@rauchway Dear National Archives:

I understand you blurred signs critical of Trump in photos of the 2017 Women’s March.

WHAT THE HELL DID YOU THINK WE WERE MARCHING FOR?

It’s wonderful to have a president with a functioning brain.

During the Trump years, Kremlin propagandists have been mocking the United States every single day and having loads of fun at our expense. Look at them now. Here, they were discussing what's coming for Russia under the Biden administration.

Wait a minute.

I’m on the phone with a friend and they said it’s so exciting we get to re-join the world health organization. It’s the little big things in life now.

I can’t help but think that Maya Angelou is looking down from Heaven proud at the #BlackGirlMagic that is Poet Laureate Amanda Gorman.

Amanda’s #InaugurationDay poem “The Hill We Climb” was beautiful and wonderfully delivered.

Biden mentioned white supremacy and said we will confront and defeat it. Did a President ever say this before in their inaugural address? Either way, amazing. Sign me up.

I find this more emotional than even watching Obama in 2008; the stakes are so starkly clear I still feel sick.

@cmclymer @KamalaHarris Women are breaking through. The ceiling is cracking. Drop all the happy tears you want—we deserve it!

[Rick Wilson @TheRickWilson]

Perfection.

Can we just take one moment and note Hillary's dignity and class through the last four years and into today?

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

Direct cash payments.
Extended unemployment.
Rent relief.
Food assistance.
Aid to small businesses.
Keeping essential frontline workers on the job.

Those are the key elements of my American Rescue Plan.

Biden including a $15 minimum wage in his stimulus plan is huge

Biden moving to abolish the tipped minimum wage and sub-minimum wage for people with disabilities in his stimulus package is even bigger IMO

It's nice that corporations are pausing their PAC donations to the members of congress who incited a violent insurrection, but how about the much larger $$ to super PACs and dark money groups?

And not just pausing access buying, but ending it forever.

Murkowski said she texted her children as rioters stormed the Capitol and told them not to worry, that she was going to be okay.

"I believe that this President has committed an impeachable offense, through his words on the 6th of January and leading up to the 6th of January."

@JoyAnnReid CNN:
“Though Trump, in private, still contends he won the 2020 election, he has fully resigned himself to leaving the White House and entering life as a private citizen—& with it... potential legal exposure and business troubles.”

Absolutely peak schadenfreude.
