There is one thing in American politics that cannot be disputed: Dr. Jill Biden’s rock solid commitment to our military, military families, veterans, their families, caregivers, and survivors.

Joining Forces yet another indication of just that. Thanks, Dr. B.

The mission of VA is to provide the absolute best care and benefits to our veterans and their survivors. To achieve that, you need partners.

If confirmed, organizations who speak for veterans and those who love them will have a seat at the table.

If confirmed to lead VA, I hope that my own words, actions, and successes on behalf of the veteran community will earn your trust. I won’t rest until I ensure our veterans, their families, caregivers, and survivors receive the care they deserve.

When you get to work with the men and women of our Armed Services day in and day out, you can’t help but believe that we have a sacred obligation to them.

I will ensure that when our service members return home we take care of them the way they took care of us.

As a Minnesotan at heart, I'm relieved the first shipments of the vaccine hit the ground back home yesterday – and I'm proud to know health care workers serving our veterans are among the first to receive it. twincities.com/2020/12/14/min…

The President-elect’s marching orders to me were clear: “Fight like hell for our veterans.”

I will honor that order. We’re going to fight like hell to give our veterans and their families the healthcare, respect and dignity that they deserve.

When I received the call from President-elect Biden, I assured him that I will represent the voices of all veterans at every level, on every issue, every day. Those who have served this nation, their caregivers, and survivors should expect nothing less.

Brilliant economist, even more brilliant teammate: enthusiastic, curious, thoughtful, creative, supportive. Alan made all of us better. Our thoughts and support for his amazing family. princeton.edu/news/2019/03/1…

No jump shots. No ferns. No memes. Not this time. I’m going to give it to you straight: If you need health insurance for 2019, the deadline to get covered is December 15. Go to HealthCare.gov today and pass this on — you just might save a life.

Tomorrow’s elections might be the most important of our lifetimes. The health care of millions is on the ballot. Making sure working families get a fair shake is on the ballot. The character of our country is on the ballot.

Mike Grant always knows what he’s talking about - particularly so here. John Gagliardi was the greatest. We’ll miss him. strib.mn/2ymklXB

As usual, a great interview by Michael Morell. Lots to learn from Jake Sullivan - and you’ll see why Minnesotans are so proud of Jake, a product of Minnesota Public Schools and manifestation of smarts, decency, and competence.

We lost a great American today. Mike Sheehan, a pillar of CT through service in Army Special Forces, State Dept, White House, NYPD, and the Pentagon. Very fortunate to have learned so much from him -- abt terrorism and CT, how to get things done in govt, & putting mission first.
