Black History Month is a powerful reminder that Black history is American history, Black culture is American culture, and Black stories are the ongoing story of America.

During Black History Month, we celebrate the legacy of Black Americans whose power to lead, overcome, and expand democracy has helped our nation become a more fair and just society. I'll never stop fighting to move us closer to the simple idea that all of us are created equal.

The infrastructure law I signed is the single most significant investment in American rail since Amtrak was created 50 years ago.

We’re working to make sure that every community, urban and rural, has access to affordable high-speed internet.

We’ve come too far to let MAGA Republicans cut Social Security, cut taxes for billionaires, or impose a 30% national sales tax. If any of these bills somehow pass, I will veto them.

We passed the American Rescue Plan without a single vote from Republicans in Congress. We gave states and local governments money to keep firefighters in the fire hall, first responders on the job, teachers in the classroom, and nurses in the clinics and hospitals.

I've said it many times: Wall Street did not build America, the middle class built America, and unions built the middle class.

Over the last two years, more Americans applied to start a small business than any two years on record.

Wages are up. Over the past six months, annual inflation has gone down every month. Manufacturing jobs continue to develop stronger than at any time in the last 40 years. All evidence that our economic plan is working.

We’ve made record-breaking progress in expanding coverage and lowering health care costs for American families, saving them money and giving more Americans the peace of mind that comes with affordable health insurance.

You paid for your Social Security. Every single paycheck from the time you started working. If Republicans try to cut it, I will veto it.

In the 10 years that the assault weapons ban was on the books, mass shootings went down. The American people agree: Congress should send this ban to my desk.

My heart goes out to Tyre Nichols’ family and to Americans in Memphis and across the country who are grieving this tremendously painful loss. There are no words to describe the heartbreak and grief of losing a beloved child and young father. Here's my full statement.

This ain’t your father’s Republican Party. They want to cut taxes for billionaires. They want to impose a 30% national sales tax. And they want to cut Social Security and Medicare.

We're making corporations and the super-wealthy start to pay their fair share in taxes. It's about rewarding work, not wealth.

Today, Jill and I pause to mourn the lives of those murdered during the Holocaust. We’ll continue to face down the hate and lies that carry terrifying echoes of one of the worst chapters in our history. And for generations to come, we will defend dignity for all human beings.

There can be no greater responsibility than to ensure the safety of our children and our communities. I urge Congress to act quickly and deliver the assault weapons ban to my desk. The majority of the American people agree with this common sense action.

Today we learned our economy grew at a 2.9% annual pace last quarter—solid growth, even as we continue to bring inflation down. Our economic plan is working.

House Republicans are starting the new term introducing bills that would: —Help wealthy tax cheats —Hike taxes on working families with a national sales tax —Block actions to help lower prices at the pump We can do better than that.

A 26-year-old hero by the name of Brandon Tsay is responsible for disarming a gunman in Monterey Park, California – an act of incredible courage in the face of danger. I called him to offer him my – and America's – profound thanks and respect.

We're helping rebuild our economy with jobs that don't require a four-year degree—promoting an economy that works for middle-class and working-class Americans.

If Republicans try to cut Social Security or Medicare, I will use my veto pen to stop it.

We're making the biggest investment ever in climate thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act, creating millions of good-paying jobs and investing in communities that have suffered the most as a consequence of being smothered by pollution.

With unemployment at a record low and the two strongest years of job creation in our history, there are reasons for economic optimism all across our country.

Last year, nearly 7,000 projects were identified and are underway with funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. By the end of this year, that’ll be around 20,000.

No one should have to drive to a fast-food parking lot to connect to the internet. Thanks to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, we're helping ensure every community can access affordable, high-speed internet.

Folks, House Republicans have proposed a new national sales tax on American families, which would increase the price of everything from groceries and gas to food and medicine. Working families deserve better.

Starting this month, thanks to my economic agenda passed over the last two years, there will be lower prescription costs for our seniors, tax breaks for lower energy bills, stronger supply chains, and more good jobs that Americans can raise a family on.

Jill and I are praying for those killed and injured in last night’s deadly mass shooting in Monterey Park. I’m monitoring this situation closely as it develops, and urge the community to follow guidance from local officials and law enforcement in the hours ahead.

Today should've been the 50th Anniversary of Roe v. Wade. Instead, MAGA Republican officials are waging a war on women's right to make their own health care decisions. But this fight isn't over.
