Sara Blakely sold fax machines door-to-door and started Spanx with $5,000 in savings & no experience. She never raised money & has now sold a majority stake in the brand at a $1.2 billion valuation. The best part? The gift she gave her 500+ employees to celebrate. Amazing 🙏

To those who have been asking about the date on which the US #TravelBan will be lifted, let me assure you that, together with EU colleagues here, we continue to seek clarity from the US authorities on the precise date for removal of the ban.

I don’t like formality. There’s no formality when we’re born and none when we die. In between we should treat each other as brothers and sisters because we all want to live a happy life. This is our common purpose and our right.

JUST NOW: WH announces "new international air travel" system allowing ALL fully vaxxed foreign nationals to fly to US, with added steps, starting in Nov Jeff Zients says the system "includes strict protocols to prevent the spread of COVID-19 from passengers flying into the US"

Our Ambassador to the US is completely correct. The #TravelBan on fully vaccinated, rigorously tested Europeans is outdated. Too many families are being kept apart. Too many businesses are being impacted. @EUAmbUS @EUintheUS
Indeed, fully vaccinated, pre-flight-tested Europeans could today visit the US in full safety, but are still kept out by the outdated #travelban. Personal & business travel is hugely important for long-separated families & for the US and EU economies.

Research shows: The risk of a person infected with COVID-19 boarding a flight from the U.K. to the U.S. is 1 out of 10,000. #LetsMeetThere

70% of EU adults are now fully vaccinated. The U.S. can safely let vaccinated Europeans in (with existing pre-flight testing), as the EU lets in vaccinated Americans. The travel ban seriously harms vital economic & human ties, at a time when they're most needed.
70% of adults in EU are fully vaccinated. I want to thank the many people making this great achievement possible. But we must go further! We need more Europeans to vaccinate. And we need to help the rest of the world vaccinate, too. We'll continue supporting our partners.

There are many Irish people in the same position. Unable to visit family despite being fully vaccinated. I feel for them, separated from loved ones for up to 2 years now.
I fully support this strong request to lift the American travelban for Europeans. We have many Dutch nationals who want to visit their friends and families in the US. And we have many Dutch nationals who stay in the US but can not return if they visit the NL’s.This should change!

Summer is over, kids are back in school, but the US travel ban on Europeans is still here. Families and loved ones are still separated. 18 months into the crisis. How is it this even possible? #LiftTheTravelBan #LoveIsNotTourism #Test4Travel 1/

Today is 525 days since U.S. government announced it would TEMPORARILY ban visitors from the United Kingdom, Ireland and Schengen Area European nations. Babies have been born. Loved ones have passed away. Weddings, graduations missed. Enough. It must end now. #StoptheTravelBan

In the meantime rather unfortunate I can’t count on @EU_Commission to defend my interests by enforcing strict reciprocity

Declining all my invitations to go to the US in next two months as Biden administration still does not allow Europeans to visit. Before Afghanistan I thought it was a deliberate decision, now suspect it is just administrative chaos and incompetence

The U.S. should open its border to Canadians and @LetUsReunite. We are pushing to make sure @CBP has the staffing and resources needed when that happens. higgins.house.gov/media-cent…
