Jean-Pierre: We continue to call for congress to act, to pass an assault weapons ban, and take additional actions to make our kids and communities safer.

Jean-Pierre: [Harris] met today with women entrepreneurs, and announced nearly one billion dollars to help support the empowerment of women in Africa. The investments will help digitize women owned businesses, provide access to capital, health-care, and education, and combat gender-based violence…also announced a new fund, 'The Women in the Digital Economy Fund', alongside the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which will help close the global digital gender divide.

[global digital gender divide? what absolute idiocy]

Can't tell for sure, but it looks like Simon Ateba is standing in the back of the press conference. Maybe he was late, but did Jean-Pierre or the White House Correspondents Associate pull his seat as punishment for speaking out?

Kirby [White House press conference]: We haven't seen evidence that there's been any egregious misconduct when it comes to managing the security assistance that's gone into Ukraine. I would note that the Ukrainian officials also share our concerns that there is accountability, and transparency of things getting in and moving around the battlefield.

Reporter: Customs and Border Protection said that they're going to be granting parole to some of these fire victims so they cam enter the US illegally and receive emergency medical care, but since the Mexican president said that this fire did start as part of a protest when migrants learned they were going to be deported, is allowing them into the US now…does that at all risk incentivizing more of this kind of bad behavior?

Kirby: This is about trying to take care of some folks that are badly burned, and really hurt, and we know we can help them.

Jean-Pierre: Guns,as we know, is the leading cause that is killing our kids.

[they keep insisting this; it must be false]

Jean-Pierre: AR-15s, these assault weapons ban, they are weapons of war and they should not be on the streets.

LIVE: Subcommittee Hearing on Economic Growth, Energy Policy, and Regulatory Affairs

Cori Bush [Subcommittee Hearing]: When I was a young single mom of two, I became aware of the vast disparity of energy security. My electricity and heating bills were at times eighteen hundred dollars a month, for just one of them, which was double my rent.
