For Manufacturers, #Bidenomics Tops #MAGA-nomics Every Time
The evidence is mounting that tax incentives are better than tariffs as a way to protect and spur US industrial investment.
“Joe #Biden has laid it on the line, asking voters to make a head-to-head comparison between him and Donald #Trump. Who, the President asked, has been more successful at bringing manufacturing jobs back to America?
#Biden, #Trump square off for #Michigan’s #working-class #voters

Trump to speak Wednesday at non-union Macomb Co. automotive parts manufacturer
Former President Donald Trump on Wednesday is set to deliver remarks at Drake Enterprises, an automotive parts manufacturer and supplier in Clinton Township in Macomb County, according to an announcement from Trump’s campaign.
The former president’s visit to the facility will follow President Joe Biden’s Tuesday visit to join striking United Auto Workers (UAW) union members on the picket line.

Las guerras están expuestas a todo tipo de vuelcos inesperados, pero en su actual fase la derrota militar de Ucrania es cada vez más clara.

Tomorrow Joe Biden will make history as the first to ever U.S. President to join picketers on their line. He will be walking with the United Auto Workers (UAW) union in Michigan.
This shows that his support for strikers goes beyond symbolism and political talk.
Vote for Democrats. Always.

#Trump thinks #Biden is going to be blamed for the #shutdown. No, he won't. This shutdown is all due to #GOP #dysfunction. If those hacks had any capability of doing their job, we wouldn't be in this mess. #Republicans are a total #clownshow.
Via Kyle Griffin:
Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre confirms President #Biden will join the #UAW picket line in Michigan — not just visit it.
"He is standing with the autoworkers." #UnionStrong 💪🏼
I can't believe anyone was worried about #DeSantis possibly winning the #Republican nomination.
His team cant even figure out that debating *anyone* except #Trump or President #Biden only makes him look small, unimportant, and worst of all:
not at the presidential level.
“that for congressional Republicans, the Constitution that they have sworn to support and defend—and the structure for American democracy it established some twenty-three decades ago—has come to mean nothing.”

Kim Wehle points out that the same Republicans who worked to undermine the impeachment of Donald Trump for valid reasons now want to impeach President Biden on bogus grounds. She writes,
“We must all keep our eyes on the big picture, and see clearly what these impeachment proceedings against Biden mean:”

@newsopinionsandviews No, #Trump is old too, just 3.5 years behind #Biden. And Trump is the one getting confused about WW2, running against Obama, walking down ramps, drinking water. It would be crazy not to mention that.
Emphasis added to "most", because it is that which leaves the pro-equitable faction nearly toothless. But #Biden has the chance to pull in the large swath of #WorkingClass that have been alienated from the #DemocraticParty during the last 4-5 decades.
#Biden is launching a program to employ 20'000 young adult Americans to work on #climatedefense and #fireprevention, but he will skip a #UnitedNations summit aimed to address the #climatecrisis.

Sondaj ABC News/📰#WashingtonPost: #Trump îl devansează pe #Biden cu 51 la 42, într-o posibilă confruntare față în față
“President #Biden is doing what he has always done, which is to stand w/ #American #workers,” #Transportation Secy Pete #Buttigieg told CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday. Defending the president’s decision to visit, Buttigieg added that a strong deal would be a “win-win” for both parties: “Record #profits should lead to record #pay & record #benefits for the workers.”
The #strike escalation, which spared Ford, added another 5,600 #workers to the work stoppage for a total of 18,300 — about 12% of the #union’s autoworker members.
#Biden’s #Michigan visit — which #labor experts say is probably the first time a sitting president has visited a #strike in at least 100 years — will come a day before his expected rival in the 2024 presidential race, #Trump, plans to deliver his own speech to hundreds of union members in Michigan.
As strikes against the #BigThree #Detroit #automakers enter their 10th day, #Democrats are praising a visit by President #Biden to #Michigan, scheduled for Tues, to show support for #autoworkers on the picket lines.
The WH announced the news Fri, as #UAW members walked out of 38 parts warehouses & distribution centers for #GM & #Stellantis in 20 states.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2023/09/24/uaw-strike-updates-biden/
If America is actually dumb enough to put #trump back in office over #Biden, it will deserve everything it gets. And none of it is good.

Wonderful news from @pluralistic
"NLRB rules that any union busting means automatic union recognition"
I don't remember the decision getting much attention when it happened.
Holy shit that is such a badass move by #Biden. 😂
"I remember when I was young. We have something in common: I got elected to the Senate when I was 29 years old. Only difference was he was eligible when he got elected to take office; I had to wait 17 days to be eligible. That was 827 years ago." — President #Biden recognizing Congressman Maxwell Frost
"Because of all of you here today — all across the country — survivors, families, advocates, especially young people who demand our nation do better to protect all, who protested, organized, voted, and ran for office, and yes, marched for their lives, I'm proud to announce the creation of the first ever White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention [...] After every mass shooting we hear a simple message: Do something. Please do something."
"I've long said, when I think #climate—not a joke—I think jobs." – President #JoeBiden
That lack of insight into and appreciation of the literal #existential threat to #humans of our ongoing and worsening #ClimateChange disaster is a clear indication that #Biden is too removed from reality.
"It's humanity, stupid."
The Everything, Everywhere, All at Once strategy can't work if key solutions are #monopolized.
It’s amazing and wonderful to see an American president supporting striking #UAW union workers!
President Joe #Biden will travel to #Michigan to join the picket line of auto workers on strike nationwide, he said on Friday afternoon.

"On Tuesday, Donald Trump told an audience that he beat Barack Obama in the 2016 election and Joe Biden is so incompetent he is likely to start 'World War Two.'
Trump's mental lapses garnered scant notice in major media outlets. CNN called the disconnects from reality 'gaffes,' saying that Trump 'misspoke.'”
Once again: the mainstream media are a major problem for US democracy today, and bear huge responsibility for Trump's continuing appeal to many of us.
"When President Biden was on a five-day whirlwind world tour earlier this month, the media jumped down his throat when he appeared to be 'tired' and 'jet-lagged' during a press conference in Vietnam. The journalists posing as amateur neurologists pronounced Biden 'too old' to be president."

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will travel to Washington Thursday to make a renewed pitch for American aid to support his country's ongoing fight against Russia, as a new round of funding is in limbo ahead of a looming government shutdown.
NPR reports: https://flip.it/mql3Pg
Free COVID-19 tests will be offered again to all U.S. households.
STAT reports that Washington is "providing a fifth round of free tests in part to meet current needs, in part to stimulate a domestic testing industry that has struggled with cratering demand for the rapid diagnostics."
Saying that they're impeaching #Biden 'without evidence' implies that there are credible allegations that haven't been proven. But this is all grounded in the lie that Viktor Shokin was investigating Burisma and that Biden pushed for his ouster for personal reasons rather than bc he was corrupt AF.
Two takes on the new Climate Corps that Biden announced to train people for the work that needs to be done to achieve decarbonization.
