@realDonaldTrump
has called Michigan’s legislative leaders to the WH to overturn the will of the Michigan’s voters. This is not just crazy, it’s potentially a crime. I’d turn the plane around. Or wear a wire.
I’m honored that President-elect
@joeBiden
has placed his faith in me as his Energy Secretary nominee. We have an opportunity to build back better while creating millions of jobs — we can do it!
77% of Americans want to keep Roe v. Wade. 83% want to keep the ACA’s protection for people with pre-existing conditions. These two health care issues — will shape the fights for all three branches of government in this election.
@JoeBiden
@KamalaHarris
My sincere thanks to the Senate for your confidence in me. I’m obsessed with creating good-paying clean energy jobs in all corners of America in service of addressing our climate crisis. I’m impatient for results. Now let’s get to work!
I just love that
@JoeBiden
is talking about EV batteries, carbon negative strategies, transmission challenges, BTUs, weatherizing buildings, capturing methane and all manner of clean energy job opportunities ... does
@realDonaldTrump
even know what any of that is?
I believe
@JoeBiden
. Anyone who knows him knows this allegation is antithetical to his character, to the culture in his office, to his soul. He has never been that kind of guy. Ever.
The story has been heard and vetted. No staffer remembers it. No complaint found. Move on.
My sweet, gentle dad died last night. We lost a man of deep integrity, faith, humor, honor. I never heard my dad raise his voice or utter a curse word. But millions of times I heard him laugh at Mom’s jokes. We are so grateful for his 88 years; he is now at peace. I love you Dad.
One thing is certain: America’s electricity grid is simply not able to handle extreme weather events. Whether it’s wildfires in California or snowstorms in Texas, we need to upgrade our grid infrastructure ASAP.
The Supreme Court has signaled tonight that if you have not yet mailed in your ballot, either do it tomorrow, or vote early in person, or drop your ballot at a drop box, not a mailbox. By Wednesday, take no chances with the mail service.
C’mon. Does anyone really think
@joebiden
wants to cut social security?
@BernieSanders
is really stretching here. Washington Post said it was not true. Look at his plan.
If you are a waiter making $25,000 per year, you paid almost twice as much in taxes as
@realDonaldTrump
over the past two years.
You are subsidizing the billionaire.
Strange that
@HowardSchultz
on
@CNN
right now could not say what a fair marginal tax rate would be, just that he doesn’t like
@AOC
’s plan. You’d think he’d have a plan before going on this tour.

@JoeBiden
was magnificent. He soared and carried us all with him. He gave us hope, made us love our country and our fellow Americans. I’m unspeakably grateful for the gift of hope, after four years of anger.
There are 200,000 fewer manufacturing jobs in the U.S. today than when
@realDonaldTrump
took office, according to the jobs report today. He has been a disaster for manufacturing. .

@JoeBiden
still going at it with clarity and precision, now on foreign policy, while
@realDonaldTrump
left the building 15 minutes ago. Stamina anyone?
My grandfather shot himself in desperation when he couldn’t find a job to support his family. My dad was 3 years old at the time. My grandma became a single mom of 3, living in dire rural poverty in a cabin with no running water.
Good-paying jobs are everything. TY

As Michigan's governor, at the time, I can attest to this: Obama-Biden saved our auto industry >>

GOP mayor goes from Trump 2016 to
@JoeBiden
2020:
“I slowly talked myself into it. ‘
@realDonaldTrump
can’t seriously be this deranged once he gets in there,’ and he’s even more deranged now than I thought then. So, I take the blame. I voted for him.”
This
@JoeBiden
speech is focused deeply on the people who are unseen. Those who need help. Those who are hurting. So glad to work for a President who will be a leader for all — from the waiter and the Uber driver to the mom-and-pop store owner and the nurse. All of us.

