Biden: “I revere this office, but I love my country more,” Kamala Harris is "experienced, tough, capable" "Now the choice is up to you"

“The American Idea, we’ve not always lived up to it, but we never walked away from it.” Powerful words from President Biden this evening. 🇺🇸

So honored to welcome the 46th President Donald J. Trump Joe Biden to Austin where he provided the keynote for the LBJ Foundation 60th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act. Thank you, Mr. President for your lifetime of service to our United States of America! #txlege

Hillary Clinton knocks Donald Trump from the DNC stage.

Wow. This new Kamala Harris ad narrated by Viola Davis is one of the most powerful things I’ve watched. It tells the story, experience, & vision of Kamala Harris & why she is ready for this. It’s a masterpiece & it sent chills down my body. Watch & share.

I wonder what senators who voted for Hegseth are thinking now?

The war between Russia and Ukraine is Putin's war, not "Biden's war."

A handful of R senators and House members could announce: They're caucusing with the Dems for now and will vote for Schumer for Majority Leader and Jeffries for Speaker. And they'll do this in order to work with Democrats to construct guardrails against dictatorship.

As an American who believes that the rule of law is one of our greatest attributes, I am both embarrassed and frightened by the wrongful arrest & deportation of Abrego Garcia & Trump's refusal to obey the courts and return him. This is how democracies end.

The Donald J. Trump Administration, with its almost dictatorial demands, has brought more unity to Harvard University faculty than there has been during the 21st century. Harvard was contributing to America before Trump and will be contributing long after Trump.

What’s so hard about “due process”? You can’t claim to be for “law and order” and then ignore laws and courts.

Prayers for Pres. Biden and Dr. Jill Biden and the Biden family as they cope with the devastating news of Pres. Biden’s cancer diagnosis. 💕🙏🏻💕🙏🏻

‼️Not Guilty Verdict ‼️ Last week, I secured a Not Guilty verdict for a client facing serious gun charges and the risk of a lengthy prison sentence. Despite the DNA evidence, the jury identified key weaknesses in the prosecution’s case and returned the right verdict. #legal #law

We can't allow ourselves to become numb to mass shootings. What happened today in Minneapolis is heartbreaking, and Michelle and I are praying for the parents who have lost a child or will be sitting at their hospital bedside after yet another act of unspeakable, unnecessary

Just listened to former Pres. George W. Bush giving a heartfelt eulogy at the funeral of former Vice Pres. Dick Cheney’s funeral. His parting words. “ I hope that somewhere up the trail we will meet again..”

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

What has unfolded in Minneapolis this past month betrays our most basic values as Americans. We are not a nation that guns down our citizens in the street. We are not a nation that allows our citizens to be brutalized for exercising their constitutional rights. We are not a

Contrary to many recent declarations, the international rules-based order is not dead. Rather, the US under Trump is trying to quit it, but many others countries are not following us. When Trump quit the TPP, it didn’t collapse. Same will be true of UN. Same will be true of
