🚨 Biographer Franklin Foer wrote that @JoeBiden wasn’t just America’s president—he was the West’s father figure. World leaders called him for advice, relied on his clarity, and followed his lead against authoritarianism.
"It was his calming presence and his strategic clarity that helped lead the alliance to such an aggressive stance, which stymied authoritarianism on its front lines. He was a man for his age.”
With Biden gone, we now see the fractures. The void. The weakness.
History will rightly remember Biden as the leader who held the free world together.
BREAKING: Biden’s Full op-ed on January 6th:
On this Jan. 6, order will be called. Clerks, staff and members of Congress will gather to certify the results of a free and fair presidential election and ensure a peaceful transfer of power. Capitol Police will stand guard over the citadel of our democracy.
The vice president of the United States, faithful to her duty under our Constitution, will preside over the certification of her opponent’s victory in the November election.
It is a ceremony that for more than two centuries has made America a beacon to the world, a ceremony that ratifies the will of the voters.
For much of our history, this proceeding was treated as pro forma, a routine act. But after what we all witnessed on Jan. 6, 2021, we know we can never again take it for granted.
Violent insurrectionists attacked the Capitol, threatened the lives of elected officials and assaulted brave law enforcement officers.
We should be proud that our democracy withstood this assault. And we should be glad we will not see such a shameful attack again this year.
But we should not forget. We must remember the wisdom of the adage that any nation that forgets its past is doomed to repeat it. We cannot accept a repeat of what occurred four years ago.
An unrelenting effort has been underway to rewrite — even erase — the history of that day.
To tell us we didn’t see what we all saw with our own eyes. To dismiss concerns about it as some kind of partisan obsession. To explain it away as a protest that just got out of hand.
This is not what happened.
In time, there will be Americans who didn’t witness the Jan. 6 riot firsthand but will learn about it from footage and testimony of that day, from what is written in history books and from the truth we pass on to our children. We cannot allow the truth to be lost.
Thousands of rioters crossed the National Mall and climbed the Capitol walls, smashing windows and kicking down doors. Just blocks away, a bomb was found near the location of the incoming vice president, threatening her life. Law enforcement officials were beaten, dragged, knocked unconscious and stomped upon. Some police officers ultimately died as a result.
As president-elect that day, I spoke to the country and called for peace, and for the certification to resume.
Four years later, leaving office, I am determined to do everything I can to respect the peaceful transfer of power and restore the traditions we have long respected in America. The election will be certified peacefully. I have invited the incoming president to the White House on the morning of Jan. 20, and I will be present for his inauguration that afternoon.
But on this day, we cannot forget. This is what we owe those who founded this nation, those who have fought for it and died for it.
And we should commit to remembering Jan. 6, 2021, every year. To remember it as a day when our democracy was put to the test and prevailed. To remember that democracy — even in America — is never guaranteed.
We should never forget it is our democracy that makes everything possible — our freedoms, our rights, our liberties, our dreams. And that it falls to every generations of Americans to defend and protect it.
🎄 Take a moment to watch this heartwarming Christmas video from President Biden.
A beautiful reminder of the normalcy, kindness, and decency his administration has brought.
We’re truly going to miss him.
Trump chose another out-of-touch lackey in Dr. Oz to lead the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. He believes that Americans have no “right to health”, and will help Trump gut Medicare.
This is a disaster for seniors and hardworking Americans.
To those attacking my president, let me remind you that Joseph R. Biden Jr. is the only person alive to ever take down Donald Trump.
Let that sink in. Put some respect on his name. 💯
I'm afraid that one day we're going to find out that this election was horribly compromised, and it will be long after it will be able to help save the democracy we're losing or the people imperiled because of it.
By @jerushahruth:
“Trump's words and actions are fundamentally incompatible with evangelical principles. Contrary to some who claim he has been anointed by God to lead; Trump cannot return the U.S. to faithfulness. Sadly, by embracing such a megalomaniac, Christians have been turning away those who are curious about the Lord. We lose credibility when we say God is love, but then rally, and sometimes even riot, in support of an individual whose entire worldview centers on himself.”

To all of the much older, and male advisors to Trump who don’t believe and have said he does not have the capacity or character to be the Commander in Chief…this is what grace and courage looks like…now is the time
Ret. U.S. Brig. Gen. Steve Anderson blasted Donald Trump and endorsed Vice President Harris:
“I saw firsthand the disaster of Donald Trump’s leadership in Afghanistan… This is a guy who doesn't understand NATO. He thinks it's like joining a country club”
Let’s be clear: This is illegal and unconstitutional. The American people had voted. The courts had ruled. The Electoral College had met and voted. The Governor in every state had certified the results and sent a legal slate of electors to the Congress to be counted. The Vice President has no constitutional authority to tell states to submit alternative slates of electors because his candidate lost. That is tyranny. Our institutions held on Jan 6 because Mike Pence refused to violate his oath to the Constitution. Trump picked JD Vance because Vance will do whatever Trump wants, including violating the Constitution. They are both far too dangerous to serve. It’s our duty to stop them.
Q. Would you have certified the 2020 election?
JD Vance: No. “I would have asked the states to submit alternative slates of electors and ask the country to have a debate”
Disqualifying

BREAKING: Donald Trump just announced if he wins, he will lift sanctions on Russia and Iran. This is why Putin was paying millions to Republican influencers. He’s bought control of Trump’s party. Retweet so all Americans see this alarming announcement.
