Michelle and I are thinking about everyone in Florida, North Carolina, and across the Southeast whose lives have been upended by storms over the last couple of weeks.

My heart breaks for all of the people in Lāhainā and on Maui who are dealing with the aftermath of last week’s wildfires.

It’s tough to see some of the images coming out of Hawai’i — a place that’s so special to so many of us. Michelle and I are thinking of everyone who has lost a loved one, or whose life has been turned upside down.

If you’d like to help, you can do so here.…

Today, I signed the Inflation Reduction Act into law. It does so much of what we've fought to make happen for years like lowering costs and proving our government can work for working folks.

Here are the three major things you should know: https://t.co/7d5Dnk4bKS

The Inflation Reduction Act that just passed the Senate is a major accomplishment. Not only will it reduce inflation and lower the cost of prescription drugs – it also happens to be the most consequential piece of climate legislation in American history. https://t.co/w3s3E8rGoZ

Thanks to President Biden and Democrats in Congress, people’s bills will get smaller, their lives will get longer, and we’ll have a real shot at avoiding the worst impacts of climate change. That’s something Democrats everywhere can and should be proud of.
