Statement from President Joe Biden on Jim Crown

Politics
When Jim and Paula Crown joined us at the White House last week for a State Dinner, Jim was as he always was – thoughtful, warm, a good man. It was heartbreaking to learn today of his shocking death. Jim lived a great Chicago story – one that tied our nation’s industrious past to an ever-hopeful future. He grew up the great-grandson of a sweatshop worker whose son turned a construction-supply company into an empire. Throughout his own career as a business and civic leader, Jim continued to drive that legacy forward, bring out the best in his peers, and…

Politics
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. Message from the source channel owner.

Statement from President Joe Biden on the Anniversary of Landmark Marriage Equality Rulings

Today marks the anniversary of three landmark Supreme Court cases which were consequential in affirming the basic truth that every American should have the right to marry the person they love. Ten years ago today, the Supreme Court rulings in United States v. Windsor and Hollingsworth v. Perry made significant strides laying the groundwork for marriage equality in our country. They were followed two years later, to the day, by the Supreme Court’s ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges, finally allowing millions of LGBTQI+ Americans to marry who they love. These monumental cases moved our country forward, and they were made…

Statement from President Biden on International Day in Support of Victims of Torture

Politics
Torture is prohibited everywhere and at all times.  It is illegal, immoral, and a stain on our collective conscience.  Today, on the International Day in Support of Victims of Torture, I reaffirm the United States’ opposition to all forms of inhumane treatment and our commitment to eliminating torture and assisting torture survivors as they heal and in their quests for justice.  Torture destroys lives, families, and communities.  Yet, every day, people around the world are subjected to this horrific violation of their human rights and human dignity.  In Ukraine, we have seen evidence of appalling brutality by members of Russia’s…
