So immensely grateful to the men and women who have put their lives on the line to defend this great nation. My commitment continues - give soldiers everything they need to fight when they are in harm's way, and give veterans everything they deserve when they come home.

It was an honour to perform @whitehouse and be presented by President @JoeBiden with the National Humanities Medal for my contribution to music and the work through @EJAF to end AIDS! We’ve reached over 100m people with HIV and we couldn't have done it without our supporters❤️

Just to be clear: we now have more PRIVATE sector jobs than we did before the pandemic started -- more than any time in history (the gap noted below is because government employment has shrunk.)

Replying to @SteveRattner
Though the unemployment rate is near the pre-pandemic level, we’re still ~500K jobs short of Feb. 2020. Job openings remain near record highs, however. If trends continue, we’ll have recovered all pandemic job losses in just a few more months!
