We must not turn away. We cannot turn away.
After taking the oath of office this afternoon, I got right to work taking action to:

- Provide economic relief
- Tackle climate change

It delights me to think that what feels historical and amazing to us today—a woman sworn in to the vice presidency—will seem normal, obvious, "of course" to Kamala's grand-nieces as they grow up. And they will be right.
Republicans who stole Supreme Court seat & confirmed another justice 8 days before election when 65 million had already voted, then tried for 2 months to overturn a free & election that culminated in violent coup, don't get to lecture Dems about unity, healing or democratic norms
Donald Trump just made history as the only U.S. president to be impeached twice.

Americans will never forget.
