If I get 1 viral tweet in life I hope this is it. My wife married an athlete, who had limitless energy and was a true partner. Then came ALS and she had to dress, shower and care for me. She has borne these burdens with incredible courage and strength. I love you @sabrevaya.

Biden doesn’t want his presidency to be all about Trump, w investigations. He “just wants to move on,” per an aide. Another notes “strong school of thought that believes the law's the law.” All say Biden won’t tell DoJ what to do. w @kwelkernbc @mikememoli nbcnews.com/politics/justice…

Biden hopes to avoid divisive Trump investigations, preferring unity

Biden has told aides that he's concerned that investigations would divide the country but that he would leave decisions up to an independent Justice Department.

Fox decision desk guru just told Fox & Friends he'd rather be Biden than Trump in Michigan and Wisconsin and that if Biden wins those states -- threw in Nevada for good measure -- Biden is the next president.

GOP outperformed Dems in Pinellas by about 21K votes on Election Day, so I’m gonna say it’s safe to say Pinellas will go blue.
