Dear Americans

Not a single news outlet aired President Biden's event at the White House just now where he announced over $40 BILLION in investments to expand broadband across America. Thank you, President Biden!

When will President Biden get the coverage & credit he deserves? This is why our media fails all of us.

@skykiss Also without fanfare, President Biden got the railway workers the sick leave he promised. https://www.ibew.org/media-center/Articles/23Daily/2306/230620_IBEWandPaid

@nomdeb @skykiss for the sake of context… Biden taking away railroaders’ right to strike was a blow to rail labor that will be felt for at least a generation. How do you think future contract negotiations between railroads and unions will go now that railroads know that even the so-called “most pro-labor president ever” won’t let the unions strike? That was a mistake that keeps me up at night.

@OGjester @nomdeb @skykiss So... they really chose that they prefer work-to-rule instead of strikes?
