@POTUS bits:

Today, we answered history’s call at this critical inflection point.

With the signing of our national security package, we tell the world that America stands resolutely for democracy and freedom, and against tyranny and oppression. pic.twitter.com/APhOSWWJLN

Today, I am using my clemency power to pardon 11 individuals and commute the sentences of 5 individuals who were convicted of non-violent drug offenses.

These recipients have shown that they deserve forgiveness and the chance at building a brighter future beyond prison walls.

— President Biden (@POTUS) April 24, 2024

While today’s announcement marks important and continued progress, my Administration will continue to review clemency petitions and deliver reforms in a manner that advances equal justice, supports rehabilitation and reentry, and provides meaningful second chances.

Too often, airlines drag their feet on refunds or rip folks off with junk fees.

It's time Americans got a better deal.

Today, my Administration is requiring that airlines provide automatic refunds to passengers when they're owed, and protect them from surprise fees. pic.twitter.com/2nPHxWhkBG

I couldn’t make the trip to Pittsburgh without meeting with some of the best workers in the world – American union workers. pic.twitter.com/AI2hdMPNIZ

Today, I'm announcing a first-ever national goal to transition to a zero-emissions freight sector.

This is about protecting the health of families who live and work near highways, ports, railyards, and other routes today – and building a better freight system for tomorrow.
