Care workers and caregivers are critical to our nation’s families and our entire economy. Our Administration will keep working to lower costs for families for care and boost supports for care workers and caregivers.

Francis Scott Key Bridge Update:

This morning, President Biden convened senior members of his team for a briefing on the ongoing response to the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge.

During the briefing, President Biden directed his team to ensure all federal resources be made available to assist in the ongoing search and rescue efforts and response to this incident. President Biden also spoke with Governor Moore, Mayor Scott, County Executive Olszewski, both U.S. Senators, the Congressman, and Secretary Buttigieg. He told them we will send any federal resource they need as we respond to this emergency and rebuild together.

President Biden spoke with Prime Minister Netanyahu today about the latest developments in Israel and Gaza, including Israel’s military operations, increasing humanitarian assistance going to Gaza, and efforts to bring hostages home.

@POTUS emphasized his commitment to ensuring the long-term security of Israel and affirmed that Israel has a right to go after Hamas.

At the same time, a humanitarian crisis has descended across Gaza. More innocent civilians have died in this military operation than in all previous wars in Gaza combined. President Biden explained why he is alarmed at the prospect of Israel conducting a major military operation in Rafah, where more than a million Palestinians have taken refuge.

He rejected the strawman argument that raising questions about Rafah is equivalent to raising questions about defeating Hamas.

Hamas should not be allowed a safe haven anywhere. But a major ground operation there would be a mistake.

The key goals Israel wants to achieve can be done by other means.

This year, President Biden crisscrossed the globe to strengthen America’s alliances and partnerships so we can tackle the shared challenges we face.

Here’s a 2023 travel recap. ✈️ 🗓️January

President Biden met with President Andrés Manuel López Obrador and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in Mexico City for the 10th North American Leaders’ Summit. The leaders discussed working together to strengthen our region’s security, prosperity, and sustainability.

On Small Business Saturday, the Biden-Harris Administration celebrates the hardworking Americans who run our small businesses and keep our economy moving.

We’re committed to helping them grow and succeed.

There are a lot more Congressional Republicans taking credit for President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law than who actually voted for it.

On the two-year anniversary of the law, let’s take a look.

🧵 Senator Tuberville voted against the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.

Here he is touting its investments in Alabama.

NEW: Last night, @POTUS reached a milestone of 150 confirmed federal judges.

These judges come from diverse professional backgrounds that have been underrepresented on the bench for far too long.

Here are a few additional ways these highly qualified jurists are making history.

The Biden-Harris Administration condemns, in the strongest terms, the alarming rise in antisemitic incidents at schools and on college campuses.

There is no place for hate in America. Here are some of the steps the Administration is taking to address this alarming rise. The Department of Education is making it easier for students who experience Antisemitism, Islamophobia, or related discrimination to file a complaint under Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

Even Senator Tuberville’s fellow Republican Senators are tired of him blocking military appointments.

Let them tell you in their own words. Here’s Republican Senator Dan Sullivan on how Senator Tuberville is holding up 376 promotions in the military.

This morning, President Biden arrived in Tel Aviv to stand in solidarity with the people of Israel and show his steadfast support following Hamas’s appalling terrorist attack, as well as consult on next steps. President Biden met with Prime Minister Netanyahu to discuss the situation on the ground, objectives in the days ahead, and what Israel needs to defend itself from terrorism.

Since the terrorist attacks in Israel began this weekend, President Biden has been receiving regular updates on the situation from his national security team.

@POTUS spoke with @IsraeliPM this weekend to reaffirm the United States stands with Israel as they defend themselves. On Saturday, President Biden also spoke with King Abdullah of Jordan and the two leaders agreed to stay in regular contact, including through their respective national security teams.

We’re less than two weeks away from the end of the fiscal year and extreme House Republicans are marching our country toward a government shutdown.

Here’s what you to need to know: Just a few months ago, President Biden and Congressional leaders reached a bipartisan budget agreement.

Now, extreme House Republicans are ignoring this deal and demanding devastating cuts to critical programs as a condition of keeping the government open.

Hi everyone, it's @SecCardona here reporting from the Back to School Bus Tour! 👋

I'm taking over the White House account today so you can join me for a day in the life on our #EDBusTour23 and learn about how we’re investing in America’s students, teachers, and communities. 🚌 Before we get started, a little bit about me:

I have two decades of experience as a public-school educator, and my favorite place to be is in the classroom.

As a parent and an educator, I am dedicated to putting our kids first.

It’s unfortunate to see Senators work to deny their own constituents relief through the most affordable student loan repayment plan in history.

345,800 of Senator Cornyn’s constituents have already enrolled in the SAVE plan. 45,300 of Senator Hyde-Smith’s constituents have already enrolled in the SAVE plan.

On Women’s Equality Day and every day, the Biden-Harris Administration is committed to advancing rights and opportunities for women and girls at home and around the world.

Here’s how we’re building on our country’s progress toward gender equality: Economic Security:
- Ensuring women have access to good-paying jobs in sectors where they’ve been historically underrepresented
- Signed an Executive Order to eliminate discriminatory pay practices and advance pay equity
- Signed historic legislation to ensure protections for pregnant women and nursing mothers in the workplace
- Signed an Executive Order with the most comprehensive set of executive actions ever to support caregivers and expand access to child care

Since the onset of the Maui wildfires, President Biden launched a whole-of-government effort to support residents and affected communities.

Here’s how the Administration is working to help Maui rebuild and recover as quickly as possible. There are more than 1,000 federal personnel on the ground on Maui, including nearly 450 search and rescue team members and 40 canines.

@FEMA’s Disaster Survivor Assistance teams are going to shelters and homes to help people register for assistance.

140 federal judges have been confirmed since President Biden took office.

Of these 140 highly-qualified judges, there’s a number of historic firsts.

Let’s take a look. Judge Zahid Quraishi in New Jersey is the first Muslim American federal judge in U.S. history.

And, Judge Nusrat Choudhury in New York is the first Muslim American woman to serve as a federal judge in U.S. history.

.@SecretaryPete here to take over the White House account as we hit the road talking Bidenomics and announcing the Biden-Harris Administration’s investments in our nation’s infrastructure. Good morning, Washington State! Today, we’re on the ground announcing several projects that are better connecting people across land and water.

Today, the Supreme Court ruled against hardworking Americans.

This Administration’s student debt relief plan would have provided much-need relief to millions of borrowers who are still trying to recover from a once-in-century pandemic.

We’re taking action. ⬇️ First, the Administration is taking action today to open a new alternative path to provide debt relief to as many working and middle-class borrowers as possible under the Higher Education Act.

DACA has provided more than 800,000 Dreamers the ability to work lawfully, pursue an education, and contribute their immense skills and talents to communities across our nation.

On the 11th anniversary of DACA, this Administration is uplifting the stories of four Dreamers. Diego was born in Peru and moved to Texas when he was nine-years-old. After DACA was announced, he secured a job as a software developer and later became a realtor. Now, his real estate team is ranked #16 in the country and employs hundreds of people.

Hidden junk fees – like processing fees on concert tickets and service fees on lodging – can add up quickly.

Today, @POTUS announced companies who have answered his call to end junk fees and committed to “all-in pricing.”

Here’s what you need to know: “All-in pricing” is when companies disclose any fees at the start of the shopping process – rather than hiding those fees until after you’ve selected your preferred option.
