"Biden has steered the country out of a #recession and #pandemic, gotten through a slew of critical legislation (some bipartisan), avoided a default on the #debt, set the stage for about 14 million new #jobs and overseen a resurgence of manufacturing. Internationally, he has restored the #UnitedStates’ image and solidified and expanded #NATO in defense of #Ukraine.
John Kelly, the longest-serving White House chief of staff for Donald Trump, offered his harshest criticism yet of the former president in an exclusive statement to CNN.
Today is the 125th anniversary of the start of the Philippine–American War, which is the #UnitedStates‘ biggest conflict in the period between the Spanish–American War and World War I. The Americans‘ victory by 1902 cemented the U.S.‘ reputation as an imperial power with colonies across the Pacific from Manila to San Juan, Puerto Rico.
What I find really sad is that most Americans don’t even know about this war, which is glossed over in American history school books.

That was the #Kuwait School, in #Gaza. It was FULL of refugees last night when #Israel and the #UnitedStates bombed it in the middle of the night. Slaughtering countless #Palestinians in their sleep.
Massacres are being committed still. Yesterday alone, 600 people have been killed by #israeli bombardment and almost no coverage or outrage. Don't get used to the rising numbers, the same massacre in the Baptist hospital has been committed on other schools and hospitals. Don't get used to it. Demand a ceasefire.
3 fmr #UnitedStates foreign policy ofcls in Trump's admin met w/ Benjamin Netanyahu & other public figures in #Israel on Mon….
The delegation was comprised of Robert O'Brien, who served as Trump's 4th & final #NationalSecurity adviser, as well as fmr Ambassador to the #UAE John Rakolta & fmr Ambassador to #Switzerland Ed McMullen….
(But reality check: #MikeJohnson said he doesn’t want to pass #BorderLegislation because he doesn’t want the Biden admin to be able to take credit for it & because he wants to keep the issue alive for the 2024 #election.)
@wndlb you know people / media totally skipped over President Biden’s enormous accomplishment re the #UnitedStates’ joint effort w/ President #Xi / #PRC (#China) on #fentanyl.
