[Naomi Biden @NaomiBiden]

I’m nothing but proud today of my Pop, our President, Joe Biden, who has served our country with every bit of his soul and with unmatched distinction. Not only has he been—and will continue to be—the most effective president of our lifetime, but he has likely already cemented himself as the most effective and impactful public servant in our nation’s history. He has been at the center of, and had a material impact on, literally every single major issue that our country and world has faced for 50 years. Our world is better today in so many ways thanks to him. To the Americans who have always had his back, keep the faith. He will always have ours.

[Liz Cheney @Liz_Cheney]

The framers of our Constitution knew that our republic would endure only if our presidents have the character and honor to put duty ahead of self interest. President Biden deserves our gratitude for his decades of service to our nation and for his courageous decision today.

‘Parks & Recreation’ star Joe Biden has announced he will no longer be running for President.

[S. Fathima @opusana]

Forever grateful.

[George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 @gtconway3d]

.@JoeBiden is a patriot. He has selflessly served this Nation with distinction for a half a century, and stepped forward to save it in 2020. We Americans again owe him our deepest thanks and respect for putting the country above all else once again.

Thank you, Mr. President.

[S. Fathima @opusana]

@JoeBiden We show such little grace for the time it takes a weathered elderly statesman to explore how best to serve his country one more time, perhaps with some of his trademark stubborn resolve.

Notably and with irony indeed, the wait was longer than the young could weather.

A statement from our CEO @JReckford on former President Carter’s health: https://t.co/qJY8Q7jhFt

[David Axelrod @davidaxelrod]

Very sad news about a remarkable man and a great American, who has done so much for the world.
Thinking of President Carter and his family.

Manchester United shares the sorrow of the entire nation following the announcement from Buckingham Palace on the passing of Her Royal Highness The Queen Elizabeth II.

1/ My friend Jon Haidt @JonHaidt has written the MOST important article you can read today...

"Why the Past 10 Years of American Life Have Been Uniquely Stupid––it's not just a phase"

[Packy McCormick @packyM]

Read this one.

Hadrian builds semi-automated factories that build precision parts for rockets and satellites.

It just raised $90M from a16z, Lux, & Founders Fund.

@2112Power wants to reverse American decline and keep the solar system free.

#WillSmith says he wants to be a vessel for love. Love is not violent. Love is not what was displayed on a global stage tonight. #Oscars

@GovMurphy @GovMurphy I grew up in NJ in the 1990s and 2000s, and was bullied, teased and marginalized by adults and children alike for displays of my ethnicity - incl. smelling like “curry”.

You have no idea how validating it is to hear from my state’s Governor today. Thanks.

[Padma Lakshmi @PadmaLakshmi]

So I had a few thoughts on that piece in the @washingtonpost about Indian food… 😏

@NikkiHaley Gov Haley - give me a break!!?? Your administration did the same.

No one’s happy about what is transpiring in Afghanistan, but part of being a leader in OUR country is talking to and dealing with foreign delegations you’d prefer not to.

[Helen James @Nenster]

[Susie Dent @susie_dent]

I wish I had the words to describe the exceptional man that was Sean Lock. But today I don’t, and I think he might have liked it that way.

[Jimmy Carr @jimmycarr]

Brutal news about Sean Lock today.
I loved him. I’m watching clips of him right now - laughing & crying. I’ll miss him so much.

[S. Fathima @opusana]

@crepycidon @daveatherton @JoeBiden Didn’t realize we suddenly started caring about the rape, enslavement, and murdering of women.

Newsflash - we’ve made women weaker & more vulnerable to rape, enslavement, and violence *everywhere* in the world, including right here at home. Taliban not necessary for that.

[Ayesha Noor @AyeshaNRashid]

A thread…

The Taliban claims they will guarantee women’s rights “under the limits of Islam.” As a Muslim woman, I don’t believe a word they say. But let me tell you about the guarantees Islam makes for women, and you’ll see why I don’t believe the Taliban.
