The Biden Presidency: Repairing America.....again

POLL: "Do you favor establishing strict limits on the release of methane in the production of natural gas?"

•   62% favored Biden's proposal,
•    while just 35% opposed doing so.

Food drug administration proposes ban on menthol cigarettes and flavored cigars.  In general, smoking causes over 480,000 deaths per year in the US, including over 41,000 deaths from secondhand smoke.  A ban could prevent over 650,000 premature deaths over the next 40 years.  Many countries and states already have menthol cigarette bans in place.

Small step forward, but it is a step forward. 

A record 35 million-plus Americans

(CNN) More Americans than ever before have health coverage
thanks to the Affordable Care Act, which is helping send the

The uninsured rate fell to 8.8% in the fourth quarter of last year.

"With a record-breaking total of over 35 million people who
now have health coverage, thanks to the Affordable Care Act,
America's uninsured rate is nearing an all-time low,"
Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra stated.

Climate change = depopulation.

part 6 of 6 ...

The average price of a new electric vehicle is $56,437,
roughly $10,000 higher than that of a new gasoline-powered car,
according to Kelley Blue Book.
To help close this gap, the Biden administration has proposed
offering tax credits to those who opt for an EV, which does not
emit greenhouse gases that cause climate change.

Asked in the Gallup poll about that idea of providing
" tax credits to individuals who purchase electric vehicles,"

•   61% said they favored Biden's plan for tax credits,
•    while just 38% said they opposed it.

Homeland security department announces long overdue Disinformation governance board to counter misinformation threatening national security.  Whether in climate change, Russian election interference, domestic terrorism, illegal migration or pandemic.  For examples, World health organization considers anti-vaccine movement one of the top global health threats causing preventable deaths.  Trump's lie about stolen election lead to capital riot.  Human smugglers profit by misrepresenting US-Mexico border as open.  Fossil fuel industry campaigns against government actions to fight climate change.  Misinformation manipulates public opinion, weakens people trust in institutions and damages cohesion in society.

Not too sure how much an effect this will have ultimately especially if private ownership of medias permit it to happen, but the need is certainly clear to those who do not support fascism.

"This is the first time a President has attended this dinner in 6 years.

 But it's understandable.  First we had a plague, and then we had covid"

this should get majority bipartisan support all over the country

Should.  

But likely won't.

Adolf Hitler had a Ministry of Truth.

Joseph Goebbels had a Ministry of Truth.

Joseph Stalin had a Ministry of Truth.

Joseph Biden has a Ministry of Truth.

prolly right on that

prolly right on that

To all our Mexican, Mexican-American, and non-bigot American colleagues, friends, and neighbors

HAPPY Cinco de Mayo  

Yes!  HAPPY Cinco de Mayo! 

Karine Jean-Pierre to become WH press secretary, the first Black and out LGBTQ person in the role

CNN -

Jean-Pierre will formally begin following Psaki's last day,
which will be May 13.

Psaki's departure is not surprising, given she had been public
about her plan to leave after one year on the job.

"I just want to take the opportunity to celebrate and congratulate my friend, my colleague, my partner in truth, Karine Jean-Pierre, the next White House press secretary," Psaki told reporters at the White House.
"She will be the first black woman, the first out LGBTQ+ person to serve in this role, which is amazing because representation matters and she will give a voice to so many and show so many what is truly possible when you work hard, and dream big and ... we should celebrate that."

Muchas Gracias DoubleUp4Life...!!!

Long Covid-19 may remain a chronic condition for millions

CNN -
Covid-19 has become a chronic condition for tens of millions of people -- and an expensive one, as well. Long Covid -- a condition marked by lingering symptoms that can involve multiple bodily systems -- has cost a cumulative $386 billion in lost wages, savings and medical expenses in the US alone as of January, according to one estimate.

On Tuesday, the Biden administration announced that it was making long Covid a national priority. It unveiled a plan to accelerate efforts to prevent, treat and detect long Covid through a national interagency research action program.
