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.

Statement from President Joe Biden on January PCE Report

Politics

Today’s report shows we have made progress on inflation, but we have more work to do. Annual inflation in January is down from the summer, while the unemployment rate has remained at or near a 50-year low and take-home pay has gone up. We’ve also continued to make progress since the data in this report, with gas prices down again – now more than $1.60 since last summer’s peak after Putin’s unconscionable invasion. As I’ve long said, there may be setbacks along the way, but we face global economic challenges from a position of strength. And I will not allow…

Remarks as Prepared for Delivery by First Lady Jill Biden at the Namibia University of Science and Technology

Politics

Windhoek, Namibia I’m here today because you are the keepers of democracy. As the first generation to be born into a free Namibia, the legacy that your parents and grandparents created is now yours—yours to defend and protect. Yours to grow. And as we look forward, we must remember that the fight for democracy has no end. As time passes and challenges arise, it’s easy to quietly slip into the waking-sleep of cynicism and apathy. It’s so much harder to bring millions of people together and find consensus. And so, we must build on the foundation of democracy by lifting up those voices…
