During last night’s joint address to Congress, President Biden hit on all the expected talking points, including lawmakers to pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act. He specifically wants that bill, which would implement a number of reform policies in the American policing system, to pass by next month, which will mark the one year anniversary of Floyd’s murder.
That wasn’t the end of Biden’s comments about violent racism, hate crimes, and gun violence. He praised the Senate for voting 94 – 1 (screw you, Josh Hawley) to pass the recent Asian Americans hate crimes bill and asked the House to do the same.

On Friday, President Joe Biden will sign into law the American Rescue Plan, a record-breaking stimulus package worth $1.9 trillion dollars. It’s a huge victory that was only made possible thanks to the slim majority Democrats hold in the Senate and the House. Zero Republicans voted for the bill in Congress, but that won’t stop them from trying to take credit for the vastly popular plan. Republican Senator Roger Wicker (R-MS) quickly jumped on the coattails of the Democrats’ success, tweeting “Independent restaurant operators have won $28.6 billion worth of targeted relief. This funding will ensure small businesses can survive the pandemic by helping to adapt their operations and keep their employees on the payroll.”
