Misleading tweets on Florida and Georgia checks to some residents
Biden should get most of the credit, not DeSantis. This is very misleading.
Brian Kemp in Georgia just did something similar. Once again, a tweet failed to say it used federal money.
someone in the Florida media FINALLY notes that the money ron desantis is handing out and taking credit for is actually from Joe Biden. https://t.co/16UHWDnUQN

Your tweet should say they are getting checks paid for mostly with federal money. You mention this in your article – at the end: Florida’s payments, however, are largely thanks to the federal American Rescue Plan, the Tallahassee Democrat reported…"

The U.S. is one of six nations in the world without any form of national paid leave. The Democrats are proposing four weeks, but even that is low.

Biden’s infrastructure plan
This plan is a great idea. It will help rebuild and expand our infrastructure and benefit people at the same time.
