[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

At long last, the Assad regime has fallen.

The fall of this regime is a fundamental act of justice.

It is a moment of historic opportunity for the long-suffering people of Syria to build a better future for their country.

It is also a moment of risk and uncertainty.

[Ed Davey @EdwardJDavey]

Today, I asked the Prime Minister about how he plans to address President-elect Trump's troubling praise for Putin's illegal invasion of Ukraine and his reckless stance on NATO.

The UK must lead in Europe to ensure strong support for Ukraine and uphold our shared security.

[Arnold Schwarzenegger @Schwarzenegger]

I don’t really do endorsements. I’m not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians.

I also understand that people want to hear from me because I am not just a celebrity, I am a former Republican Governor.

My time as Governor taught me to love policy and ignore politics. I’m proud of the work I did to help clean up our air, create jobs, balance the budget, make the biggest infrastructure investment in state history, and take power from the politicians and give it back to the people when it comes to our redistricting process and our primaries in California.

That’s policy. It requires working with the other side, not insulting them to win your next election, and I know it isn’t sexy to most people, but I love it when I can help make people’s lives better with policies, like I still do through my institute at USC, where we fight for clean air and stripping the power from the politicians who rig the system against the people.

Let me be honest with you: I don’t like either party right now. My Republicans have forgotten the beauty of the free market, driven up deficits, and rejected election results. Democrats aren’t any better at dealing with deficits, and I worry about their local policies hurting our cities with increased crime.

It is probably not a surprise that I hate politics more than ever, which, if you are a normal person who isn’t addicted to this crap, you probably understand.

I want to tune out.

But I can’t. Because rejecting the results of an election is as un-American as it gets. To someone like me who talks to people all over the world and still knows America is the shining city on a hill, calling America is a trash can for the world is so unpatriotic, it makes me furious.

And I will always be an American before I am a Republican.

That’s why, this week, I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

I’m sharing it with all of you because I think there are a lot of you who feel like I do. You don’t recognize our country. And you are right to be furious.

For decades, we’ve talked about the national debt. For decades, we’ve talked about comprehensive immigration reform that secures the border while fixing our broken immigration system. And Washington does nothing.

The problems just keep rolling, and we all keep getting angrier, because the only people that benefit from problems aren’t you, the people. The only people that benefit from this crap are the politicians who prefer having talking points to win elections to the public service that will make Americans’ lives better.

It is a just game to them. But it is life for my fellow Americans. We should be pissed!

But a candidate who won’t respect your vote unless it is for him, a candidate who will send his followers to storm the Capitol while he watches with a Diet Coke, a candidate who has shown no ability to work to pass any policy besides a tax cut that helped his donors and other rich people like me but helped no one else else, a candidate who thinks Americans who disagree with him are the bigger enemies than China, Russia, or North Korea - that won’t solve our problems.

It will just be four more years of bullshit with no results that makes us angrier and angrier, more divided, and more hateful.

We need to close the door on this chapter of American history, and I know that former President Trump won’t do that. He will divide, he will insult, he will find new ways to be more un-American than he already has been, and we, the people, will get nothing but more anger.

That’s enough reason for me to share my vote with all of you. I want to move forward as a country, and even though I have plenty of disagreements with their platform, I think the only way to do that is with Harris and Walz.

Vote this week. Turn the page and put this junk behind us.

And even if you disagree with me, vote, because that’s what we do as Americans. https://t.co/eHFZ723I4H

A great decision by Joe Biden. He has many things he should be justly proud of - particularly in his economic record. All eyes now on the Democrats to find a great future President. An incredibly important decision and the correct one. 🙏

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.

A change of management is a good result for Britain. Labour’s momentous win offers Sir Keir Starmer a huge opportunity. He must take it https://t.co/GzUkfQ4X0V

[Mohamed A. El-Erian @elerianm]

The two main takeaways from the #UK #GeneralElections so far:
First, and foremost, a huge #LabourParty victory as voter support for the #Conservatives collapsed, including several former cabinet members losing their seats.
Second, within this historic result for Labour, a note of caution to the big established parties in Britain and elsewhere as demonstrated by the low voter turnout (down some 7 percentage points), the support gained by several small parties, and the impact of some independent candidates.

[The Economist @TheEconomist]

Labour has won a landslide victory in Britain’s #GeneralElection2024, an exit poll indicates.

UK inflation for April was 2.3%, down from 3.2% in March and the lowest in three years.

This was hotter than the consensus forecast of 2.1% due to services inflation (goods inflation was negative).

The markets' immediate reaction was to lower the probability of a June rate cut to under 20% and strengthen the currency.
