President Joe Biden's Milwaukee and Pittsburgh visits come as midterm crunch time begins and Donald Trump makes his rounds.

President Joe Biden will be at Labor Day festivities in Milwaukee Monday, illustrating the battleground state's importance to both parties as Labor Day kicks off a nine-week sprint to crucial midterm elections.

Two days after that, Biden went to Independence Hall in Philadelphia for a prime-time address denouncing the "extremism" of Trump's fiercest supporters. And after Milwaukee, he'll travel to Pittsburgh for that city's parade. Biden added in that speech that "MAGA Republicans are destroying American democracy," referring to Trump's "Make America Great Again" campaign cry and pointing to incidents like last year's mob attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Endorsements from key unions helped Biden overcome disastrous early finishes in Iowa and New Hampshire to win the Democratic primary, and eventually the White House. He has since continued to praise labor unions - even though many voters without college degrees, many working class, remain among Trump's strongest bloc of supporters.

Biden, meanwhile, has personal history with Pittsburgh's Labor Day parade, which is among the nation's largest. He attended the 2015 installment as vice president and returned in 2018. Both times, Biden, now 79, faced questions about whether he'd run for president in upcoming elections - which he opted against in 2016 before winning the White House in 2020.

Joe Biden does not represent the dream of AmericaPresident Joe Biden, against a blood red background that included a couple parade-rest Marines as part of the visual messaging, delivered an angry condemnation of MAGA conservatives as a “clear and present” danger to America. It’s like Biden was channelling his inner Benito Mussolini. OpEd I have given him a new name: Il Douché. OpEd I thought it was a Putin impression.... OpEd This does?

PolitiFact - Is Joe Biden’s student debt forgiveness plan legal?If President Joe Biden's student loan forgiveness plan did go to court, a majority of Supreme Court justices might be swayed into overturning it by an argument that the Education Department is reading too much authority into the law. Well if they did overturn it there will be riots in the streets. Is that how it works or is the threaten violence card only available to republicans? The 9/11 heroes leg being abused to steal from Americans who didn’t take out loans…. Yep the court will be striking that insanity down. And since we know whose pocket they’re in, we won’t be surprised when they overturn it, making them the ultimate pariah but I don’t think they care… Pay attention to who starts the lawsuit process.
