If every one of your states gets involved to support our foster care community, we can accelerate our vision to protect these individuals and set them on a pathway to shine. I consider this your moral obligation.
Last month, I advanced my foster care legislative initiative at the House Ways and Means Committee on Capitol Hill. Two inspiring young Americans from the foster care community joined us to share their personal stories.
Their powerful statements united the bipartisan group around a shared goal of passing new law protecting the foster care community. The bill will soon reach the Senate. Their names are Jayden Martinez and Jocelyn Fetting.
I highlight their names because Jocelyn and Jayden are living proof that the American Dream is within reach for all. This is and should be America’s priority, and together, we will make America stronger for our children and grandchildren.
Thank you for joining me here today. Your leadership in establishing Fostering the Future within your state can leave a lasting mark on the life of a young person in your community. Together, we will change lives.

White House Press Pool Reports @WHPressPool - Out-of-Town Pool Report #11 - POTUS concludes
POTUS concluded his remarks at 12:43 p.m.
There were laughs at his comment about parents calling their children “boy” and “girl,” and that he knew parents of a potential cadet that he doubted would “make” it.
There were also smiles at him saying there were some graduates who are “slightly” better than the others.
“Never feel guilty about success, right?”
He asked six distinguished cadets onstage.
“I hate good-looking men,” he told the first.
“I’m not fighting him,” he said to the second. “This is not UFC. Please understand that, Thomas.“
“If I didn't invite her up, they’d accuse me of discrimination,” he added to the fourth to chuckles.
He joked, too, about local restaurant, Mr. G’s: “I don't know what it is, but I don't like the sound of this. I'm not, where am I going with this one? But we want you all to have a clean slate as you begin your career, so therefore, Mr. Superintendent, I hereby absolve all cadets who are on restriction for minor conduct infractions, and even somewhat major infractions, effective immediately.”
He underscored his policy decisions to help student athletes, his deal with Finland for “at least 55” new ice breakers, and complained about prior agreements with Taiwan for semiconductors.
“We're not going to let Iran have a nuclear weapon and blow up the entire Middle East, Israel, the entire Middle East, and then come here for you, not going to happen,” he said of Iran.
He additionally praised the Coast Guard for its work securing the border, interdicting illegal drugs, its role in seizing former Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro, and its increased enrolment/recruitment numbers.
