Right now, instead of workers begging employers for work, we’re seeing employers have to compete for American workers.
We're seeing a resurgence of worker organizing and unionization.
Where I come from that is a good thing. And it’s long overdue.

I asked folks in eastern Kentucky whose homes were destroyed by the devastating floods what we could do. One told me, “We Kentuckians don’t want to ask for too much.”
As your President, I say: you’re not just Kentuckians, you’re Americans. We’re helping until everyone is home. https://twitter.com/POTUS/status/1557494576524443651/video/1 https://video.twimg.com/amplify_video/1557494510296473601/vid/720x720/o8coLaJLEIoQSu8u.mp4?tag=14 https://video.twimg.com/amplify_video/1557494510296473601/vid/720x720/o8coLaJLEIoQSu8u.mp4?tag=14
Don't take my word on the benefits of the Inflation Reduction Act.
Ask 130 top economists

The former Federal Reserve Vice Chair
They all agree.
I’m in awe of Danielle Robinson and her family’s courage. Through their pain of losing husband, father, and son Sgt. First Class Heath Robinson to toxic exposure, they found purpose to demand that we do better by our vets.
Today, with the signing of the PACT Act, we are. https://twitter.com/POTUS/status/1557451753024618499/photo/1 https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FZ0uF6oXgAMZ1V-.jpg https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FZ0uGmlWAAEgsjc.jpg
Today is long overdue, but we got it done together.
The Heath Robinson PACT Act is the law of the land. And for veterans and military families, today represents hope that our vets get better care – faster – when they return home. https://twitter.com/POTUS/status/1557440260191264778/photo/1 https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FZ0jp5QXwAEMQuG.jpg https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FZ0jqQGXEAQG1TY.jpg
As a nation, our truly sacred obligation is to equip those we send into harm’s way and care for them and their families when they come home.
Moments ago, I signed the PACT Act into law, and we took one step closer to fulfilling that sacred obligation.
The PACT Act is the most significant law in our nation’s history to help millions of veterans who were exposed to toxic substances during their military service. Bar none.
Today it becomes law.

Last year, one-third of core inflation was due to high prices for automobiles because of the shortage of semiconductors.
With the CHIPS and Science Law boosting our efforts to make semiconductors right here at home, America is back leading the way.
RT WhiteHouse: The PACT Act is a critical step forward to fulfill our nation’s sacred obligation to care for veterans. For veterans facing toxic exposure and surviving families and friends, the PACT Act is long overdue. https://twitter.com/WhiteHouse/status/1557336134170050561/video/1 https://video.twimg.com/amplify_video/1557335995447664640/vid/720x720/Ki9271wGzFAjViHk.mp4?tag=14 https://video.twimg.com/amplify_video/1557335995447664640/vid/720x720/Ki9271wGzFAjViHk.mp4?tag=14
Did you know one-third of all the chips in the world use the polysilicon made in the great town of Hemlock, Michigan?
Imagine if we had more of those kinds of factories across the country.
The CHIPS and Science Law will make that a reality.
Earlier, I spoke with President Niinistö and Prime Minister Andersson to offer my congratulations and the United States' support as their countries move one step closer to joining the strongest alliance in the world: NATO. https://twitter.com/POTUS/status/1557152148068204545/photo/1 https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FZwdn7PX0AQ2nSe.jpg
Finland and Sweden's decision to join NATO is a watershed moment for our Alliance.
It will help ensure greater security and stability for our world.
Finland and Sweden will make NATO stronger.
Today, I signed the U.S. Instruments of Ratification, making the United States the 23rd Ally to approve their membership in NATO.

Here's the deal: America invented semiconductors.
But after American manufacturing was hollowed out, we let semiconductors go overseas.
Today, we bring microchip building – and the jobs that come with it – home. https://twitter.com/POTUS/status/1557056889900384256/photo/1 https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FZvG_NgXEAAu5Wl.jpg
The CHIPS and Science Bill ensures that the United States leads the world in industries of the future, from quantum computing and artificial intelligence to vaccines for cancer and cures for HIV.
The future of the microchip industry is going to be Made in America.
Today, I sign into law the CHIPS and Science Act. It's a once-in-a-generation law that invests in America by supercharging our efforts to make semiconductors here at home.
Today represents a more secure economy, jobs, and a stronger future for our nation.
America is delivering.

