With three weeks until the election, I know it's too late to change minds, especially on here, but in the spirit of answering the question, "What has @POTUS done for the American people?", I've collected these objective wins that happened because of the Biden administration. 🧵

The @FTC is cracking down on fake reviews and paid reviews online.

Another thing the @FTC is doing: making it easier to cancel your subscriptions so you don't have to jump through so many hoops just to get out of a recurring bill:

This is a pet topic of @chrislhayes: The Biden Administration is refilling the strategic oil reserve at a profit. This also had the effect of bringing down gas prices.

More on that last one since it's a complicated subject, and also one of the biggest wins that will never get major headlines:

Lina Khan, Biden's appointed Chair of the FTC, has been a beast for the American consumer. This is just one of her big victories: reducing the costs of asthma inhalers

You wouldn't know it by the Trump campaign rhetoric, but fentanyl deaths have been seeing a major decline, in part because of the Biden administration's policy on providing access to Naloxone

More on that: "For the first time in decades, public health data shows a sudden and hopeful drop in drug overdose deaths across the U.S."

The Biden administration played a big part in this victory for the @IBEW. This administration has been strongly pro-union:

The Biden/Harris Child Tax Credit helped reduce child poverty across the country, and especially for children of color. When the Republicans blocked an expansion of this credit, poverty went back up. The CTC is so popular, Trump/Vance are running on it:

While not perfect (nothing would be), the Inflation Reduction Act included a huge climate win. It's objectively the largest investment in clean energy the US has ever made.

There are surely even more wins, and I'll add them to this 🧵as they come to my attention. But on these accomplishments alone, this has been a remarkably productive and successful four years for a president. Also, if you like those FTC wins, just know #Project2025 would gut it.

Also: I've said this a dozen times: the Biden admin has had failures. In terms of Palestine, history will judge it very unkindly. But this election is a choice between Trump and Harris (no third party has a chance), and for that reason, @KamalaHarris is the only choice.
