A good, unifying speech—and not too long. That was refreshing. We’ll disagree a lot, and I’ll hold President-elect Biden accountable, but I firmly believe liberty can flourish only in an environment of mutual respect and trust among Americans.
Part of the beauty of a democratic republic is that no one person gets to decide the president. You can be disappointed your candidate lost(I’m disappointed my candidate loses every election) but be happy the people get to decide and not one person. Others aren’t so lucky.
I would implore @justinamash to explore running for LP National Leadership. Someone like Amash could give a lot of credibility to a party that quite frankly has never seemed to care to attain it. The LP needs a clear and digestible platform, something I know Amash could achieve.
No matter the outcome of this incredibly close race, I hope that this scenario makes voters ask how we can better make our democratic republic work for us. America NEEDS multiparty elections, and I hope to see ballot initiatives in key states in the future.
Police shot Jacob Blake several times in the back. There must be a full and fair investigation. There must be justice. Congress and state legislatures must act on policing and justice reforms that protect the rights and safety of the people.
Today is Juneteenth. The day we celebrate the liberation of the last remaining people held in bondage. This date deserves to be recognized in the pantheon of American holidays, which reminds us of our Constitutional objective to create a “more perfect union.”
Excited to announce that @RepPressley will co-lead the bill to end qualified immunity. We’ll work relentlessly to build support within Congress for this critical legislation. Police must be held accountable when they violate people’s rights.
For many reasons, America has become a divisive mess. The legwork for societal and economic advancement has been halted.
But when your ship is sinking, you don’t jump off, you grab a bucket.
Talk soon.
Rapper Killer Mike made an emotional plead with Atlanta demonstrators to “not burn your own house down for anger with an enemy”: “We don’t want to see targets burning. We want to see the system that sets up for systemic racism burned to the ground” https://t.co/65NDumzX6j
I will moderate the @LPNational's pre-nomination Presidential Debate tomorrow night!
Hear their answers to pressing questions about America's future, and how libertarians would govern very differently.

After much reflection, I’ve concluded that circumstances don’t lend themselves to my success as a candidate for president this year, and therefore I will not be a candidate.