Americans work hard to put three meals on the table, take care of their kids, and pay their bills.

I ran for President with a promise to combat the existential threat of climate change.
Yesterday, the Senate took a historic step by passing my proposal to build a clean energy future. It will create jobs for American workers and secure the future of our kids and grandkids. https://twitter.com/POTUS/status/1556779842854703104/photo/1 https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FZrLA4BXoAAa-q0.png
America stands with Kentucky during their time of loss.

I'm committed to Kentucky's recovery after this catastrophic flooding.
We're allocating millions in aid, providing grants for temporary housing and loans to help cover property losses, and we've committed to covering 100% of the emergency work for 30 days to rebuild communities.
To the people of Kentucky: Jill and I want you to know that the country is with you.
We’re praying for the families of those who died and everyone who lost homes and businesses who will never be the same.

Today, the United States has authorized our biggest security assistance package to date for Ukraine.
This package will get additional ammunition, weapons, and equipment to Ukraine to help meet their critical security needs as they defend their country.
How many times have lawmakers in Washington promised that they’d give Medicare the power to negotiate for lower drug prices?
Right now, we're on the verge of getting it done.

Today, Senate Democrats voted to lower the cost of Rx drugs, health insurance, and energy — all while reducing the deficit and making the richest corporations pay their fair share.
I ran to make government work for working families again.
That’s what this bill does — period.
My father used to say that a job was about a lot more than a paycheck. It was about your dignity, your respect, your place in the community.
It was about being able to look your child in the eye and say it was going to be okay.
That’s the economy I’m determined to build.
We're going to restore some fairness in the tax code by imposing a corporate minimum tax of 15 percent on billion-dollar corporations.
When the Inflation Reduction Act passes, they're finally going to start paying their fair share.
I am angered and saddened by the horrific killings of four Muslim men in Albuquerque. While we await a full investigation, my prayers are with the victims’ families, and my Administration stands strongly with the Muslim community.
These hateful attacks have no place in America.
One of the ways you give working people a fighting chance is by making health care, prescriptions, energy, and so much more, affordable and accessible.
The Inflation Reduction Act will get that done.
Gas prices are now down by more than 90 cents a gallon. That’s over seven straight weeks of prices declining.
Right now, a family in America with two cars is saving $100 a month on gas compared to peak prices.
That's breathing room. And we're not letting up any time soon.
Americans deserve to know that their tax dollars are spent as intended.
Yesterday I signed into law two bipartisan bills that will hold those cheats accountable that defrauded the American people by stealing pandemic aid. https://twitter.com/POTUS/status/1555946812133052418/photo/1 https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FZfVYHbWAAALPG3.jpg
The Inflation Reduction Act will reduce the deficit by $300 billion.
And we’ll do it without raising taxes a penny on those making less than $400,000 a year.
The days of our nation's biggest companies paying zero dollars in federal income tax are numbered.
We’ve now created 9.5 million jobs since taking office.
That’s millions more families with the dignity and peace of mind that a paycheck provides. https://twitter.com/POTUS/status/1555675020558573571/photo/1 https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FZbeLo6WQAMfQbo.jpg
After my predecessor exploded the federal deficit, I said: no more.
And I've kept my word. The deficit is down a record $1.7 trillion this year. And that’s on top of the $350 billion we reduced the deficit by last year.
When you're seeing the biggest and fastest job recovery in American manufacturing since the 1950s, Make It in America isn't just a slogan.
It’s a reality.
A driver in our recovery is the success of small businesses. And a key to that success is making sure that funds committed to mom and pops go where they're supposed to.
Pandemic fraud under my predecessor cheated the American people. Today's bills prove watchdogs are back.
Tune in as I sign two bipartisan bills that will hold those who commit fraud under COVID-19 small business relief programs accountable. https://twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1eaKbNaYpgjKX
We've created 613,000 manufacturing jobs since I took office. That’s the most in three decades.
Making in America is coming back. And with the investments in the Inflation Reduction Act, we're going to supercharge our recovery.
