American adversaries “look at the images of the mob that assaulted this Capitol as proof that the sun is setting on American democracy. They are wrong. And we have to prove they are wrong.” - @POTUS — PolitiTweet.org

“The insurrection was an existential crisis—a test of whether our democracy could survive. It did,” @POTUS says. “But the struggle is far from over. The question of whether our democracy  will long endure is both ancient and urgent.” #JointAddress — PolitiTweet.org

“And if we are to truly restore the soul of America – we need to protect the sacred right to vote. More people voted in the last presidential election than at anytime in our history – in the middle of one of the worst pandemics ever.” - @POTUS — PolitiTweet.org

“Let’s end our exhausting war over immigration. For more than 30 years, politicians have talked about immigration reform and we’ve done nothing about it. It’s time to fix it.” - @POTUS #JointSession — PolitiTweet.org

@potus Biden on gun reforms: “This shouldn’t be a Red vs. Blue issue. And no amendment in the Constitution is absolute.” — PolitiTweet.org

“To all the transgender Americans watching at home – especially the young people who are so brave – I want you to know that your president has your back.” - @POTUS — PolitiTweet.org

In calling for passage of police reform, @potus says: “Let’s get it done next month, by the first anniversary of George Floyd’s death. The country supports this reform. Congress should act.” — PolitiTweet.org

The turn to global leadership/foreign policy: “My fellow Americans, we have to show not just that we are back, but that we are here to stay.   And that we aren’t going it alone – we’re going to be doing it with our allies.” #JointAddress — PolitiTweet.org

Ed O'Keefe @edokeefe

@POTUS knocks the Trump-era tax cuts, saying they were “supposed to pay for itself ... and generate vast economic growth. Instead, it added $2 trillion to the deficit. It was a huge windfall for corporate America and those at the very top.” #JointSession — PolitiTweet.org

Ed O'Keefe @edokeefe

How will @potus pay for this? “I will not impose any tax increases on people making less than $400,000. It’s time for corporate America and the wealthiest 1% of Americans to pay their fair share.” — PolitiTweet.org

Ed O'Keefe @edokeefe

Biden calls on public education to begin at age 3: “We add two years of universal high-quality pre-school for every 3- and 4- year-old in America.” Cites research that the sooner a young kid goes to school - not daycare - they are far more likely to graduate” from HS and college. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed O'Keefe @edokeefe

Big bold Biden idea: “When this nation made 12 years of public education universal in the last century, it made us the best-educated and best-prepared nation in the world. But the world is catching up. They are not waiting. 12 years is no longer enough.” (1/) — PolitiTweet.org

A good sign of differing presidential priorities and changing times: Obama often name-checked the fight on cancer as a quick clause in a long sentence — one of many lesser priorities. @POTUS Biden puts a personal concern huger up in his #JointAddress — PolitiTweet.org

Ed O'Keefe @edokeefe

Calling for boosted federal funding to research and fight disease, @potus Biden says: “This is personal to so many of us. I can think of no more worthy investment. And I know of nothing that is more bipartisan. Let’s end cancer as we know it. It’s within our power.” #JointSession — PolitiTweet.org

Ed O'Keefe @edokeefe

As he touts his new infrastructure proposals, he also calls for legislation protecting organized labor, designed to equalize men and women’s pay and boosting the federal minimum wage to $15/hour. #JointAddress — PolitiTweet.org

“The American Jobs Plan is a blue-collar blueprint to build America.” - @POTUS #JointSession — PolitiTweet.org

Ed O'Keefe @edokeefe

“For too long we’ve failed to use the most important word when it comes to meeting the climate crisis: Jobs. Jobs. Jobs.” @potus says. “When I think of climate change, I think of jobs.” #JointSession — PolitiTweet.org

Ed O'Keefe @edokeefe

@potus says his American Jobs Plan is the largest jobs plan proposed since World War II. Touts how rebuilding pipes, expanding the Internet will create hundreds of thousands of new jobs. #JointAddress — PolitiTweet.org

Ed O'Keefe @edokeefe

The @POTUS says he’s been struck by images of “Cars lined up for miles. .... nice cars. .... waiting for a box of food to be put in their trunk. I don’t know about you, but I never thought we’d see that in America.” He made a similar point in meeting to TV anchors earlier today. — PolitiTweet.org
