years ago, climate policy was mostly a bunch of good ideas in PDFs.
2 years later, we are here. Climate laws & leadership.
Against all odds, the Biden-Harris Administration did the most ambitious climate policy in history.
The most ambitious climate policy in history…so far

Thanks to the Biden-Harris Administration, we're investing in America—more Americans applied to start a small business in the past two years than ever before.
That's not an accident.

On January 20th, 2021, I placed my hand on my family's bible and gave you my word as a Biden that I'd serve you thinking not of power, but of possibilities.
Two years, millions of new jobs, and countless investments later – I'm proud to have kept my word.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day. While I agree with Trump on virtually nothing, he is right to say: “Under no circumstances should Republicans vote to cut a single penny from Medicare or Social Security.” Let's raise taxes on billionaires, not cut retirement benefits.

Two years ago, when ceremonially swore in over 1,000 Day One Biden-Harris appointees, he told us "We have to restore the soul of this country and I'm counting on all of you to be part of that."
Two years later, we have a lot to be proud of. 🧵

How extreme is the House GOP plan to cut Social Security and Medicare?
So extreme that even Donald Trump is saying, "Hey, that's too extreme for me!"

Republicans have vowed not to raise the federal government’s borrowing capacity unless Biden makes steep cuts to federal spending, potentially impacting social insurance programs like Social Security and Medicare.

25% of the entire 200+ year national debt was added during Donald Trump's four years.
MOST of the Trump debt was added before COVID hit.
Congress raised the debt limit three times under Trump.

Democrats have carelessly spent our taxpayer money and devalued our currency.
