I want to share a brief update.
My presidential memoir, PROMISE ME, AMERICA, is coming out on November 17th. I hope you'll read it. It covers my years as President. The challenges we faced, the decisions I made, and why I made them. It's about who we are as a nation. What we stand for. And America's role in the world. More than anything, it's about my faith in the American people and the great American experiment in self-governance and democracy.
While writing the book, I was diagnosed with cancer, a disease known all too well to millions of Americans and their families. My doctors continue to be encouraged by how I've responded to treatment. And the prayers and kind words and well wishes from so many of you have meant more to me and Jill and our family than you can ever know.
Some days are better than others. It hasn't stopped me. But sometimes it slows me down. What that means is, unfortunately, I won’t be able to do as many conversations about my book as I’d hoped. However, I’m hopeful the words on the page speak for themselves.
Looking forward, I'm going to keep following what my father told me a long time ago: "Champ, when you get knocked down, get up." It's a good lesson for me. And for America.
We are blessed. America is the most unique nation on earth. Unlike other countries, we're built on an idea. An idea bigger than any ocean. More powerful than any army. Stronger than any tyrant or dictator. That idea? All of us are created equal.
Promise Me, America, we'll never forget it.
At some point, we have to talk about @CookPolitical and other “prognosticators” who had me and other southern candidates labeled as solid R for much of the campaign cycle. They made it much more difficult to fundraise and are part of the reason the South has been neglected for so long.
They’re only a reflection of the past and mysteriously avoid any accountability when they’re wrong. One of their “analysts” was extremely condescending to me (not Jessica) when I tried to make my pitch for why they were wrong about my rating like he knew something about MS politics when he’s never been to the Sip. This attitude hurt Jaime Davis & others so much.
"Before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear."🙏✝️
The verse reminds us that God is omniscient (all-knowing) and aware of your needs, thoughts, and prayers even before you put them into words.
Lord, thank You for You already know my heart and my needs before I even speak them. I rest in the peace that You are listening and working on my behalf ahead of time. Please guide my steps today, align my desires with Your will, and let me feel Your presence and care in everything I do. Amen.🙏
Today in group they just informed us that the topic is going to be “heavy”, so now I’m internally screaming while I casually shake my head like “yeah nothing to see here”
BREAKING: Financial analysts call for a bailout as the AI bubble begins to pop.
Just last year, healthcare and food assistance were cut to give tech corporations and billionaires tax breaks.
More programs and services are likely to be cut if a bailout drains further revenue.
