Today’s horrible attacks on our democracy should be a wakeup call to anyone still unclear about the need for concessions after a political contest. Words from our political leaders matter. The world is watching, our children are watching, history will remember.
The DNC has released a clip previewing tonight’s remarks from @MichelleObama: “I know Joe. He is a profoundly decent man guided by faith. He was a terrific vice president. He knows what it takes to rescue an economy, beat back a pandemic and lead our country. And he listens.”
Outrage about Trump’s attack on the USPS is not enough. Here are concrete steps each of us can take to protect our vote and save our democracy. Thread 1/10
I’ve known Senator @KamalaHarris for a long time. She is more than prepared for the job. She’s spent her career defending our Constitution and fighting for folks who need a fair shake. This is a good day for our country. Now let’s go win this thing.
.@KamalaHarris will be a phenomenal VP. Strong and balanced ticket. Regardless of political affiliation or nationality this is a historic moment for the US. One step closer. One step forward. Better together.
I have the great honor to announce that I’ve picked @KamalaHarris — a fearless fighter for the little guy, and one of the country’s finest public servants — as my running mate.

Massive. Not just Kushner, but for more than 30 other WH staffers as well? Their handling of clearances has never added up, and this looks like an enormous scandal.
America has lost a patriot and humble servant in George Herbert Walker Bush. While our hearts are heavy today, they are also filled with gratitude. Our thoughts are with the entire Bush family tonight – and all who were inspired by George and Barbara’s example.
