15 years ago I flew to Indianapolis with @BarackObama for his last campaign stop. We felt unexpectedly calm, knowing over the last 21 months we had done all we could do and we had faith that the American people would put their faith in him.

- Someone asked me today how would @BarackObama have handled this crisis? Answer in one word - Better. Ok, two words. Much better.
- After four years of defending ridiculously divisive nonsense, one rather unhinged speech does not save you, @LindseyGrahamSC. You will forever be on the wrong side of history.
- Free advice. Don’t blame your kids when you exercise horrible judgment.
- The Hatch Act is a law designed to separate politics from public service. Those lines are being erased tonight.
- History should remember the incredibly 17 year old Darnella Frazier who had the strength and composure to capture the murder of #georgefloyd on video. Without her video there may never have been #justice.
- How inspiring was that? Hearing from @BarackObama as he inspired the young leaders of tomorrow. #GraduateTogether
- “We will never have to watch Donald Trump debate again”. @StephenAtHome
- Not only is @IlhanMN a duly elected member of Congress, and an American citizen, but she is also a mom. What kind of person would put her and her family in harms way?You may shoot me with your words, You may cut me with your eyes, You may kill me with your hatefulness, But still, like air, I’ll rise. -Maya Angelou
- The President made history! The first time a president has been impeached by the House of Representatives twice. So well deserved.
- If the @BarackObama Administration made testing harder how did we manage to test 1 million people within the first month of the H1N1 outbreak? Why did you dismantle the White House office @BarackObama created in NSC post Embola? Why did you cut funding to CDC? Come on!For decades the @CDCgov looked at, and studied, its testing system, but did nothing about it. It would always be inadequate and slow for a large scale pandemic, but a pandemic would never happen, they hoped. President Obama made changes that only complicated things further.....

- Forever this portrait of @BarackObama hanging in the @WhiteHouse will remind America of power of hope and change.
