Statement from President Joe Biden on the 50th Anniversary of the All-Volunteer Force

Politics
Fifty years ago today, the military draft ended—creating the All-Volunteer Force. On this historic anniversary, we recognize all the brave women and men who have raised their hand to serve. And together, we recommit to sustaining and strengthening our force for decades to come—including by demonstrating our support for our service members and our veterans, as well as their families, caregivers, and survivors. The success of the All-Volunteer Force was not inevitable. Fifty years ago, there were questions as to whether we could attract the talent our military needed, or whether Americans would answer the call to serve. But today,…

Day 490: Kremlin Turmoil Ensues

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 by Vice President Harris on the Supreme Court’s ruling in Nebraska v. Biden

Politics
All Americans deserve the opportunity to pursue a college education without the burden of crushing student loan debt. That is why our Administration took action to provide a lifeline to tens of millions of borrowers. Nearly 90% of the people who would have benefitted make less than $75,000 per year. At every turn, Republican officials at the state level and in Congress tried to block our plan. Today, the Supreme Court sided with them.  Reducing student loan debt and securing relief for families has been a priority throughout my career and a pillar of our Administration. As California Attorney General, I took on predatory…

Statement by Vice President Harris on Supreme Court’s Ruling In 303 Creative v. Elenis

Politics
All people deserve to live free from discrimination. When you walk into a restaurant, a hotel, or any business open to the public, you are entitled to be served free from discrimination. For years, our nation’s civil rights laws have helped to make that ideal more real. The Supreme Court’s ruling in 303 Creative v. Elenis departs from decades of jurisprudence by creating an exception to protections against discrimination in public accommodations. On the last day of Pride Month, the Supreme Court has paved the way for businesses across our nation to discriminate in the name of “free expression”—against the…
