This week, I joined @SecretaryPete, Mayor @LondonBreed and local transportation and community leaders to celebrate the new Central Subway Muni Metro line running through Chinatown. Our ride and tour was a thrilling preview of what this project brings to the Bay Area.
With the Central Subway in Chinatown, San Francisco maintains its status as a smart, sustainable, spectacular model for the nation. This will be a deeply needed boon for a community hit hard by the pandemic – and racist conspiracy theories that sadly ensued.
Inspired by the Bay Area’s progress, Congress delivered game-changing infrastructure investments nationwide. Transportation is the #1 source of carbon pollution. Our Infrastructure Law is creating jobs & rebuilding communities — essential to our fight against the #climatecrisis.

Today, Americans join the people of the United Kingdom in mourning the sad passing of Queen Elizabeth II. Over her seven decades on the throne, Her Majesty was a pillar of leadership in the global arena and a devoted friend of freedom.
On behalf of the United States Congress, I extend our deepest and most sincere condolences to the Royal Family during this sad time. Queen Elizabeth embodied the highest spirit of civic duty: earning the reverence of her people and the respect of the world.
Her Majesty capably shepherded the United Kingdom through great turbulence and transition. As the Head of the Commonwealth, she helped advance a new global order of security, prosperity and peace.

Today, I had the honor of engaging in a working session with Her Majesty Queen Máxima of the Netherlands. Image
I commended the Netherlands' bold leadership on climate, and I proudly accepted Her Majesty's praise for our efforts – in California and across America – to build a sustainable future.
We also discussed both the opportunities and challenges that social media presents to our society and to our children.
 
On these and other issues, we found common ground and shared values. ImageImage

Today, a radical, Republican-appointed federal judge ruled that employers can deny coverage for PrEP: a drug proven to save lives from HIV/AIDS and a key strategy for ending the epidemic.
This disturbing decision amounts to open homophobia: unleashing unthinkable suffering and death specifically among the LGBTQ community.
This decision also threatens vital preventative health services guaranteed under the Affordable Care Act, including birth control, vaccinations and routine health screenings.

On #LaborDay, our nation honors the skill, devotion and solidarity of the hard-working Americans who make up the heart of our economy and the foundation of our country’s strength. Image
This year, while marking the transformative achievements of America’s labor movement throughout our history, we celebrate an organizing wave that is reaching workplaces across the nation – from coffee shops and warehouses to newsrooms and ballparks.
.@POTUS and Congressional Democrats are proud to fight alongside a burgeoning labor movement as we put #PeopleOverPolitics.

Because we know that the middle class is the backbone of our Democracy – and the middle class has a union label on it.

The August jobs numbers show that America is continuing its strong & steady job growth. Under @POTUS, our nation has powered record-setting job creation: helping millions get back to work, while empowering Americans to get off the sidelines & rejoin the workforce.
This robust and ongoing jobs recovery was sparked by Democrats’ American Rescue Plan and furthered by our Infrastructure Law. Now, we are building on this momentum to lower kitchen table costs and create more opportunities for our workers.
Our CHIPS & Science Act will create good-paying jobs in American semiconductor manufacturing & technological innovation. Our #InflationReductionAct will deliver 9 million new jobs in clean energy, while slashing prescription drug costs for seniors & energy bills for families.

Tonight, @POTUS Biden, in his inspiring and optimistic remarks, made crystal clear that our rights, our freedom and our Democracy are on the line.
Every American who cares about the integrity of our Democracy, the fairness of our economy, the safety of our communities and the health of our planet is grateful to the President for his values-based vision and patriotic leadership.
Extreme MAGA Republicans are orchestrating a sinister campaign. By criminalizing women's health care, ending Social Security & Medicare & undermining our elections, the GOP is working to turn back the clock on fundamental liberties while fanning the flames of violence & division.
