Thank you @POTUS and @VP for your steadfast leadership of this nation.
This has been the honor of my life.
Thank you to @SecMartyWalsh, @TomPerez, and @EvanMRyan for your incredible examples of public service.
I'll be @dank going forward.
With hearts full of gratitude: Happy Thanksgiving, America.
Jill and I are so grateful for the trust you’ve placed in us these past four years – serving you has been the honor of our lives.
Today, we honor generations of America's veterans – patriots who have stood on the frontlines of freedom and kept the light of liberty shining bright around the world.
May we all strive to be worthy of their sacrifices for us.
Sarasota Mayor Liz Alpert on Federal Response to #HurricaneMilton: "I think everybody has gotten to us what we needed. The federal government has contacted us from @POTUS's office. I got a call from @SecretaryPete, got a call from the @VP's office"
Today is a day of solemn remembrance as we mourn the souls we lost in a heinous terrorist attack on September 11, 2001.
We stand in solidarity with their families and loved ones. We also honor the extraordinary heroism on display that fateful day by ordinary Americans helping their fellow Americans.
We will never forget.
.@CNN with @HerbieZiskend46:
There are 60,000 projects up and running thanks to legislation President Biden has signed into law.
But for @POTUS and @VP, it's about continuing our work over the next four months to bolster the middle class.
The focus remains on the work ahead:
On Labor Day, we thank the organizers, activists, workers, and leaders of the labor movement who have helped build this nation.
Our entire country benefits from the work of unions because when unions are strong, America is strong.
It's Labor Day – a day to stand in solidarity with America’s workers, the backbone of our nation’s prosperity.
Today we recommit to ensuring that every worker has a shot at achieving the American Dream.
After enduring unimaginable suffering and uncertainty, the Americans detained in Russia are safe, free, and have begun their journeys back into the arms of their families.
I commend the actions taken by the Springfield State’s Attorney’s office. While we wait for the case to be prosecuted, let us pray to comfort the grieving.
Congress must pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act to increase trust and accountability in America’s police force.
Sonya’s family deserves justice. I am heartbroken for her children and family as they face this unthinkable and senseless loss.
Jill and I mourn with the rest of the country and our prayers are with Sonya’s family, loved ones, and community during this devastating time.
Sonya Massey, a beloved mother, friend, daughter, and young Black woman, should be alive today.
Sonya’s death at the hands of a police officer reminds us that all too often Black Americans face fears for their safety in ways many of the rest of us do not.
I have been briefed on the shooting at Donald Trump’s rally in Pennsylvania.
I’m grateful to hear that he’s safe and doing well. I’m praying for him and his family and for all those who were at the rally, as we await further information.
Jill and I are grateful to the Secret Service for getting him to safety. There’s no place for this kind of violence in America. We must unite as one nation to condemn it.

AP: "More than 1 million union workers and retirees’ pensions will have been saved by the Butch Lewis Act ... The law, enacted as part of @POTUS' American Rescue Plan, will ultimately stop cuts to the retirement benefits of 2 million workers." https://t.co/bPsK5yszjO
The men who fought here in Normandy became heroes not because they were the strongest, or toughest, or fiercest – although many were.
But because they were given an audacious mission, knowing they could die, and they did it anyway.
They knew, beyond any doubt that there are things in this world worth fighting and dying for.
Freedom is worth it.
Democracy is worth it.
America is worth it.
The world is worth it.
