At first stop today @POTUS talked about having only 48 votes to pass the major remaining planks of his agenda. Now at second event, Biden says the permanent expansion of child tax credit has stalled because of “one Democrat and 50 Republicans.” Biden and certainly his WH have shied away from discussing the stalled parts of agenda mostly of late.

.@POTUS says he’s been quietly having conversations with lawmakers about voting bills but, slamming the lectern, says: “I’m tired of being quiet!” So much of the focus around the speech has been whether the few key Dems can be swayed to support Senate rule change. Biden, though, calling out Republicans he says refuse to stand up to a “defeated” president and support the legislation

Just about 20 years ago at this moment, then-President Bush spoke by phone with then-Sen. Joe Biden.

Bush originally called from AF1 en route to Nebraska; they spoke later for 2 minutes after Bush arrived at Offutt AFB. Biden wrote in his book that Bush called to say he'd seen an interview he'd done earlier that day, and wanted to tell him he “made us all proud” with his comments.

In that interview, Biden said it was important it was for govt to get back to work quickly and praised Bush

In remarks in Shanksville, President Bush says since 9/11 threats to U.S. are also coming from "violence that gathers within."

He says violent extremists abroad and violent extremists at home are "children of the same foul spirit, and it is our continuing duty to confront them" Bush: "At a time when religious bigotry might have flowed freely, I saw Americans reject prejudice and embrace people of Muslim faith. That is the nation I know."

“We can and we will turn the tide of COVID-19,” @potus says.

He quickly hits at frustration with the millions of Americans who have not yet been vaccinated “We’re in a tough stretch, and it could last for a while,” Biden says

"We've made significant progress" since I spoke Monday, @POTUS says. Almost 6,000 troops on the ground. "This is one of the largest, most difficult airlifts in history." Says the U.S. is the only one who could pull it off Biden says commander on the ground has given order for flights to resume from HKIA. Says pause was about issues processing evacuees in "transit" point countries
