Date	Title	Politician
Jan. 27, 2023	Tweet - "This International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we honor and reflect on the memories of the six million Jews and many others who were murdered.

Jan. 26, 2023	Tweet - "Last year, Americans were paying up to $200 in some cases to get shots like the shingles vaccine. As of this month: for seniors with Medicare prescription drug coverage, these shots will drop to zero. Zero."	Pres. Joe Biden
Jan. 26, 2023	Tweet - "When I signed the first significant piece of gun safety legislation in decades, I said there was still work to be done to keep dangerous firearms out of dangerous hands. And in the short time since then, communities across America have been struck by tragedy after tragedy."	Pres. Joe Biden
Jan. 26, 2023	Tweet - "Last quarter, our economy grew at a 2.9% annual pace -- solid growth, even as we continue to bring inflation down. Our economic plan worked. And it still is."	Pres. Joe Biden
