I went to the Senate floor today to talk about the Republican plan to quickly pass another massive tax cut for the wealthy, paid for by cutting services for seniors on Medicare and kids on Medicaid. Maybe the cruelest, most dangerous plan they've ever had.
Remember that time Trump bribed Pam Bondi to not join a fraud lawsuit brought against the criminal conman for ripping off students who paid money for courses at his scam Trump University? I do. 😳👇
We will never regret suing to remove Donald Trump from the ballot under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. We believed then, just as we do today, that he is ineligible to hold office for his role in the January 6th insurrection. https://t.co/QtqBSTC4Hy
President Biden inherited a country rocked by a pandemic and an economic crisis and helped us recover from both, among many other achievements.
Much will be written about his legacy, but for now, let's start with: Thank you, Joe.
Four years ago, in the middle of a pandemic, we needed a leader with the character to put politics aside and do what was right. That’s what @JoeBiden did.
At a time when our economy was reeling, he drove what would become the world’s strongest recovery – with 17 million new jobs, historic wage gains, and lower health care costs. He passed landmark legislation to rebuild our nation’s infrastructure and address the threat of climate change.
I’m grateful to Joe for his leadership, his friendship, and his lifetime of service to this country we love.
Biden says farewell: "After 50 years of public service, I give you my word: I still believe in the idea for which this nation stands..now it's your turn to stand guard. May you be the keeper of the flame. May you keep the faith. I love America. You love it too. God bless you all"
He is right; @jamie_raskin comments on the sexual abusers coming into power, but the Republicans can only scapegoat immigrants. The wealthy and powerful should be held to the same standard as immigrants.

This is Former Arizona GOP Speaker of the House Rusty Bowers. He resisted Donald Trump's pressure to overturn the 2020 election results in Arizona and was later voted out of office for standing up for our democracy.
RETWEET to thank Bowers for putting country over party!
Can all Americans, left and right, agree on these common-sense reforms proposed by Biden this even during his farewell address?
- A ban on stock trading in Congress.
- An 18-year term limit for Supreme Court Justices, paired with ethics reform.
- An end to dark money in politics.
- A constitutional amendment ensuring no president is immune from crimes committed in office.
