Joe's getting things done in spite of people like Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) who by himself has put a hold on six U.S. attorneys and two U.S. marshals, and, as a consequence, their posts remain vacant during this period of time.
Talk about not supporting law enforcement...........sheeeeeet!
This bullshit allowing 1 person to stop progress needs to be changed.

The Biden administration on Wednesday restored California's authority to set its own tailpipe emission standards for cars and light trucks, reversing a policy put in place by former President Donald Trump.
"Today we proudly reaffirm California's long-standing authority to lead in addressing pollution from cars and trucks," EPA Administrator Michael Regan said. "With today's action, we reinstate an approach that for years has helped advance clean technologies and cut air pollution for people not just in California, but for the U.S. as a whole."
Trump had revoked California's ability to set its own auto pollution standards, a move that also prohibited other states from implementing them.
Because so many vehicles are sold in California, the state has tremendous sway over the industry, as well as over other states in the nation. At least 15 states and the District of Columbia had followed California's lead in adopting tougher vehicle air pollution standards than were in place federally, the Associated Press reported. As of 2019, the transportation sector accounted for 29 percent of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S., the EPA says

Biden was never a big supporter of the police. So please stop lying.
Biden has a long history of supporting police. In the 1990s, his crime bill added almost 100,000 officers to police forces in the US. In 2022 budget, increase of over $300 million for community police. He encourages cities to use America rescue plan funding for police programs.

FACT.
Additionally, in yet another speech recently repeating what he has stated before, he said "it's not about DEfunding the police but, FUNDING the police" (paraphrased; meaning he rejects DEfunding and supports FUNDING more)

In test of leadership, Biden adminstration deserves credit for handling of Russian invasion crisis. US has correctly made the strongest response possible without risking world war III. By depoliticizing the issue, Biden has build a coalition of bipartisan support in congress and NATO. When invasion started, sanctions for Russia and aid for Ukraine are quickly implemented. For future historians, obvious presidential competence demonstrated in crisis management, moral authority, congress relations and foreign relations.

Senate passes $1.5 trillion government funding bill with Ukraine aid
WASHINGTON, (Reuters) The U.S. Senate approved legislation providing $1.5 trillion to fund the federal government through Sept. 30 and to allocate $13.6 billion to aid Ukraine.
The Democrat bill passed in a bipartisan 68-31 vote, one day after the House of Representatives approved the package.
President Joe Biden is expected to sign the bill into law, averting agency shutdowns ahead of the midnight Friday deadline when existing U.S. government funds expire.
"We're keeping our promises to support Ukraine as they fight for their lives against the evil Vladimir Putin," Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said

Vice President Kamala Harris unveiled a series of measures that the Biden administration is taking to reduce air pollution and the greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change. In an event at the White House, where Harris was joined by Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Michael Regan, the administration announced two sets of actions: - investments in low-emission and zero-emission buses for public transit systems and school districts, - and new EPA rules to reduce pollution from trucks.
Positive steps for the future

According to CNN, Biden administration has renewed the "Violence against women act" which lapsed years ago. This legislation protects and supports survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking.

“Our transportation sector has reached a turning point,” “We have the technology to transition to a zero-emission fleet. Our administration is working together, all of us, to make that possibility a reality. We can address the climate crisis and grow our economy at the same time,” Vice-President Harris said.
Under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which President Biden signed last fall, the Department of Transportation will spend $1.1 billion in funding this year to help state and local governments buy U.S.-built electric transit buses and other cleaner models.

Saw this on 60 Minutes Sunday with the Secretary of Transportation discussing the infrastructure plans of Joe's administration.
Thanks for that! Will check it out now. Mayor Pete is a good fit in that cabinet position. Though he would be just as good in any number of other cabinet posts or inside the WH.

Far better than appeasing and enabling Putin while mocking our own security agencies like Trump did.

It's been a GREAT 1st yr for the Joe Biden presidency
After whupping the twice-impeached trump by gaining a record number of votes...
• immediately hit the ground running with "Operation Ludicrous Speed".... got the vaccines [specifically engineered only to combat the then dominant Wuhan-Strain of covid] mass produced, distributed and injected at incredible speed, saving hundreds of thousands of American lives!
• over 55+ Executive orders to reverse harmful policies of the disasterous trump regime
• passing and immediately enacting the *ABSOLUTELY VITAL* American Rescue Plan, to save families, businesses, and the economy from near collapse --- despite the FACT that every republican followed trump's orders and REFUSED to vote for rescuing Americans and their businesses from the very pandemic disaster the republicans allowed to happen.
• restoring American respect and prominence on the world stage nearly eviscerated by trump-regime
• confronting both China and Russia, unlike the previous guy who embraced them
• the only president to *FINALLY* get us out of a devastating and costly "nation-building war" in Afghanistan, first started by the republicans 20 years ago.
• passing and enacting arguably the most profound inrastructure bill in several decades: the *VITAL* American Infrastructure Plan! MAJOR, way overdue needed legislation supported in a *bipartisan* vote by all those who agree trump dropped the ball on that one over 4 long years.
• massive and immediate aid to tornado-victim communites in 5 states (most of them red states) - and he didn't hurl paper-towels at anyone, not even the victims!
• U.S. economy grew 5.7% in 2021 under Biden, fastest full-year clip since 1984, despite ongoing pandemic exacerbated by trump
this is the best first year record of achievements by any US president in history !

I believe Trump loves America but only because of the wealth, largess, and freedom to harm others it enables him.
Trump has and will continue to oppose and bash any who oppose him (Democrats mostly but a lot of Republicans too) by taking up the side of their enemies, even if it means he appears to be a traitor to America.
In his delusional mind, it's all about him.
