    Is it just me or is it completely surreal to have a president speaking about poverty and hunger and the need to heal the nation? 5 days 16 hours 23 minutes 55 seconds

    The lack of transparency about the course of the President's illness is troubling but going to Walter Reed is the right thing to do. Patients can deteriorate quickly. One minute fine. Intubated the next.

    President Biden increasing supply directly to 950 community health centers (64% of current clinics)- this will make an incredible tangible difference for millions of BIPOC communities #CovidVaccine This is what Presidential leadership looks like.
