Spent the day in Newlyn, England being White House pool for First Lady, Dr. Jill Biden’s visit with Bude Surf Veterans, a Cornwall-based volunteer organization that provides social support and surfing excursions for veterans, first responders and their families.

I asked Dr. Biden what she saw as her role in President Biden’s “America is back” efforts. She said, “Our country has felt so fractured in so many ways. … I'm a partner on this journey of healing, bringing together unity, and, for our country … It’s a global kind of thing.”

Dr. Biden said her son Beau told her she should focus on mental health of veterans. Of the group, she said: “They're all dealing w/ PTSD or anxiety, a lot of mental health issues.” She said surfing helped them build “confidence” & “deal w/ life & get on the right track again.”

Today’s news shows that folks are feeling better about the economy. And for good reason: growth is near a 40-year high, unemployment is at its lowest level since the pandemic, and wages are on the rise.

Our economic plan is working — and we’re just getting started.

Consumer sentiment is up 9.4% since January — Americans are feeling more confident about our economy. And they should be — we’re setting records with our economic recovery and job growth.

Summit primer: The only way for Putin to preserve his $200 billion fortune and stay out of jail has been to stay in power. He’s killed, lied, cheated and stole to achieve this and has done so at the expense of 146 million Russians who are suffering in so many different ways

As the First Lady says: Any nation that out-educates us will out-compete us. That’s why we’re working to pass the American Families Plan, which makes historic investments in education. Secretary Cardona sat down with teachers to discuss how it’ll help them.
