Congratulations to President-elect Biden. I have prayed for our President most of my adult life. I will be praying for you and your success. Now is the time to heal deep wounds. Many are counting on you to lead the way.
The President has provoked the disgusting events at the Capitol today. He has gone from creating chaos to inciting insurrection. Mr. President, accept your defeat, go home to Florida and let our elected officials do their jobs and rebuild confidence in our democracy.
We can all disagree on the process, and argue merits. But never should we use terms like “lynching” here. The painful scourge in our history has no comparison to politics, and
@realDonaldTrump
should retract this immediately. May God help us to return to a better way.
Children shouldn’t be used as a negotiating tool.
@realDonaldTrump
should end this heartless policy and Congress should get an immigration deal done that provides for asylum reform, border security and a path to citizenship for Dreamers.
Children are being used by some of the worst criminals on earth as a means to enter our country. Has anyone been looking at the Crime taking place south of the border. It is historic, with some countries the most dangerous places in the world. Not going to happen in the U.S.
I am curious, how do you tell a grandchild (or child if you are younger) to not use profane language when the President of the US and many other public figures use profanity regularly?
"George H.W. Bush took millions of documents to a former bowling alley and a former Chinese restaurant where they combined them. So they're in a bowling alley slash Chinese restaurant."

The media is not the enemy of the people. The freedom of the press is protected by the Constitution. Presidents never enjoy pointed questions from the press, but President Trump should respect their right to ask them and respect Americans enough to answer them.
The White House is reviewing a request by Putin to allow Russian investigators to question a number of Americans they say are implicated in criminal activity there, including a former US ambassador. The news has prompted alarm among former diplomats.
There is no question that Broward County Supervisor of Elections Brenda Snipes failed to comply with Florida law on multiple counts, undermining Floridians’ confidence in our electoral process. Supervisor Snipes should be removed from her office following the recounts.
Sen. John Cornyn, the senior GOP senator from Texas, is critical of his state’s lawsuit challenging the election results in several battleground states, telling me: "I frankly struggle to understand the legal theory of it.”
I have said it before and I will say it again now: the GOP must not tolerate racism. Of any kind. At any time. The appalling behavior by the four GOP County leaders must not stand. I urge them to do the honorable thing and step aside now.
Jerusalem is the capital of Israel and I applaud
@POTUS
for seeing through America’s promise to relocate its embassy there. This is an important show of solidarity with Israel, one of our nation’s greatest allies.

This is heartbreaking. And completely Un-American. The President and Congress need to stop using immigrants and immigration as a political wedge issue. There is a policy solution here.
Congratulations to Governor DeSantis. I hope you beat my margin of victory and win my home county. You have done a very fine job as Governor of the state I love.
The citizens of Venezuela have suffered for too long at the hands of the illegitimate Maduro regime. Today, I have officially recognized the President of the Venezuelan National Assembly, Juan Guaido, as the Interim President of Venezuela.
It’s not enough to condemn

Today's news confirms that 4% growth isn't just aspirational, it's achievable through policies that unleash the power of the market. Credit to

Every time I visit London, I am amazed how biased UK political coverage is by the BBC. Plus, they are incredibly rude to Conservative MPs. All paid for by UK taxpayers. I enjoy their world coverage but why the vitriol when it is about UK politics?
Dave is correct. As Governor, I stated that the manatee was my favorite mammal. I was criticized since humans should be a governor’s top mammal. Watching what goes on in DC these days, makes me wonder. Long live the manatee!
Today would have been Pauline "Robin" Bush's 70th birthday. Her tragic passing on October 12, 1953 from leukemia drove the Bushes' lifelong commitment to helping raise funds for cancer research and treatment.

Conservatives have not been afraid to confront extremism in our world, and we must not be afraid to confront terrorism here at home. Anywhere. Anytime. In any form. My call for unity below:
The poverty of an aspiring immigrant’s nation of origin is as irrelevant as their race. The sentiment attributed to POTUS is inconsistent w/ America’s history and antithetical to American values. May our memory of Dr. King buoy our hope for unity, greatness, & “charity for all.”

I wonder how our medal totals would be if we had an exclusionary immigration system which we have had for the last few years. My heart swells for all of our medalists, including those whose families have come from far off lands to love our country.
The Bush family is grateful for the thousands and thousands of expressions of condolence and love for our precious mother this week, and we thank everyone who joined us today to celebrate her remarkable life.

1. Tariffs on Mexican products are a massive tax on American consumers.
2. Tariffs will eliminate the chance to modernize North American Free Trade Agreement.
3. Mexico retaliation will hurt American farmers and manufacturers.
4. Tariffs are really bad politics for reelection.

Do you know who was the worst interview I ever had? Pres Bush 41 ..he would take no credit for anything he had done in the interview(and he had done so much -eg Berlin Wall coming down) and wanted to give credit to everyone else;he was so humble and such a great man. I miss him.
If you thought prime-time Fox was out of control last night, it's PBS NewsHour compared to what's circulating in Q-adjacent quarters of social media. A friend's very sweet, very Christian mom sent him this:
John McCain’s courageous and selfless lifetime of service is a profile in American exceptionalism. Prayers this evening for the Senator, Cindy and the entire McCain family.
Mr. Room Rater, is it possible now that the election is over to rate rooms on a non partisan basis? Are you a room rater or a hyper partisan person that is the problem? We need less hyper partisanship on backgrounds at this time for our country.
Clapping has been banned at University of Manchester Students’ Union events to avoid triggering anxiety and improve accessibility. Students are instead encouraged to use "jazz hands" to express their support.
to remind you Cloggedhead (???), when I was your Governor, we cut taxes by $18bn, we cut the workforce by 10%, our state lead the nation in job growth, I left office with $8Bn in cash reserves and a AAA rating on our debt. So much for moving to socialism. stay safe.
