Finishing up Dec. 13, Tuesday Bits:

@POTUS Bits

@POTUS tweeted an additional 8 times.

The road to this moment has been long. But those who believed in equality never gave up.

Today is for the Lovings, Edie Windsor and Thea Spyer, the 16 plaintiffs in the Obergefell case, and many others who fought for this.

From me and the entire nation: Thank you.

As Mildred Loving said: previous generations were “bitterly divided over something that should have been so clear and right.”

Today, with the signing of the Respect for Marriage Act, we celebrate our progress.

There are few things as clear and right as marriage equality. pic.twitter.com/lz9WtQqSsi

Marriage is a simple proposition: who do you love? And will you be loyal to the person you love?

It’s not more complicated than that.

The Respect for Marriage Act recognizes that everyone should have the right to answer those questions for themselves.
— President Biden (@POTUS) December 13, 2022

Today is a good day.

Today, America takes another step toward equality. Toward liberty and justice not just for some, but for all.

Because today, I sign the Respect for Marriage Act into law.

Join the First Lady, Vice President Harris, the Second Gentleman, and me as we host a ceremony on the South Lawn to sign the Respect for Marriage Act. https://t.co/xqklzlC3Aw

Americans can see our economic progress while driving down the street, finding relief at the pump as gas prices fall.

As they get ready for holiday celebrations and dinners, food inflation is slowing.

These savings are crucial for so many families.
— President Biden (@POTUS) December 13, 2022

If there is one message that breaks through from today, it's that this law – and the love it defends – strikes a blow against hate in all its forms.

Celebrate with us as I sign the historic Respect for Marriage Act into law. pic.twitter.com/0NFNNCtVVK

This morning, we received another reason to be optimistic going into the new year.

We learned that last month inflation came down more than experts expected – the fifth month in a row that annual inflation has fallen in the United States.

@POTUS Bits:

@POTUS has tweeted

Ten years ago, 26 Newtown families said goodbye to their loved ones for the last time.

20 first-graders and 6 educators died at the hands of a lone gunman.

We still struggle to fathom such loss. But in this darkness, may we find the strength to finish the work left undone.
