@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.

In America, one-in-four Americans who take prescription drugs struggle to afford them.

It doesn't have to be that way. President Biden's Build Back Better Act will lower the cost of prescription drugs and make health care more affordable for every American.

In the U.S., 200,000 people under the age of 20 live with Type 1 diabetes.

A bottle of insulin costs less than $10 to make, but a month’s supply can sometimes cost up to $1000.

@POTUS

Under the Build Back Better Act, @POTUS will lower costs for families dealing with diabetes by:
1. Capping insulin co-pays at $35/month
2. Helping individuals get coverage under the Affordable Care Act
3.Taxing drug companies that raise their drug prices faster than inflation

COVID-19 Progress Update:
This week, the FDA and CDC concluded that all adults are eligible for a COVID-19 booster shot 6 months after primary vaccination.

Thanks to @POTUS’s planning, over 32M Americans already got their booster and boosters are available at over 80K locations.

We’re also making strong progress in vaccinating our children against COVID-19 -- already 10% of 5-11 year-olds have gotten their first shot.

Vaccination remains the safest and most effective to keep kids, schools, and communities healthy.

The United States has shipped over 250M vaccines to the world – more than all other countries combined.

Our administration also announced a historic opportunity for mRna manufacturers to receive funding and resources from the USG to produce an additional 1B doses.

The House has now passed President Biden's Build Back Better Act – bringing us one step closer to President Biden’s desk for signing. Here's just some of what's in it.

THREAD:

The Build Back Better Act lowers the costs of prescriptions drugs — so if you’re one of millions of Americans with diabetes, sometimes paying $1,000 a month for insulin — the cost is capped to $35 a month.

This bill will lower the cost of child care so working families don’t pay more than 7% of their income on care for their youngest children, which will help millions of parents get back to work.

@POTUS

Today, @POTUS will travel to Detroit to visit an electric vehicle assembly plant and talk about how the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law will bring good-paying, union jobs and transform our infrastructure.

Here are just some of the ways the law will change things in Michigan:

Under the new infrastructure law, Michigan would expect to receive at least $110 million over five years to support the expansion of a convenient and equitable EV charging network.

In Michigan there are 1,219 bridges and over 7,300 miles of highway in poor condition and each Michigan driver pays $644 per year in costs due to driving on roads in need of repair. Under the new infrastructure law, Michigan is expected to receive $7.3B for repairs and projects.

The Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal represents the most significant long-term investments in American infrastructure and global competitiveness in nearly a century.

Here are 10 of the bill's most significant wins:

1. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal invests $110B to repair and rebuild roads and bridges, focusing on resilience, equity, and safety.

2. The deal invests $65B to ensure every American has access to reliable high-speed internet and lower the cost of internet service.

3. The deal will deliver the largest federal investment in public transit ever. It will expand public transit options across every state, replace thousands of deficient transit vehicles, including buses, with clean, zero emission vehicles, and improve accessibility.

@COP26

Heading into @COP26, President Biden announced the Build Back Better Framework – the largest effort to combat climate change in American history alongside his Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal.

Here's how these bills deliver on our climate goals, lower costs, and create jobs:

First, what are our climate goals?

President Biden is committed to reaching a 100% carbon pollution-free power sector by 2035 and achieving a net-zero economy by no later than 2050 – all while creating good paying, union jobs at home.

The Build Back Better Framework delivers clean energy rebates for consumers — lowering the costs of electric vehicles by $12,500 and cutting the cost of installing rooftop solar for a home by around 30 percent.
