@Strandjunker And #Biden is responsible for sending more weapons for #israel to continue its #genocide in #Gaza. He could have stopped this catastrophe on day one, with s single phone call to Lloyd Austin to stop all weapon shipments to Israel. The US has a dysfunctional political system, when its 2 main candidates for national leadership are both amoral incompetents.

It’s too bad #Biden told states to spend their excess COVID relief funds on paying #police and not on upgrading school air quality #infrastructure and prophylactic PPE like N95. #health #children

“The #Biden administration is preparing to take the unusual step of issuing an order that would prevent US companies and citizens from using software made by a major Russian cybersecurity firm because of national security concerns, five US officials familiar with the matter told CNN.””

Although the United States did not veto United Nations Security Council Resolution 2728, the Biden Administration did not intend to let the ceasefire resolution take effect.

2 important actions should happen in the wake of the #WCK murders:

1) the #USA should reinstate funding to #UNRWA because it is obvious now that defunding was never about #Hamas but about stopping #food from getting to starving Palestinians

2) #Democrats should work to repeal the censure of Rashida Tlaib given Nancy Pelosi’s come-to-Jesus moment on ending weapons aid to #Israel

US probably going to veto at the Security Council so that the application won’t reach the UN General Assembly where it appears to have enough votes for approval:

“#Palestine’s application for UN membership is moving forward …. they also decided that they will expedite this application, meaning that they expect to deal with this entire process in the Security Council in the month of April.” #news #press #Gaza #Biden

Its soooo hard for me to take any group seriously that can ask me to vote for Biden and in the same breath sincerely argue the man isnt senile. At least if they admited his obvious senility it woukd show enough self awareness of the party that i might even consider getting on board.

#Biden administration pledged on Monday to provide up to $6.6 billion so that a Taiwanese semiconductor giant can expand the facilities it is already building in Arizona and better ensure that the most-advanced microchips are produced domestically for the first time.

I guess that explains why #DonaldTrump is having little issues finding companies to bond out of his civil lawsuit appeals.

Billionaires may despise #Trump, but they love his ideas about low taxes. They would definitely pay less taxes under Trump than #JoeBiden (I believe #Biden wanted to raise taxes on the wealthy).

This will be a close election in November.

"As native-born workers have aged into retirement, immigrants have taken their places and 'been essential to America’s post-COVID labor market recovery.'

Heather Long of the Washington Post added that wage growth has been 4.1% in the past year, which is well above the 3.2% inflation rate.

"According to economist Steven Rattner of Morning Joe, the United States has now had 26 consecutive months—more than two years—of unemployment under 4%, the longest stretch of unemployment that low since the late 1960s.

Rattner pointed out that immigrants have helped to push U.S. growth since the pandemic by adding millions of new workers to the labor market."

39 months of growth!

That ought to get all those "fiscal conservatives" to vote #Biden . Well, assuming they really care about the economic health of the nation, not just tax cuts.

#ThankYouMrPresident

Are Saudis and Trump working together to destroy US economy?

Is Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman trying to sabotage President Biden's reelection bid? It’s quite possible.

The Saudi leader, known as MBS, has made clear his disdain for President Biden.

He recently held a private meeting with Trump and has actively worked to raise US fuel prices in this election year!

“In the coming HOURS & DAYS, we will be looking for concrete, tangible steps that they’re taking” - WH spox John Kirby

The call between the 2 leaders came 3 days after 7 workers from the José Andrés-run #WCK were killed by an Israeli strike on a clearly marked convoy, igniting outrage in the #UnitedStates & abroad. #POTUS held the call w/ #Netanyahu specifically because of the deadly strikes, Kirby said, adding that #Biden was “shaken” by the attack.

#Biden warns #Netanyahu the situation in #Gaza is ‘unacceptable’

#POTUS said #UnitedStates #policy will change if #Israel does not immediately take ‘specific, concrete, & measurable’ steps to address the disaster

#geopolitics #Humanitarian
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/04/04/biden-warns-netanyahu-situation-gaza-is-unacceptable/

In Thur’s call, #Biden “made clear the need for #Israel to announce & implement a series of specific, concrete, & measurable steps to address #civilian harm, #humanitarian suffering, & the safety of #AidWorkers,” acc/to a WH summary of the call. “He made clear that #UnitedStates policy w/respect to #Gaza will be determined by our assessment of Israel’s immediate action on these steps.”

#Hamas #war #InternationalHumanitarianLaw #LawsOfWar #HumanRights

It marked the 1st time #Biden has indicated a willingness to reassess his unwavering support of #Israel’s campaign in #Gaza, as pressure grows among prominent #Democrats to condition #weapons sales to Israel as the death toll in Gaza has surpassed 32k, acc/to the Gaza Health Ministry. #POTUS’ rhetoric has grown increasingly sharp regarding Israel’s handling of the crisis, but until now he had not directly warned Israel of #consequences if it does not change course.
