I really want some of the media and/or other Dems to ask these Republicans what they

(The Republican party) has done for the American people? Name on friggin thing that has benefited our citizens.

They've got nothing.

And have a backup plan, because we know how they will say that President Biden has done nothing.

Here are some examples but there are plenty more that this administration has accomplished.

"Rescued the Economy and Changed the Course of the Pandemic.

"Rebuilding our Infrastructure"
.
"Historic Expansion of Benefits and Services for Toxic Exposed Veterans."

"Nearly 11 million jobs have been created since President Biden took office – including 750,000 manufacturing jobs."

"New law to increase law enforcement accountability."

"New laws meant to increase job accountability for police and other members of the DOJ"

"Biden returned the United States to the Paris climate accord which Trump pulled out of, and set a goal of reducing U.S. greenhouse gas emissions 50-52 percent by 2030 compared to 2005 levels."

"US MANUFACTURING, INDUSTRY
Biden and his fellow Democrats pushed through more than $2 trillion in federal spending, much of it aimed at restoring US manufacturing, in bills including the CHIPS, Inflation Reduction Act and an infrastructure bill.

Many of the companies who want a share of that federal spending must comply with a batch of requirements that force industries to make their products in the United States, a move welcomed by labor unions but opposed by trading allies such as the European Union and Mexico.

U.S. manufacturing jobs hit 12.98 million in each of the first three months of this year, the most since 2008, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics."

"crack down on child labor laws"

Reunited 600 children the were kidnapped by the Trump administration, there are still about 1,000 but they continue to look for their families


"banned chokeholds and carotid restraints, unless deadly force is authorized, and limited the use of “no-knock” entries.

"Accreditation Standards: DOJ created first-of-their-kind accreditation standards "

"Guidelines for Emergency Responses to People with Behavioral Health or Other Disabilities: HHS and DOJ jointly developed guidance regarding emergency responses to calls and interactions with people in behavioral or mental health crisis or persons who have disabilities" (This is a great one since so many people who are having a mental health crisis are abused and even killed by cops)
