It was this image of the former vice president, handing a note of help and speaking patiently to a vet who lives on the streets, that was snapped by passer-by on a cellphone and posted on social media sites. The photo captures a moment that may seem too rare these days, especially in Washington, D.C.: a small, telling, private and unscripted act of kindness.

President Biden Created Clean Energy Jobs: Boosting Biden Day 77
Bidenomics in Action:
Between January 2021 and March 2023, the economy added 21,000 jobs in power generation and supply, reaching its highest level in more than a decade following a prolonged decline in employment in the industry. More than half of these job gains occurred between August 2022 (when the Inflation Reduction Act and the CHIPS and Science Act were signed into law) and March 2023.

These job gains were driven by increased employment in electricity transmission and distribution and increased clean electric power generation. Between January 2021 and March 2023, the economy added 11,000 jobs in electric power transmission and distribution, 8,000 jobs in solar power generation, 2,000 jobs in wind power, and 1,000 jobs in hydroelectric power.

The Inflation Reduction Act will create more than 9 million good jobs over the next decade—an average of nearly 1 million jobs each year.

President Biden on Friday pledged that the United States is “fully committed” to NATO after four years of President Donald Trump railing against the alliance. During a major address to the Munich Security Conference, Biden also warned that “democratic progress is under assault” in many parts of the world, including the United States and Europe.

And he has pushed NATO members to put aside differences to get things done.

Some people face adversity, and succeed — and become vain that they beat something. Not Joe Biden. Not only did Biden learn grit and perseverance from his experience, but he became more empathic and caring. We can see the results in his amazing record so far as President.
