    • replaced more federal vehicle fleets with all electric

    • expanded solar and wind power across the nation

    • drafted new anti-redlining predatory mortgage regulations which went into effect in January

    • a crackdown on hidden fees from service providers, ticket sellers, and banks

    • forced Chinese companies to properly report SEC Filings in order to remain publicly tradeable

    • expanded less carbon intensive farming practices in the USA

    • funded medical research for things like cancer, countering the previous cuts by Republicans

    • helped Class-A railroad workers to have industry-wide paid sick leave, albeit after he undercut their strike he still aided them in getting all of their demands in the following months

    • literally penned the first and then only AI oversight and regulation with his AI Executive Order

    • investigated grocery store price gouging and blocked mergers such as Krogers-Albertsons

    • The Respect for Marriage Act which protects gay marriage

    • protected LGBT+ Service Members and Veterans

    • signed multiple executive orders protecting lgbt+ throughout the federal government including “prevent and combat discrimination on the basis of gender identity or sexual orientation” and “advance equality for LGBTQI+ individuals”

    • appointed the first openly LGBTQI+ Cabinet Secretary, White House Press Secretary, and White House Communications Director, the two first openly transgender people to ever be confirmed by the U.S. Senate, and the first out lesbian to achieve the rank of Ambassador.

    What the Biden Admin could not do without 60 votes:

    • Public Option Healthcare identical to Germany’s

    • A constitutional ammendment reversing Citizens United. The effect of this reversal is removing all PAC money from campaign funding and limiting individual contributions

    • Reversing the GOP and Trump’s tax bill which had cut taxes for the rich. The GOP also raised taxes on the lowest bracket and most middle class.

    FR, earlier some dude tried to shame me in a comment section about something I said in a different comment section, I straight up replied with a link to it and a quote. Yesterday a dude threatened to dox me and I said “come and fight me”.

    It’s almost like they expect us to reverse our statements and apologize or some shit. Nope. I say it again.


  • The real trick to making a good banana bread is not to use overripe bananas at all, no, it’s to use bananas frozen and set to thaw overnight (on plate so it doesnt stain the countertop)

    2 cups flour
    1 cup sugar
    2 eggs
    3 banana
    1 stick butter
    1/2 cup sour cream
    3/4 tsp baking powder
    1 tsp baking soda
    1 tsp salt
    2 tsp Vanilla extract

    All ingredients should be room temp, but eggs cannot sit out for longer than an hour. You can set the butter out at the same time as the bananas.

    Grease a muffin pan with generous amount of coconut oil. Cook 25 minutes.

    Optionally add chocolate chips, cut fruit, or walnuts.
