    There it is. @JoeBiden: "When I was Vice President, violent crime fell 15% in this country. We did it without chaos and disorder...The murder rate is up 26% in cities across the nation this year under Donald Trump. Do you feel really safer under Trump?"

    Because of Trump's mismanagement during the pandemic, 3 million Americans have been infected, over 140,000 have died, and tens of millions have lost their jobs. But Donald Trump only expressed sympathy for two people today: Ghislaine Maxwell and Ron DeSantis.

    Speaking not as a Democrat, but a furious North Carolinian, I can’t imagine a more sick, damning invalidation of a candidate: Trump has told a “barrage of lies” & become “one of the country’s leading deceivers” on the “response to Hurricane Helene” #ncpol

    .@ABC today: "Wholesale shoppers like small businesses were paying over $8 for a dozen eggs last week." abcnews.go.com/Business/70000… @JDVance in September: "Now, a dozen eggs will cost you around $4 thanks to Kamala Harris' inflationary policies"

    .@SpeakerJohnson to @FoxNews on 7/1: "Unless the president is reading off a teleprompter, I don't think he's capable of making these big decisions." Speaker Johnson today after his teleprompter malfunctions: "And there goes the teleprompter..." [walks off to triumphant music]

    Marjorie Taylor Green fact checked this @WhiteHouse lie earlier today: "Prices have not come down. That is a reality. Peoples' wages have not gone up. That's another reality."

    Trump: We are bringing down grocery prices. But the big thing is energy. When you bring down energy, everything comes down.

    Voted in first Dem primary to support party dedicated to restoring values in WH. I agree with @amyklobuchar: We need candidate who cares about all Americans and will restore decency, dignity to the office. There is a reason Trump fears @joebiden and roots for Bernie. #Biden2020

    On March 19 - the exact same day that Trump admitted to Bob Woodward, "I wanted to always play it down" - Joe Biden warned that Trump was downplaying COVID-19 and that it made him "unfit to lead us through this crisis."

    The words of a president matter, and Donald Trump has used his to downplay COVID-19 and mislead the American people. He is unfit to lead us through this crisis.
