To be clear: Joe Biden is NOT going to raise taxes on anyone who makes LESS THAN $400,000 a year. If you make more than $400,000 a year & Biden is the President, your taxes will go up b/c he believes the wealthiest people in this country have to pay their fair share.
Ready to serve accurately describes how I feel. Thank you Madam Vice President-elect
@KamalaHarris
for entrusting me with this charge. It has been the honor of my life to work for
@JoeBiden
& I am elated to have the opportunity to continue to that work in the PEOPLE'S HOUSE.
The Trump campaign manipulated a video from
@JoeBiden
’s speech today because they could not challenge the content of the speech. This is their game. They cannot and will not compete on the facts.
Joe Biden went to Kenosha today and did what a president should. He listened and centered the people in the community. He did not incite, he brought calm. Basically, Joe Biden went to Kenosha today and did what Donald Trump has never - brought people together.
Vice President Biden spent his career fighting alongside and for the African American community. He won his party's nomination by earning every vote and meeting people where they are and that's exactly what he intends to do this November. 1/
What the President tweeted in regards to Texas is reckless, dangerous and an intimidation tactic. It’s not something we should come to accept from our leaders. The people of our great country have the opportunity to turn the corner here. VOTE. HIM. OUT.
If you are up, please turn on your tv (
@MSNBC
) and listen to the leader of the Dem caucus, Hakeem Jeffries. He is delivering an amazing speech right now. He is not using a prompter. Just paper and passion.
Canceling my AMC membership because there isn’t anything political about wearing a mask. It’s just a GOOD PUBLIC HEALTH PRACTICE THAT WILL HELP SAVE LIVES!
Good morning to the everyone, but especially the voters who turned out to have their voices heard. Turnout is UP! Oh...and we won EVERY 👏🏾 DAMN 👏🏾 COUNTY 👏🏾!!!!!
Conservative activists are claiming the first Black president in Harvard’s 387 year history is an affirmative action hire & actually not qualified for the job. Folks…Black women do not get jobs only white men have ever had by being mediocre and unqualified. Not happening.
Also AN ALL LADY SQUAD?! I am excited to serve alongside

@JoeBiden
isn’t waiting to give the country the leadership they want & need. He’s stepping up now. These mayors have had to deal with so much over the last few weeks & months. As President, Joe Biden will be a true partner in the White House for mayors across the country.
Biden will have a virtual roundtable today at 1 p.m. with Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, and St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter, his campaign says. Usually it would be the president convening such key mayors.
I have the great honor to announce that I’ve picked
@KamalaHarris
— a fearless fighter for the little guy, and one of the country’s finest public servants — as my running mate.
😅 yesterday we heard DA Willis’ father was elderly and a little sick. We did not hear that he was a lawyer. A trailblazing lawyer at that! Now he’s on the stand in Georgia.
The comments made at the end of the Breakfast Club interview were in jest, but let’s be clear about what the VP was saying: he was making the distinction that he would put his record with the African American community up against Trump’s any day. Period.
Last night, we came together to honor and remember the lives lost to COVID-19. Today we will come together to begin turning the page. Today, we officially start the work.
When will the
@nytimes
have the same energy for Trump as they do for VP Biden? The paper is working over time to make Trump sound coherent. We are in the middle of a pandemic & he has bungled the response, but please drag us for our video conferencing software. Priorities right?
I just have to say one more thing: it’s terrifying
@K_JeanPierre
had to put her body on the line today for a sitting United States Senator and presidential candidate. It should have never happened and I hope everyone is more vigilant and taking security seriously.
“But don’t worry my sister, God has got you. And how do I know that? Because you are here and I know what it has taken to sit in that seat.” - Senator
@CoryBooker
to Judge Jackson today.
Thank you Senator for saying what needed to be said.
I was raised Baptist. I vividly remember every now & then, my father (whom I’m convinced was a biblical scholar) would skip service when there was a specific guest preacher. After a while I asked why. I’ll never forget his words: “you gotta be careful who you let preach to you.”
If you know me, you know I am a proud daughter of North Omaha, Nebraska.
Today is special because the street I grew up on, the street where my parents own their home, was renamed:
22nd and Sprague is now “Symone D. Sanders St.” 🥹🙏🏾
A Supreme Court justice’s spouse was a part of an active plot to overturn the most recent presidential election and participated in a rally that led to an insurrection in our nation’s Capitol. This won’t be the top news story today, but it matters.
In honor of the first day of Black History Month, I want to thank my boo
@donlemon
for making this clip a classic and
@ScottJenningsKY
for understanding the assignment.🤣
#BHM
I’m baffled. Trump knew in early Feb this was a grave threat, but repeatedly said the virus would go away with warmer weather, this wasn’t any worse than the common flu and shunned wearing masks. Americans are dead & on top of it all, he’s trying to take way folks’ health care.
#MyNameIs
Symone, which means “to be heard” and since 1989 I’ve been speaking truth to power. I truly believe my vote is my voice <— not a joke! That’s why I am fired up and

