Please let this be true today:

“There was always just enough virtue in this Republic to save it; sometimes none to spare, but still enough to meet the emergency.” —William Seward, Secretary of State during the civil war.

@Timodc Feeling better now 💪?

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

A courageous and selfless decision. The President did what he’s done for the last four years - he listened to the American people and put the country’s interests ahead of his own.

The exact opposite of Donald Trump.

[David Axelrod @davidaxelrod]

.@JoeBiden has served our country with all his heart and great distinction for more than half a century. History will honor him for his many extraordinary accomplishments as president AND for the terribly difficult and selfless decision he made today.
He understands what Donald Trump does not.
Our country is bigger than any one person--even the president of the United States.

[Jon Stewart @jonstewart]

Legend.

Pete sums it up in a sentence.

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

Joe Biden has earned his place among the best and most consequential presidents in American history.

I am so proud to serve under his leadership, and thankful for his unwavering focus on what is best for our country.

[Michelle Brence @mbrence]

This could not have been an easy decision. Thank you for serving our country.

[Dr. Jill Biden @DrBiden]

[Michelle Brence @mbrence]

@JoeBiden Thank you for serving and putting your country first. This is what true patriotism looks like. Now let’s save the country from authoritarianism.

She'll save 24 hours in travel time and won't have to pay for a hotel in Minneapolis or spend the night at the airport. We had been unable to find a hotel that would let her check in at age 20, even with my credit card. #Relieved #ThankYouDelta

Big shoutout to @Delta for excellent customer service. My son's girlfriend, visiting the U.S. from Japan for the first time, somehow booked her return flight through Minneapolis with a 16-hour layover. Kind and efficient Delta agents helped me get her routed through Seattle.

The number of guns in America has tripled since 1970 to 400,000,000. And over two dozen states have stripped permitting requirements. Now the US has a 26 times higher gun homicide rate than any peer nation.

So when do the guns start making us safer? https://t.co/rY1on3JmhP

@SEOPollyAnna Same! Eastern Oregon is one of the best places on Earth. I wish the story had done more than skim the surface on why it’s special and what fuels frustrations there.
