Date Title
01/28/2023 Tweet - "Companies have announced more than $300 billion in manufacturing investments in the United States since I became president. Because when we invest in ourselves, global investors want to get in on it."
01/20/2023 Tweet - "In our first two years, the economy has added over 750,000 new manufacturing jobs. And thanks to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the CHIPS and Science Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act, we're going to keep making more in America."
01/18/2023 Tweet - "My law to help crack down on big corporations who are cheating on their taxes will help level the playing field for our small businesses, which is part of why it has been so disappointing to see House Republicans make protecting wealthy tax cheats their top legislative priority."
01/17/2023 Tweet - "Small businesses are the engines of our economy and the hearts of our communities. Today, we learned that my first two years in office have been the two greatest years for new small business applications on record."
01/14/2023 Tweet - "Our student debt relief plan would allow more than 40 million Americans to breathe easier, getting folks who need it up to $20,000 in relief. Republican officials are standing in the way. This Administration doesn't back down that easy--we're fighting back in the Supreme Court."
01/02/2023 Tweet - "It's 2023. That means the largest, most profitable corporations will have to start paying a 15% minimum tax. The days of the wealthiest companies not paying taxes are over."
12/20/2022 Tweet - "Because of our investments in American manufacturing, companies across the country are expanding and building new factories to make electric vehicle batteries and chargers. The folks responsible for constructing these new factories? World-class, high-skilled Union workers."
12/10/2022 Tweet - "Think about working for 50 years, tracking every dollar and securing your retirement. Then, you lose half of that pension through no fault of your own. That's why we signed the Butch Lewis Act, to protect the union pensions so many sacrificed to secure."
12/09/2022 Tweet - "By including the "Butch-Lewis Act" in the American Rescue Plan, we shored up the pension plans for millions of union workers. It represents the most significant investment in pension security for union workers and retirees in the past 50 years."
12/06/2022 Tweet - "We invented the microchip here, but American manufacturing -- the backbone of our economy -- got hollowed out and companies began to move jobs overseas. Well, now we're sending American-made products overseas made by the best workers in the world."
12/06/2022 Tweet - "We invented the microchip here, but American manufacturing -- the backbone of our economy -- got hollowed out and companies began to move jobs overseas. Well, now we're sending American-made products overseas made by the best workers in the world."
12/01/2022 Tweet - "Republican officials are throwing up roadblocks in order to prevent middle-class families from getting the student debt relief they need. We are taking our case to the Supreme Court. Today, they announced that they'll hear it in February. We will keep fighting."
11/30/2022 Tweet - "Companies in every part of our country are expanding factories and building new ones to make electric vehicle batteries and chargers, which will create thousands of jobs in the process."
11/27/2022 Tweet - "More Americans applied to start new small businesses last year than ever before. We're building an economy from the bottom up and middle out. And it's working."
11/22/2022 Tweet - "I'm confident that our student debt relief plan is legal. But it's on hold because Republican officials want to block it. That's why @SecCardona is extending the payment pause to no later than June 30, 2023, giving the Supreme Court time to hear the case in its current term."
11/19/2022 Tweet - "With the CHIPS and Science Act, we're ensuring more American-made technology, making more microchips at home, and creating tens of thousands of manufacturing jobs. We're leading the manufacturing boom."
11/18/2022 Tweet - "Unfair, hidden fees known as "junk fees" take real money out of the pockets of American families. Things like banking overdraft fees and excessive credit card late fees -- they add up. My Administration is making it clear that they're illegal."
11/13/2022 Tweet - "Historic investments made by this Administration are leading companies to invest hundreds of billions of dollars to build microchip factories and other advanced manufacturing here in America. Those investments will create tens of thousands of good-paying jobs."
11/12/2022 Tweet - "Americans don't want more tax cuts for the super wealthy and biggest corporations. That's why I'm keeping my focus on cost-cutting for working- and middle-class families, and building an economy from the bottom up in the middle out."
11/04/2022 Tweet - "There are 16 million Americans who will have their student debt relief applications approved by the Department of Education by the end of this week. They won't be able to get their relief because Republican officials are standing in the way."
10/28/2022 Tweet - "Let me give you the facts. In 2020, 55 corporations made $40 billion. And they paid zero in federal taxes. My Inflation Reduction Act puts an end to this."
10/26/2022 Tweet - "We're cracking down on hidden "junk" fees like surprise overdraft and deposit fees, credit card late fees, hidden hotel booking fees. Even those termination charges that stop you from switching cable and internet plans to get a better deal. They add up. We're taking action."
10/25/2022 Tweet - "The same Republicans in Congress who received hundreds of thousands -- even millions -- of dollars in pandemic relief are doing everything they can to oppose student loan debt relief for working Americans. I don't want to hear it."
10/25/2022 Tweet - "Republican governors wrote me a letter saying student debt relief only helps the "elite few." Ted Cruz, the great senator from Texas, said it's for slackers who don't deserve relief. Who in the hell do they think they are?"
10/25/2022 Tweet - "If you have student loan debt, you can apply for relief at http://StudentAid.gov. There are no forms to upload and no special log-in to remember. It takes less than five minutes."
