Pat Schroeder was a pioneer. In her 24 years in Congress, she seized every opportunity to advance equality for women, and the laws she helped pass fundamentally reshaped our country for the better. The 1978 Pregnancy Discrimination Act, which protected women from being fired for having children. The Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, which allowed millions of women and men to care for family members without losing their jobs. The opening of military jobs – including flying combat missions – to women. More access to early screening for breast and cervical cancer for lower-income women. On issue after issue, Pat stood up for basic…

There is a lot of pro-Putin bias in the Western world. We aim to dispel this “macho” propaganda and reveal true colors of his regime: murder, intimidation, industrialized kleptocracy and well-funded russian fascism propaganda machines. We were born in Russia, we have lost friends to this murderer… we see how he “zombifies” most and intimidates and beats down the rest. We also know where his weak spots are and what atrocities his regime is committing on a daily basis.

Today, on Equal Pay Day, White House and Biden Administration leaders convened workers, union leaders, construction contractors, heads of tradeswomen organizations, and equal pay experts to discuss how President Biden’s Investing in America agenda is providing economic opportunities for women in fields where they are historically underrepresented, in turn helping to close the gender pay gap.  Administration participants included Jennifer Klein, Director of the Gender Policy Council; Mitch Landrieu, Senior Advisor to the President and Infrastructure Coordinator; Lael Brainard, Director of the National Economic Council; Heather Boushey, Chief Economist to the Invest in America Task Force and Member of the…

Private ResidenceRancho Santa Fe, California  6:47 P.M. PDT THE PRESIDENT:  Thank you.  Thank you for the comment about the book, Allan.  I — I appreciate it.  And tell your wife I said, “Thank you for all the preparation.”  It’s never easy.  Everybody says, “No problem.”  You have to work like the devil to get it done.  (Laughter.) And I want to thank all of you for not just the help, but for taking the time.  Your time is more valuable than anything else.  And thank you for doing this.  I really mean it.  You know, I heard you had read the book.  The…

President Biden ran for office determined to make the United States the global leader once again in manufacturing.  Last month, Boeing completed its second largest commercial transaction in history for over 200 aircraft to support an expansion of Air India’s commercial fleet.  Today, Boeing completed two deals with Saudi Arabia to manufacture up to 121 Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft equipped with General Electric’s most advanced GEnex engines.  These landmark deals with Saudi Arabia – one to anchor a new airline and another to expand an existing fleet – are valued at nearly $37 billion.  In a period of weeks, Boeing has closed two of…

Today’s report shows annual inflation is down by a third from this summer at a time when the unemployment rate remains near a 50-year low.   That is the slowest annual increase since September 2021.   I will continue working to lower costs for hard-working Americans so they have a little more breathing room at the end of the month. On that front, I am pleased at today’s announcement that, in line with my call, Novo Nordisk will be lowering their insulin prices by 75 percent, following Eli Lilly’s action.  This builds on the important progress we made last year when I signed…
