I commend President Biden on his decision. His tenure will be remembered as one of the most productive and consequential of any in history.

[Michael Beschloss @BeschlossDC]

In stepping aside, President Biden has shown how much and how genuinely he loves and wants to preserve democracy. He has done one of the most difficult things for any political leader, and has done so in the national interest.

Like JFK, President Biden asked not what his country could do for him but what he could do for his country. He will go down in history as a truly great president and a great human being.

[David Axelrod @davidaxelrod]

.@JoeBiden has served our country with all his heart and great distinction for more than half a century. History will honor him for his many extraordinary accomplishments as president AND for the terribly difficult and selfless decision he made today.
He understands what Donald Trump does not.
Our country is bigger than any one person--even the president of the United States.

[Liz Cheney @Liz_Cheney]

The framers of our Constitution knew that our republic would endure only if our presidents have the character and honor to put duty ahead of self interest. President Biden deserves our gratitude for his decades of service to our nation and for his courageous decision today.

As we learned from Mein Kampf, when a demagogue tells you what he is going to do, believe him. Reporters must ask all GOP candidates for all offices if they endorse these views. If the reporters don’t, they are failing at their jobs. https://t.co/VQnw6TRHev

History has taught us the cost of appeasement. While the Republican Party used to oppose murderous oppressors, today they kneel to them. They betray the ideals so many patriots died to defend.

And Vlad Putin smiled.

[Charlie Sykes @SykesCharlie]

Over the last several days, Trump has called for the execution of one of the nation’s top generals, threatened prosecutors, mocked the hammer attack on Pelosi’s husband, and endorsed more extra-judicial killings.

For the most part, the media shrugged.

From last year.

[Stuart Stevens @stuartpstevens]

This isn't complicated. The Russians supported Trump. He won. Today, the three leading candidates for the Republican nomination all support Putin's position that Russian genocide is a "regional dispute."

Trump has endorsed Jim Jordon for Speaker. He has the Putin position.

The party that was for decades the most consistent antagonist to the tyranny of the Soviet Union and Russia is now a functional tool to help Russian genocide.

In the history of Western democracies, no major political party has been so compromised by a hostile foreign power. If you vote Republican, this is what you are supporting.

Why should anyone be on Twitter if Musk blames his losses on the Jewish CEOs? Bye.

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

Allowing Putin to annex Ukrainian land in 2014 did not produce peace. So why does anyone think giving Putin more Ukrainian land now would produce lasting peace? Illogical.

[Stuart Stevens @stuartpstevens]

In 2012, Romney called Russia our "greatest geo-political foe." In 2016, Russia backed Trump. Now the leading candidates in GOP all support Putin's position to cut off aid to Ukraine. Russia's influence on the GOP is the most successful intelligence operation in history.

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

Yes, I actually want Russians to stop dying in this needless war. Mr. Putin, save Russian lies. End your invasion of Ukraine. You don't need more territory. Focus on developing the land you already have.

[Clyde Haberman @ClydeHaberman]

In our history Trump is the only president with no prior government or military service. He’s now twice impeached and four times indicted. That should be reason enough to not waste a second on someone with a comparable background of non-service, Vivek Ramaswamy.

[Yo-Yo Ma @YoYo_Ma]

This is for Maui, from a far away friend. I am so terribly sorry.

Happy Ukraine’s Independence Day!

The day of the free, the strong, and the dignified. The day of equals. Ukrainian men and women. In our entire country.

In this fight, everyone counts. Because the fight is for something that is important to everyone.

An independent Ukraine.
