In #SOTU, President Biden is to say there's "a record number of personnel working to secure the border."
"Two years ago democracy faced its greatest threat since the Civil War," says President Biden in #SOTU address. "Today, though bruised, our democracy remains unbowed and unbroken."
"Fighting for the sake of fighting, power for the sake of power, conflict for the sake of conflict, gets us nowhere," says Biden. #SOTU
"Inflation has been a global problem because of pandemic disrupted supply chains and Putin’s unfair and brutal war in Ukraine disrupted energy and food supplies. But we’re better positioned than any country on Earth. We have more to do, but here at home, inflation is coming down," says Biden in #SOTU.
Biden in #SOTU: "Tonight I’m announcing new standards to require all construction materials used in federal infrastructure projects to be made in America.. lumber, glass, drywall, fiber optic cable."
"Too many people have been left behind or treated like they’re invisible. Maybe that’s you, watching at home," says Biden in #SOTU. "I get that. That's why we're building an economy where no one's left behind."
"Some members here are threatening...to repeal the Inflation Reduction Act," says Biden in #SOTU. "Make no mistake, if you try anything to raise the cost of prescription drugs, I will veto it."
"Big Oil just reported record profits. Last year, they made $200 billion in the midst of a global energy crisis. I think it's outrageous," says Biden during #SOTU.
"No president added more to the national debt in any four years than my predecessor," says Biden in #SOTU.
"Some of my Republican friends want to take the economy hostage....unless I agree to their economic plans. All of you at home should know what their plans are," says Biden in #SOTU.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green, from the back of the chamber, shouts "liar" after President Biden says Republicans want to cut Medicare and Social Security.
"Baggage fees are bad enough - airlines can’t treat your child like a piece of luggage," says Biden. "Americans are tired of being played for suckers."
Biden in #SOTUS claims cashiers at "burger places" have to sign non-compete clauses. That generates some verbal skepticism from the Republican side of aisle.
