In the coming days, the United States will carry out airdrops of aid to Gaza, redouble our efforts to open a maritime corridor, and expand deliveries by land.

The aid flowing into Gaza is nowhere near enough.

We all need to do more. And the United States will do more.

Thanks to my Inflation Reduction Act, the IRS is cracking down on 125,000 high-income tax cheats who haven't filed their taxes since 2017.

Hardworking Americans do the right thing and file every year. The wealthiest Americans ought to do the same. https://t.co/kALGc6v0VH

With major retail pharmacy chains now certified to dispense mifepristone, many women will soon have a new option for accessing prescribed FDA-approved medication abortion.

Right now, Texans are reeling from one of the largest fire events in the state's history.

We'll be with Texas as long as they need us.

Last night, Congress passed a bill preventing a damaging shutdown and allowing more time to work on full-year funding bills.

That’s good news for the American people, but I want to be clear: This is a short-term fix.

Congress must do its job in the days ahead.

Have you ever used a food delivery app to order a meal, but noticed a much higher end price than when you started searching?

This is called “drip pricing” – and it adds up.

My Administration is working to end this practice and other junk fees that rip consumers off. pic.twitter.com/KaVvaYFkdM

In the face of relentless attacks on reproductive freedom by Republican elected officials, Vice President Harris and I will continue to fight to defend the Food and Drug Administration’s independent and evidence-based approval and regulation of mifepristone.

Together with Jordan, the United States airdropped the first package of aid into Gaza today.

The amount of aid flowing to Gaza is not nearly enough and we will continue to pull out every stop we can to get more aid in. https://t.co/K4GHVwpcNL

Fifty-nine years ago, brave Americans sought to cross a bridge named after a Klansman in Selma, Alabama, to reach the other side of justice.

Today and every day, we honor that legacy by fighting to protect the right to vote and uphold the integrity of our elections. pic.twitter.com/IScS5VkFuS

Extreme Republicans on the Hill are promising to get rid of the Affordable Care Act.

That's the law that protects millions of Americans with pre-existing conditions who can't afford to get insurance.

I'm committed to protecting and expanding the ACA – and we’re getting it done.

We need to detect and stop fentanyl from entering the United States.

Our bipartisan border security deal would provide funds for cutting-edge detection machines.

Think of the lives that would save.

In addition to the United States' expansion of aid deliveries by air, land, and sea, we're continuing to push hard for more trucks and routes to get more aid to people.

There are no excuses.

The aid flowing into Gaza is nowhere near enough – and nowhere fast enough.
