While House Republicans are trying to defend voting against a bill to address the baby formula shortage, we know their only strategy is to obstruct President Biden's progress.

Here's your #WeeklyStatesRoundup 🧵:
Pennsylvania Republicans put the American people last, and we cannot trust them to stand up for working families.

President Biden and Democrats will remain laser-focused on working to bring baby formula to shelves and preventing another shortage.

Folks, it’s just sad.

Instead of helping families with $28 million in aid to address the baby formula shortage, North Carolina Republicans also voted no. But, as Democrats do, we're making sure safe formula gets to all who need it.

Unlike 192 House Republicans, President Biden and Democrats are working to get the baby formula shortage under control—and make sure this doesn’t happen again.

The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law continues to invest in states like Ohio to improve passenger rail and strengthen our supply chains.

Ohioans can continue building on this historic progress across the country by electing @TimRyan to the Senate!

Michigan will receive part of a $368 million rail infrastructure and safety grant that’s been awarded to 46 projects in 32 states.

After years of talk from the last guy, President Biden brought us into an infrastructure decade, and we see it in action.⬇️

This week, Democrats got to work addressing the infant formula shortage and helping prevent price gouging at the gas pump, while Republicans are more interested in pushing their ultra-MAGA agenda than helping the American people.

Here's your #WeeklyStatesRoundup 🧵:
While Democrats moved quickly to deliver for families and address the baby formula shortage, Wisconsin Republicans continued to vote against progress and fail their constituents.

While families are struggling, Iowa Republicans turned their back on their communities.

Democrats will continue to work for families despite Republicans refusing to get more resources to help put infant formula on the shelves.

🧵 #FearFraudFascism #StandUp GOP stole a Supreme Court Seat! Tried to steal the Presidency via coup! Attempting to steal Congress w/ voter suppression laws & now are attacking fundamental freedoms- a woman’s right to choose!

2022 IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION of OUR LIFETIME!
The Court’s legitimacy is on the line.

For 50 years- Roe was settled law. “Stare Decisis”- was what many of these Republican Justices pledged to follow. They lied.

So what’s next:
⚖️ Marriage Equality?
⚖️ Loving v. VA?
⚖️ Brown v. Board?
The story here is that in an unprecedented move 5 Republican justices will overturn 50 years of legal precedence and destroy women’s rights and the legitimacy of the Supreme Court in the process.

🧵: When you & your kin have never had to worry about the FAFSA; college funds running out; pell/perkins $ coming in so as to buy books & food; the diff between subsidized/unsubsidized; finding a decent work study job & then starting life w/ 150k of debt, then you write this 👇🏾
For many, college is the gateway to break the cycle of poverty that entraps their family. I am a 1st-gen college grad. The first day I visited campus was the 1st day I enrolled. We couldn’t afford college visits- many can’t. I didn’t know what to expect & neither did my family.
On top of the demands & rigor of coursework, many students have financial anxiety. My first year, I was on the verge of having Thanksgiving alone in my dorm, but our Asst Bursar Alberta Deas heard about it & gave me a special loan to get a train ticket to SC to be with my family.

This week, Democrats celebrated 12 years of the Affordable Care Act, which provided access to affordable health care to those who need it. Meanwhile, Republicans are pushing their agenda to gut coverage and make health care more expensive.

Here's your #WeeklyStatesRoundup 🧵:
Republican Senator @RonJohnsonWI has called to repeal the ACA and take health care away from his constituents, but Democrats in Wisconsin are prepared to keep fighting to protect their health care.

This week, they took the fight to his office.
wkow.com/townnews/polit…
If Republicans take control, there’s a chance they could try to take affordable health care away from millions of people.

Democrats and President Biden will protect your health care and continue working to lower the price of prescription drugs.

Today’s jobs report makes it clear: President Biden’s economic plan is working. The economy is booming, and continues to exceed expectations. 🧵
Thanks to the work of Democrats who passed the American Rescue Plan, got millions of Americans vaccinated, and tackled supply chain bottlenecks, the economy has created a record 6.6 million jobs in 12 months.
2021 was the greatest year of job creation under any president in history.

While Republican lawmakers do everything they can to prolong the pandemic, the Biden-Harris administration is rolling up its sleeves and putting in the work to put this pandemic behind us.

Throughout Black History Month and all year long, Democrats celebrate the contributions of Black Americans past and present. 🧵
Both our party and our nation have come so far standing on the shoulders of giants like Fannie Lou Hamer, Jesse Jackson, and Shirley Chisholm, who paved a path for the historic leadership of President Barack Obama and Vice President Kamala Harris.
From the fight for equal rights in order to bend the long arc of the moral universe towards justice to pushing back against modern day Republican anti-voter efforts, Democrats are committed to showing up.

We stand up, and we don’t back down.