@amyklobuchar
I hope you know this doesn’t get you out of any Women for Biden events especially in Minnesota! 🙂 Grateful for your introspection, your passion & your insight. We appreciate all you’ve done for our campaign Senator!! Happy to be in this fight with you!
McCain’s claim to fame is her father’s legacy - not anything she does/did. Honestly, it’s so unsettling she gets the PRIVILEGE to sit at the table day in & day out pontificating about things she has heard or the work other ppl have done especially in politics. Joy is a saint btw.
Joe Biden says, "I’m not going to be talking about anything other than 9/11. It’s a solemn day, and that’s how we’re gonna keep it." Notes his campaign pulled down all advertising today. He and Jill will visit the 9/11 Memorial in NYC and Shanksville, PA. (Video shot by pool)
This is the President of the United States of America threatening to shoot people in Minneapolis. Vote please. Request your absentee ballots. Do whatever you can wherever you can. Now is the time. I am logging off.

@JoeBiden
&
@DrBiden
are a class act. Over the course of this campaign, Vice President Biden is going to make his case to the American ppl. He won’t always be perfect, but I believe he will get it right. PS - all stock photos aren’t created equal 😆.
One thing Democrats could do—with basically no strategic downside—is to hammer home the message that voters should ask for and return their mail ballots as early as possible, which makes it more likely they'll be included in tallies on election night.
Y’all, stop sending me that hilariously ridiculous and inaccurate Axios article please. We are busy trying to earn the support of voters. Idk if you have noticed but there are elections tomorrow, March 17th and beyond. Thanks! ✌🏾
But the President requires everyone around him to be tested, right? Hmm...sounds like one standard for the White House and another standard for the rest of America.
In my thirty-five years in the Foreign Service across the world, I put a Cajun spin on it. I call it Gumbo diplomacy.
Wherever I was posted, I’d invite people of all walks then make homemade gumbo. Thats how you break down barriers, connect, and see each-other as humans.
Every major network carried Trump live but none carried either of Biden’s two events today where he addressed police brutality. Total journalistic malpractice & repeat of 2016
It's pronounced COMMA-LA, sir. Actually Senator COMMA-LA. And...after November 3rd, you will hopefully be able to call her Vice President COMMA-LA of the United States of America.
1. What’s humiliating is the cape you blindly put on for the senator for Vermont everyday (he voted for the bill) 2. no one defended the crime bill 3. you have my #. Lest you continue to be petty on the internet. Don’t personally attack me Shaun. I hope now we are clear.
Trump: When you do testing to that extent, you’re going to find more people. You’re going to find more cases. So I said to my people slow the testing down please.
This is a lie. The unemployment rate under Trump for Black Americans at its lowest was 5.9% & that was August of 2019. In 2020 the last year of Trump’s presidency it was 16.8%
The “lowest ever” was under Biden at 5% in April 2023. The lowest since the 1970s. Remarkable given…

@JoeBiden
did not praise a segregationist. That is a disingenuous take. He basically said sometimes in Congress, one has to work with terrible or down right racist folks to get things done. And then went on to say when you can't work with them, work around them.
