Remarks by President Biden Announcing the Fiscal Year 2023 Budget
MARCH 28, 2022
“Last year, we cut the deficit by more than $350 billion.
This year we’re on track to cut the deficit by more than 1 trillion 300 billion dollars. One trillion three hundred billion dollars. That would be the largest one-year reduction in the deficit in U.S. history.
And here’s how we’re achieving it — this record deficit reduction:
First, we’re growing the economy. We have created a record 6.7 million jobs since I took office. And we have generated a GDP growth of 5.7 percent, the best economic growth we’ve seen in this country in over 40 years. This has led to a substantial increase in government revenues and dramatically improved our fiscal situation.
Secondly, this record economic and job growth has made it possible for us to responsibly and significantly cut back on emergency spending.”

President Biden’s Plan to Respond to Putin’s Price Hike at the Pump
MARCH 31, 2022
“Since Putin accelerated his military build-up around Ukraine, gas prices have increased by nearly a dollar per gallon. Because of Putin’s war of choice, less oil is getting to market, and the reduction in supply is raising prices at the pump for Americans. President Biden is committed to doing everything in his power to help American families who are paying more out of pocket as a result. That is why today, President Biden will announce a two-part plan to ease the pain that families are feeling by increasing the supply of oil starting immediately and achieving lasting American energy independence that reduces demand for oil and bolsters our clean energy economy.”

Letter from the President on the Implementation of the Global Fragility Act
APRIL 01, 2022
“The world stands today at the dawn of a decisive decade — a moment of consequence and peril,
of profound pain and extraordinary possibility. Perhaps now more than ever, we have seen how the most urgent challenges of our time do not confine themselves within national borders. A global pandemic that has claimed more than six million lives. A climate crisis that threatens the future of every continent. An emboldening of autocrats who believe that democracy and multilateralism cannot deliver in the 21st century. These tests, and more, are among the sternest that the world has ever faced.
It is against this backdrop — at this inflection point in history — that America must lead.”
Transcript of Speaker Pelosi’s Remarks at Weekly Press Conference
(excerpt)
“But to hear the stories of the children – you know, the children are my reason to be here.
When some of these parents are killed by the Russians, the children are sent to Russia. How about that?
And I think we should get more evidence and documentation about that crime against humanity that the Russians are committing to the children – in some cases with a parent, in some cases not.”
By trashing Jackson, the GOP magnified a right-wing court’s legitimacy problem
“Beginning with the blockade of Merrick Garland’s nomination in 2016
and culminating in the rushed confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett just days before the 2020 election, Republicans have sent the message that not the law, not deliberation, but partisan manipulation is at the heart of the court’s decision-making.
The court’s conservative justices have reinforced this view with rulings on voting rights, gerrymanders
and campaign finance that are tilted to the benefit of Republicans, moneyed interests and voter suppression.
If the six-justice majority continues with its habits of overreach, precedent-breaking and indifference to the will
of Congress, it will only harden the view that it is exercising arbitrary authority on behalf of a predetermined agenda.”

By trashing Jackson, the GOP magnified a right-wing court’s legitimacy problem
“Beginning with the blockade of Merrick Garland’s nomination in 2016
and culminating in the rushed confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett just days before the 2020 election, Republicans have sent the message that not the law, not deliberation, but partisan manipulation is at the heart of the court’s decision-making.
The court’s conservative justices have reinforced this view with rulings on voting rights, gerrymanders
and campaign finance that are tilted to the benefit of Republicans, moneyed interests and voter suppression.
If the six-justice majority continues with its habits of overreach, precedent-breaking and indifference to the will
of Congress, it will only harden the view that it is exercising arbitrary authority on behalf of a predetermined agenda.”

The Biggest Lie About Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” Bill Erases One Crucial Word
A close reading shows how the measure’s supporters obscure the sweeping scope of its censorship.
“In the week since Florida lawmakers passed H.B. 1557, dubbed the “don’t say gay” bill, the law’s most prominent supporters have refused to publicly tell the truth about what the measure actually says.”
Mark Joseph Stern:
(https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2022/03/florida-dont-say-gay-censorship-republican-lies.html)
“Lately, the Republican Party seems emboldened to make all kinds of rank, old-school bigoted comments about LGBTQ people.” Chris Hayes and Mark Joseph Stern (Slate) discussed the rise of homophobic,
