"Just because history is silent it does not mean that it did not take place," Biden says. "And while darkness can hide much, it erases nothing." — PolitiTweet.org

"The events we speak of today took place 100 years ago and yet I'm the first president in 100 years to ever come to Tulsa" to acknowledge the massacre on Black people, Biden says. — PolitiTweet.org

Is Biden reconsidering Putin meeting after ransomware attacks w Russian ties? Mtg is not a "reward," @KJP46 says. "We regard it as a vital part of defending America's interests. Pres Biden is meeting with Vladimir Putin because of our countries' differences, not in spite of them" — PolitiTweet.org

"JBS notified the admin that the ransom demand came from a criminal organization likely based in Russia. The WH is engaging with the Russian government on this matter and delivering the message that responsible states do not harbor ransomware criminals," @KJP46 says on AF1. — PolitiTweet.org

"There will be no federal vaccination database and no federal mandate requiring everyone to obtain a single vaccination credential," @kjp46 says. And/but the govt will "be helping" U.S. travelers meet foreign entry requirements. — PolitiTweet.org

As expected, Biden announces his intent to nominate @rufusgifford to be Chief of Protocol, with the rank of Ambassador during his tenure of service, at the State Department. He was a deputy campaign manager for Biden in 2020 and amb to Denmark at the end of the Obama admin. — PolitiTweet.org

Statement from @PressSec on why the administration would not agree to repurposing American Rescue Plan money for infrastructure, as the Capito group has suggested.

Biden: "Along the way, we started seeing the stock market and corporate profits and executive pay as the sole measure of our economic success. Let me tell you something: my sole measure of economic success is how working families are doing, whether they have jobs" and dignity. — PolitiTweet.org

"We must restore the connection between the success of our economy and the people who produce that success, hardworking Americans. That connection has been severed," Biden says. "By the way, I'm a capitalist." — PolitiTweet.org

@TriCedu Biden on the first four months of his presidency: "Covid cases are down, deaths are down, unemployment filings are down, hunger is down. Vaccinations are up, jobs, real growth is up, people getting health coverage is up, small business confidence is up." — PolitiTweet.org

At Cleveland's @tricedu, Biden recalls plans to speak there on the night of 3/10/20, when Gov. DeWine canceled all large events. Biden says he made the right decision & "14 months later, we finally made it to campus. After a year of darkness, we're now emerging in the light." https://t.co/GuvJ9QLWv9 — PolitiTweet.org

Jennifer Epstein @jeneps

@PressSec The administration's broader argument is that even if covid relief money hasn't yet gone out the door to state and local govts, school districts, etc., those entities are already planning how they're going to use it. Plus GOP chart suggested not distributing child tax credit. — PolitiTweet.org

Jennifer Epstein @jeneps

Aboard AF1, @presssec responds to Capito group saying covid money should be repurposed for infrastructure: "We think there are better ways to pay for it." She says 95% of the money is already allocated and the rest is also going to Biden priorities. — PolitiTweet.org

Biden while boarding Air Force One says he hasn't had a chance to go over the GOP counter offer but expects to meet with them again next week. Spoke to Capito and told her have to finish this soon. "We're going to have to close this down soon," he says. — PolitiTweet.org

Jennifer Epstein @jeneps

Senate GOP to Biden: “your most recent offer leaves us far apart and, coupled with your Memorial Day deadline, leaves little time to close the gap. However, proceeding with reconciliation would undermine the good work we have done, and can continue to do, in a bipartisan manner.” https://t.co/GIdod60Aiw — PolitiTweet.org
