One of the first things I did in office was protect the pensions of millions of union workers and retirees when I signed the Butch Lewis Act.
— President Biden (@POTUS) September 9, 2024
For those who saw benefit cuts, we’re not only restoring their pension – we're getting them their back pay.
We’re making them whole. pic.twitter.com/WsdWQ7i2y9

Good job standards produce more opportunities and better outcomes for workers, the middle class, and for businesses as well.

Remarks by President Biden on the Investing in America Agenda | Ann Arbor, MI; the YouTube is 35 minutes 14 seconds long.
The ideas are co- — are just pai- — common sense. Economists have long believed that these good-job standards produce more opportunities and better outcomes for workers and more predictable outcomes for businesses as well. It turned out to be a win-win situation for everyone, including business.

From Tuesday…
“Buy American” has been the law of the land since the 1930s.
— President Biden (@POTUS) September 10, 2024
It says that funding the government is authorized to spend on a project must go toward hiring American workers and using American products.
Past administrations haven't taken that seriously.
We are. pic.twitter.com/hy1xZ4W33W

Congratulations to @TeamUSA Men's Wheelchair Basketball – the first men's team to ever win three straight Paralympic gold medals. A shining example of the possibilities of our nation. https://t.co/MUs8Sy8QWP

For more than 61 million Americans living with a disability, the ADA and laws like it are a source of opportunity, respect, dignity, and pride.
— President Biden (@POTUS) September 10, 2024
A bulwark against discrimination.
A path to personal independence.
And for our nation: a testament to our character.
In this White House, we celebrate disability pride.
— President Biden (@POTUS) September 10, 2024
And that’s what everyone who joined me today on the South Lawn embodies.
Thank you for the work you’re doing to ensure the promise of America can be delivered to all Americans. pic.twitter.com/QbamV7IK52

ACA Enrollment Tweet
From Tuesday…
Today, we made history.
— President Biden (@POTUS) September 10, 2024
In the nearly 15 years since Barack and I made the Affordable Care Act law, 50 million people have enrolled in health care through the ACA Marketplace.
Let’s keep fighting to give millions more the peace of mind they deserve. pic.twitter.com/TamkcjpwlW
From the White House…
09/10/2024:
Today, a new report shows that nearly 50 million people have had coverage in the Affordable Care Act Marketplace over the past decade. That’s 1 in 7 Americans who have benefited from the peace of mind that comes with knowing if an illness strikes or an accident occurs, they can get the care they need. It’s a really big deal – and yet Republicans in Congress remain committed to taking us backward by repealing the Affordable Care Act.
The Affordable Care Act is more popular than ever, and Affordable Care Act coverage is more affordable than ever. That’s because Vice President Harris and I have worked tirelessly to protect and build on the ACA. We lowered costs for ACA coverage by an average of $800 per year for millions of Americans, invested in outreach and in-person assistance to help people get the coverage that is right for them, and eliminated red tape. As a result, more Americans have signed up for health care coverage through the Affordable Care Act Marketplace than ever before.
We are not stopping now. The Vice President and I will keep fighting to make health care more affordable for all Americans, and we will always stand up to attempts by Republicans in Congress to roll back access to health care. Congressional Republicans have voted more than 50 times to repeal the Affordable Care Act, which would take health care away from tens of millions of Americans, threaten coverage for more than 100 million with pre-existing conditions, increase health care and prescription costs for families, and so much more. We know Republican officials will stop at nothing to get rid of the Affordable Care Act, ripping health coverage away from Americans in every part of our country. While they try to take us backward, we’ll keep fighting for the future.