When we pass the Inflation Reduction Act, working families will get rebates to buy efficient appliances and weatherize their homes. And folks will have tax credits for efficient heating and cooling and rooftop solar.
Families will see their energy bills drop by the hundreds.
Today’s jobs report shows that the economy added 528,000 jobs in July.
More people are working than at any point in American history. That’s no accident, it’s results.
Today, I sat down with leaders from some of America's largest companies and labor organizations to talk Inflation Reduction Act and how this bill meets the needs of working families now and sets us up for stronger, sustained economic growth for the years ahead. https://twitter.com/POTUS/status/1555347155598147585/photo/1 https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FZWz_FRXwAYCEOZ.jpg https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FZWz_gfWAAA6Bwg.jpg
I remain committed to our monkeypox response: ramping-up vaccine distribution, expanding testing, and educating at-risk communities.
That's why today's public health emergency declaration on the virus is critical to confronting this outbreak with the urgency it warrants.
It's time for Medicare to have the power to negotiate prescription drug prices.
The Inflation Reduction Act will get it done.
The Inflation Reduction Act won't just be the largest investment in clean energy and American energy security in history.
It will be the largest investment in American manufacturing as well.
The Inflation Reduction Act will cap the amount of money seniors pay on prescription drugs at $2,000 a year for cancer and any other diseases.
That’s a godsend for so many families.
Tune in to the Inflation Reduction Act roundtable with business and labor leaders as I discuss how we’ll lower costs and the deficit, fight inflation, and bolster domestic manufacturing. https://twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1MYxNnMObLRxw
Putin is still waging his war in Ukraine, putting pressure on global oil supply, and families can feel it.
But we stepped up to release one million barrels of oil a day from our Reserve, and rallied our global partners to release from theirs. Now, prices are on a record decline.
For too long, big, super-wealthy corporations haven’t paid their fair share in taxes.
We’re going to change that with Inflation Reduction Act.
When we pass the Inflation Reduction Act, not a single American in the middle class will pay higher taxes.
It’s that simple.
I’m doing everything I can to bring down the cost of gas at the pump. And today, America hit 50 days straight of falling gas prices – the fastest decline in over a decade. https://twitter.com/POTUS/status/1554972940046925824/video/1 https://video.twimg.com/amplify_video/1554972889245442048/vid/720x720/uJgVPIwTIzxvxxpr.mp4?tag=14 https://video.twimg.com/amplify_video/1554972889245442048/vid/720x720/uJgVPIwTIzxvxxpr.mp4?tag=14
I created the Task Force on Reproductive Healthcare Access to ensure the government acts during this moment.
As medical care is denied to women. As pharmacies are unsure whether they can fill prescriptions. As rape survivors, including a 10-year-old, have to travel for care.
I am committed to doing everything in my power, including taking strong action like the Executive Order I signed today, to safeguard access to abortion care. https://twitter.com/POTUS/status/1554951949405003781/photo/1 https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FZRMjGNXwAECypZ.jpg https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FZRMjgHX0AA9_wg.jpg
Congress must codify the protections of Roe as federal law.
And if Congress fails to act, the people of this country need to make their voices heard.
I don't think the Supreme Court or for that matter Congressional Republicans – who for decades have pushed their extremist agenda – have a clue about the power of American women.
Last night in Kansas they found out.

Today’s Executive Order builds on the first Executive Order that I signed last month to safeguard access to health care – including abortion care – that was ripped away.
I told you I wouldn’t back down. That hasn’t changed. https://twitter.com/POTUS/status/1554894823869612036/photo/1 https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FZQYmX9WAAA_JbO.png
Today I'll sign a second Executive Order to address the reproductive health care crisis since Roe was overturned.
It will support women traveling for abortion care, ensure providers comply with the law when women require medical care, and advance maternal health research.
This morning, I held a secure phone call with my national security team.
We discussed a wide range of priorities, including the United States’ support of a free and open Indo-Pacific and our continued support for Ukraine in response to Putin’s war. https://twitter.com/POTUS/status/1554867016049229825/photo/1 https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FZP_To7XEAMZdEn.jpg
