@POTUS

.@POTUS is deeply committed to taking action to reduce all forms of gun violence. Our Administration has taken more steps using existing authority to reduce gun violence than any other Administration in its first year. Here's some of what we’ve done so far, and the work ahead:

On April 7, the President delivered a Rose Garden address announcing initial steps to reduce gun violence, including reining in the proliferation of ghost guns. whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…

After his Rose Garden address, President Biden invited the gun violence survivors in the audience into the Oval Office to continue the conversation on gun violence reduction.

@POTUS

In June, @POTUS hosted a roundtable discussion on reducing gun crime with law enforcement and community leaders, including people directly impacted by gun violence who now lead community violence interventions.

Later that same day, the President announced his comprehensive strategy to reduce gun crime, including new executive actions to stem the supply of firearms into illegal markets and expand community-oriented policing.

In July, President Biden hosted a second roundtable discussion on reducing gun crime with law enforcement and community leaders, including another person directly impacted by gun violence who now leads community violence interventions.

Just last month, our Administration released a third package of executive actions to reduce gun violence, focused on promoting safe storage of firearms. Safe storage of firearms helps reduce suicide, family violence, and other gun tragedies.

@POTUS

Right now, @POTUS is calling for the Senate to pass three pieces of House-passed legislation to reduce gun violence, including the Build Back Better Act, which includes a historic $5 billion for community violence interventions proven to save lives.

@POTUS

Today, @POTUS marked nine years since the Sandy Hook elementary school tragedy, remembering all of the lives lost and forever affected by gun violence since that shooting, and repeating his call for Congress to pass commonsense gun legislation.

Ahead of Hurricane Milton’s landfall, the Biden-Harris Administration is working around the clock to pre-position aid, personnel, and resources to save lives and livelihoods.

Here's the latest:

President Biden immediately approved emergency declarations for the State of Florida and the Seminole Tribe of Florida.

Although there are thousands of federal personnel on the ground already working on Hurricane Helene recovery, we increased the size and scope of our operation.

FEMA has staged 20 million meals and 40 million liters of water.

At President Biden’s direction, @SecDef has pre-positioned search and rescue teams, helicopters, and high-water vehicles as close to the storm as possible.

Since Hurricane Helene made landfall, there have been false claims and misinformation regarding the federal assistance available to survivors, from former President Trump, Congressional Republicans, and others.

These claims are not true. 🧵

Last month, Congress passed a short-term extension of government funding.

That funding ensured that FEMA has the funds and capability to immediately respond to extreme events like Hurricane Helene – and they're doing just that.

Before the storm hit, President Biden instructed federal agencies to pre-position critical supplies like food, water, and emergency vehicles close to affected areas.

Since then, federal personnel have distributed millions of meals and liters of water to survivors.

200 judges have been confirmed since President Biden took office.

Together, these judges form the most diverse group of judicial appointees ever put forward by a President.

Let’s take a look.

64% of the federal judges confirmed under President Biden are women – with 127 women judges confirmed.

And, 62% of the federal judges confirmed are people of color.

Under President Biden, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is the first Black woman confirmed to the Supreme Court.

And more Black women have been confirmed to circuit courts than all other presidents combined.

This week, President Biden presented these awards to nineteen individuals.

Here are their stories:
