Over one million Americans live in federally funded nursing homes — the majority of which are understaffed.

President Biden and I are taking historic action to address this staffing shortage and protect our care workers and loved ones.

Today, I announced new federal actions to address staffing shortages in nursing homes and help raise pay for home health care workers.

Care workers provide our loved ones safety, dignity, and self-determination. They do God’s work caring for us – and we must care for them.

Passover teaches us the value of resilience and hope in the face of adversity.

Doug and I wish a happy Passover to Jewish families celebrating in America and around the world. Chag Sameach.

On Earth Day, we recommit to our fight to build a healthier, safer, and more prosperous planet.

Earlier this year, I convened voting rights leaders to discuss the Biden-Harris Administration's work to protect the freedom to vote.

This week, U.S. Department of Justice relaunched justice.gov/voting to help keep voters informed and protect election workers.

It was an honor to meet you, Madam Vice President.

Today, members of both parties in the House of Representatives voted to advance our national security interests by passing urgently needed legislation delivering critical support to Israel and Ukraine, and aid for those impacted by conflict and disasters around the world.

I urge

Congratulations to the Volkswagen autoworkers in Tennessee who made history by voting overwhelmingly to join the UAW.

Unions are critical to our fight to build an economy where every person, not just the wealthy or well-connected, can thrive. When unions win, all workers win.

25 years after the massacre at Columbine High School, President Biden and I have taken historic action to close the gun show loophole and ensure fewer guns are sold without background checks.

Now, Congress must save lives and pass universal background checks and an assault weapons ban.

To the families and survivors of Columbine: Nobody should have to endure what you experienced 25 years ago.

The trauma of that day will never completely heal. I am grateful to Heather and so many survivors who dedicate their lives to helping communities recover and stay safe.

As of today, President Biden and I have conserved 41 million acres of lands and waters, and we are on track to conserve more than any Administration in history.

Gun violence has caused profound trauma for young people across America.

Through commonsense gun safety laws and historic investments in mental health resources, we are working to help our children heal and be safe.

Women should be paid their fair share — whether they’re a scientist, construction worker, or WNBA all-star.

President Biden and I are committed to closing the gender wage gap and creating an economy where every American can thrive.

Our student debt relief work has been life-changing for 4.3 million Americans, including Tonya, Beth, and Kelli.

President Biden and I have already forgiven $153 billion. Find out how you may benefit from our historic progress at StudentAid.gov.

Gun violence is the number one cause of death for the children of America.

Elected officials in state legislatures and Congress must have the courage to pass red flag and safe storage laws, make background checks universal, and ban assault weapons.

Nurses and doctors face up to 10 years in prison for providing abortion care in Georgia.

It does not have to be this way. No provider should face this anxiety, and no patient should deal with this cruelty.

The House must act quickly. The world is watching, and America must stand with our allies and partners.
