My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.

Congressman Roger Williams had $1,445,978 in PPP loans forgiven.
Biden has cleared another $7.7 billion in student loans for 160,000 borrowers. He is doubling down on his attempt to sidestep Congress and SCOTUS to transfer enormous student loan debt onto hard-working Americans. Watch on @NEWSMAX ⬇️ youtube.com/watch?v=e1J42v1b…
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The forgiveness being referenced by the representative was authorized by Congress in 2007, meaning it is not “sidestepping” Congress, and that opponents have had almost 17 years to sue, but SCOTUS hasn’t overturned the law. congress.gov/110/statute/ST…

Let this sink in—Virginia, once the home of the Confederacy, home of Confederate General Robert E Lee, and home of the oldest Southern slave plantation—will now have its 1st Black Speaker of the House! @DonScott757 is ready to rock!

It's the last sine die for @KumarBarve and @DelDBarnes, and the first for freshman lawmakers — including @SarahSWolek, who was sworn in last week. Cheers erupt as @iamwesmoore and @arunamiller stop by. (Sadly, I'm in the gallery and didn't see the visit.) For @CNSmd:

“I had to answer the question famously asked by The Clash: should I stay or should I go?” jokes @KumarBarve Members of the House took some time to recognize the hard work of @DelDBarnes and Del. Barve on their last sine die tonight. @CNSmd

For young voters: 🙏
NEW: data confirms 18-29-year-olds voted for Democrats more than *any other* age group yesterday. Young people literally prevented a Red Wave & saved Democrats. Full stop. If you know a young voter, please thank them.

This is Hitoshi Igarashi, a Japanese scholar of Arabic and Persian literature. He was murdered in 1991 for translating Salman Rushdie's novel. Translators have lost their lives for books.

David did a GREAT JOB defending my that prevents gasoline car drivers from parking in electric car charging spots! #ElectricVehicles
This is really great news. As a your colleague in the House and as a cancer survivor myself, I’m proud to serve with you. We have so much more to accomplish and I look forward to working with you for a long time to come.
It’s officially been five years since I completed chemotherapy, and the doctors are now comfortable saying that I’m cured from lymphoma. I’m eternally grateful to the doctors, the nurses, and everyone who has had my back at some point over the last half-decade. Onward!

I’m humbled to receive the endorsements of @SenBillFerg and @Mfume4Congress in #CherryHill in Baltimore today. You can’t have a thriving Maryland without a growing #Baltimore. We will work together to build a state where no one is left behind. #MooreForMaryland #Moorementum

For a Tesla 1 kwh = 4 miles. So, 200 miles costs ~$7.50!
Spotted in Denver. Talk about a sea change moment.
