Before the president gets on television tonight to peddle lies and conspiracy theories, here is what you need to know:

The 2020 election was not stolen. We won, and he lost.

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

Two hundred and fifty years ago, a group of Americans signed their names to a piece of parchment and made a promise no nation had ever made before: that we're all created equal, endowed by our Creator with unalienable rights — life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

We're the only nation in history built not on ethnicity, or blood, or geography but on an idea. That's always been what makes us exceptional. We chose that path 250 years ago but that’s where the work began, not where it ended. Every generation has had to choose it again. At Valley Forge, at Gettysburg, on the beaches of Normandy, in the streets of Selma. Americans recommitted themselves to the principles on which our nation was founded.

Now it's our turn.

There's nothing guaranteed about our democracy. We have to fight for it, defend it, and earn it. Over and over, year after year. That's not a burden. That's what it means to be an American.

250 years in, we still haven't fully lived up to those words in the Declaration. But we've never walked away from them, and this July 4, I hope all of us can commit to one thing: that we never will. I don't believe we're as divided as we're told we are. I've bet my whole life on the American people, and I'm not stopping now.

Happy 250th birthday, America. Our story isn't finished. Let's keep writing it together.

This is what Trump's done to the people's house:

A third of it is rubble.

Another third is a cage match.

What a metaphor.

GOP Sen. Thom Tillis: “To call Ken Paxton 'ethically challenged' is to call Jeffrey Dahmer suffering from an eating disorder.”

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

By the end of Trump’s term, it’ll be just enough to buy one gallon of gas and a carton of eggs.

[James Talarico @jamestalarico]

Ken Paxton is the most corrupt politician in America. 

He embodies the broken system we’re running against.

It’s time to come together: The People vs. Ken Paxton

[James Talarico @jamestalarico]

I want to thank Senator John Cornyn for his years representing our state. 

We don’t agree on everything, but we both still believe in public service.

To Senator Cornyn’s supporters: you have a place in our campaign.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

It was great joining @JamesTalarico and @GinaHinojosaTX today in Texas. They're working hard to make a difference in the lives of all Texans, and will be able to do even more as your next Senator and Governor.

Let’s get it done, Texas!

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

Sincere question: do Trump supporters who genuinely want to reduce political violence actually think that lobbing transparently hypocritical accusations about the left's rhetoric is in any way effective?

Are we really gonna go through another cycle where MAGA folks point out incendiary rhetoric on the left without ever acknowledging that some of the most violent and incendiary rhetoric in America comes from the President and his supporters? Do you not think the rest of the country has eyes and ears?

It's truly awful that President Trump has been the target of political violence. It's also truly awful how he's frequently talked about his political opponents: accusing them of treason, amplifying calls for their execution, publicly celebrating their death, calling them scum, garbage, vermin, animals. It was like 3 weeks ago that he threatened the annihilation of an entire civilization! It was just a few months ago that he and his White House knowingly smeared two Americans who'd been killed by federal agents as domestic terrorists!

I hate political violence. I hate what happened last night. Probably 99% of Americans agree. But let's not insult everyone's intelligence by pretending that the most powerful person in the world isn't a huge part of the problem here.

[Charlotte Clymer 🇺🇦 @cmclymer]

Folks... tonight was not a false flag. It was a very stupid individual carrying out a very stupid act. This was a real assassination attempt. Please don't fall down these rabbit holes of conspiracy nonsense. They aren't helpful. You can despise Trump and also acknowledge reality.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world. Most of all, it’s a testament to the resilience and determination of the Hungarian people – and a reminder to all of us to keep striving for fairness, equality and the rule of law.

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

The end of Viktor Orbán’s autocratic regime is a victory not just for Hungary, but for people who value democracy around the world.

Congratulations to Tisza, to incoming leader Péter Magyar, and to Hungarians everywhere.

Here is my opening statement to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee today.

[James Talarico @jamestalarico]

We’re going on tour!

For the next two weeks before Election Day, we’re hitting the road — going everywhere and talking to everyone.

It’s time to take back Texas.

So let’s stop the games.

If you want this fight, @RepJamesComer, let’s have it—in public.

You love to talk about transparency. There’s nothing more transparent than a public hearing, cameras on.

We will be there.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life fighting for equity and justice. He taught us that even in the face of intimidation and discrimination, we must never stop working towards a better future – a lesson that feels especially relevant today.

Change has never been easy. It takes persistence and determination, and requires all of us to speak out and stand up for what we believe in. As we honor Dr. King today, let’s draw strength from his example, and do our part to build on his legacy.

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

“Let us rededicate ourselves to the long and bitter, but beautiful, struggle for a new world,” Martin Luther King Jr said. “This is the calling of the sons of God, and our brothers wait eagerly for our response.”

May we reply by doing the most good we can.
