In this vulnerable moment for our democracy, there are signs of resilience. The images broadcast tonight of Repubs and Dems sitting together counting ballots show that citizens are empowered to do the right thing by the power of the legal system that is being upheld by states.

The world has its eyes on us. The outcome of the count will be a verdict on whether democracy wins. washingtonpost.com/world/2020/11/…

A sitting president undermining our political process & questioning the legality of the voices of countless Americans without evidence is not only dangerous & wrong, it undermines the very foundation this nation was built upon. Every American should have his or her vote counted.

I’ve always been awed by humans who run towards danger when duty calls. Grateful right now for all the citizen vote counters, Repubs and Dems, everyone masked, doing the painstaking work of tabulating every single ballot manually, vividly proving that our democracy still works.

"The purpose of our politics isn’t total, unrelenting, unending warfare. No. The purpose of our politics, the work of the nation, isn’t to fan the flames of conflict — but to solve problems.Ā To guarantee justice. To give everybody a fair shot. To improve the lives of our people."

⁦Joe Biden⁩ asks all of us to join in healing our land: "Let this grim era of demonization in America begin to end — here and now...It’s a decision. It’s a choice we make...And I believe that this is part of the mandate from the American people. They want us to cooperate."

During the 2016 post-election transition, those of us leading agencies with substantial national security duties worked with heightened vigilance.Ā It’s essential to ensure there are no gaps and that adversaries perceive no weakness. Inexplicable that Trump would fireĀ SECDEF now.

On #VeteransDay, honoring my father in law who enlisted in 1944 to fight in the Pacific, my late father who served in the early 1950s, and many military colleagues with whom I’ve been privileged to work.Ā Grateful for the service and sacrifice of our #Veterans and their families.

I've watched Ronald Klain in action since 1986 when he first advised President-elect Joe Biden. Ron is battle tested, steady, fair, honest and humble. Funny too!Most important, he has earned the trust of next POTUS and can speak truth to power. Thankful Ron will serve as WH COS.

If you don't yet know Antony Blinken, Avril Haines and Jake Sullivan, here's what matters: each is a person of absolute integrity, devotion to our country's democratic norms and values, deep and probing intelligence, and sheer competence. Thankful they will serve in key nat sec jobs.

On Thanksgiving I feel deep gratitude for every person who selflessly stands watch for others. To our military members, diplomats, intel officers, first responders, health care providers, and so many more who live lives dedicated to service --thank you. We are all in your debt.

Elated that Denis McDonough will be nominated by @joebiden to be VA Secretary. Denis has fierce management skills + deep humanity. Worked aggressively on Vets’ health & benefits as WH COS. Recently generated roadmap to prepare workers for jobs of the future — a key need for Vets.

To begin 2021 with inspiration, today I encourage you to watch ā€œA Life on Our Planetā€ — David Attenborough’s new film. This passionate 94 year old vividly portrays the existential challenges we face and calls on each of us to choose to make a difference: netflix.com/title/80216393…
