Iowa Supreme Court/Roe v. Wade Tweets
From Friday…
Today, the Iowa Supreme Court ruled that the state’s extreme abortion ban can go into effect.
— President Biden (@POTUS) June 28, 2024
That means Iowa is now the twenty-second state with an abortion ban imposed by Republican elected officials, putting women’s lives in jeopardy.
This should never happen in America. pic.twitter.com/Ap3Zron3fg
Statement from President Joe Biden on Iowa’s Abortion Ban
Today, the Iowa Supreme Court ruled that the state’s extreme and dangerous abortion ban can go into effect. Iowa is the twenty-second state with an abortion ban, imposed by Republican elected officials, that puts women’s health and lives in jeopardy.
This should never happen in America. Yet, this is exactly what is happening in states across the country since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. And it’s not stopping at the state level – Republican elected officials in Congress have proposed four national abortion bans while refusing to protect nationwide access to IVF and contraception.
Vice President Harris and I believe that women in every state must have the right to make deeply personal decisions about their health. We will continue to call on Congress to restore the protections of Roe v. Wade in federal law and stand firm against efforts made by Republican elected officials to undermine Americans’ fundamental freedoms.
Statement from President Joe Biden on Iowa’s Abortion Ban. 06/28/2024.
Hello, all. It’s now Monday and the Supreme’s weren’t so Supreme; I’m gonna blaze through the rest of the tweets and we will be back on track for tomorrow…

Student Debt Relief Tweets
From Sunday…
One path closed that day, but I promised you that my Administration would use every tool at our disposal to relieve the burden of student loan debt so it doesn’t keep you from reaching your dreams.
— President Biden (@POTUS) June 30, 2024
⁰Since then, we've approved debt relief for 4.75million Americans through…
No matter how many times Republican elected officials try to block me, my Administration isn't backing down.
— President Biden (@POTUS) June 30, 2024
Higher education is a ticket to a brighter future. I'm fighting to ensure every American can finally afford that ticket.
Freeing hardworking Americans from the crushing burden of student debt means millions would finally have the confidence to buy their first home, open a business, or start a family.
— President Biden (@POTUS) June 30, 2024
Debt relief is about dignity. But it’s good for our economy, too.
Republican elected officials who fought to block my original student debt relief plan couldn't help a family making $75,000 a year get relief on their student debt, but took hundreds of thousands of dollars in relief for their own small businesses.

Overtime Protections Tweet
From Monday…
Today, my Administration is extending overtime protections to 1 million workers making under $43,888. And next year, we extend protections to 3 million more workers by increasing the threshold to $58,656.
— President Biden (@POTUS) July 1, 2024
That means higher paychecks or more family time for millions of workers.
Statement from President Joe Biden on Extending Overtime to Millions of Workers
A hard day’s work should lead to a fair day’s pay. Today, we are extending overtime protections to 1 million workers making less than $43,888 a year. And next year, we will extend protections to another 3 million workers by increasing the overtime threshold to $58,656. That means higher paychecks and more time with family for millions of Americans. While Republicans side with big corporations and special interests on Park Avenue to try to deny workers these protections, I will always side with hardworking families like the ones I grew up with in Scranton.
Statement from President Joe Biden on Extending Overtime to Millions of Workers. 07/01/2024.
There will be no “new” from the White House today; see you tomorrow.