Lowest jobless claims since COVID began. 5.6 mill jobs created under
@POTUS
- a record for any potus. Record high stock market. Wages up. 70% of adults vaccinated (up from 1% when JB took office). Kids can now get vaccine. Historic infrastructure bill passed. Winning for America!
Help! Michigan needs 5,00-6,000 poll workers for Election Day in November. These are paid positions ($300-$600, depending). Here’s the website to sign up: . Please pass this along!

@JoeBiden
called me when my dad died. It was on Jan 21, 2020, right before the Iowa caucuses. He was busy w/ campaigning, but it didn’t matter. I’ll never forget his pure decency and empathy. My mom, a former Republican, was utterly grateful, and is definitely voting for Joe.
We should have a national day of mourning when we hit the tragic marker of 200,000 COVID deaths. Souls who died alone, for whom we could not have funerals. We should honor them, and give people a way to grieve. With his compassion,
@JoeBiden
could lead it.
"My 88-year-young mother is a life-long Republican. She has NEVER voted for a Democrat. As a sincere conservative Evangelical Christian, she voted for Trump in 2016...This week my mother announced she has decided to vote for Biden!"
Read the whole thing.
I have been seeing so many nice comments on this feed over the past few days, and while I can’t respond to every one please know how grateful I am for the support and the collective commitment to clean energy and a healthy planet. Thank you

@realDonaldTrump
own words at his 2016 nomination:“The most basic duty of government is to defend the lives of its own citizens. Any government that fails to do so is a government unworthy to lead."
I am going to do everything I can to make sure that President

is able to continue the incredible work of
@JoeBiden
: creating more jobs than any POTUS in history; more people insured than at any time in history; most significant climate laws in history;

@realDonaldTrump
’s stoking of violence toward

cannot be shrugged off. I cannot emphasize enough how crazy some people are out there — Threats against a gov happen all the time, but when they are egged on by a president it is truly dangerous.
KNOCK IT OFF!

Please pay no attention to these polls (that I’m guilty of sharing). 4 years ago
@HillaryClinton
was up 25 points over
@BernieSanders
and he won the primary. Just get out and vote!
For me, on this Sunday, this sub-headline is everything—
@POTUS
is serving “the least of these brothers and sisters” Matt. 25:40. It’s why he is the leader for this moment in history, called to serve people who are often unseen.
The world will sleep easier tonight.
@ABlinken
and Jake Sullivan are not just experienced, brilliant and strategic, they are wholly honorable. It’s a new day, folks. Thank you

Stacey Abrams is strong, brilliant and fierce. A warrior for democracy and for everyday Georgians. How lucky you are, GA, to have a compassionate gladiator on your side.
Charlie Rose. Glen Thrush. Al Franken. Donald Trump. Roy Moore. Mark Halperin. Harvey Weinstein.Bill Clinton. George H.W. Bush. Kevin Spacey. Louis C.K. Bill O’Reilly. And so many more.
Women: please run for office.
I love my President
@JoeBiden
as a leader & as a human. It has been the honor of my life to serve in his Administration. It has never been about him; it’s always been about everyday folks, people without power or title. May his grace & selflessness serve as an example to others.
So far this week:
-$750 paid in taxes
-
@realDonaldTrump
debate disaster
-Guilfoyle/Fox pay millions for sexual harassment charge
-Brad Parscale under fed investigation
-Melania tapes
-Trump quarantining for COVID exposure
-48 hours to denounce white supremacy
What’d I miss?
Been doing a deep dive into the Department of

Thank you to the medical staff in ICUs across the country this Christmas morning. Prayers for the families who are opening presents without a loved one lost to COVID. Grateful for the scientists who gave the world the gift of a vaccine to ensure this is the last COVID Christmas.
Thanks Ron — as my mom would say, let’s get crackin’ on adding clean energy to the grid and creating those good paying jobs in communities that have been left behind!
I've known
@JenGranholm
for more than 30 years, so I'm excited to congratulate her on joining the Cabinet! She will help lead our job-creating clean-energy future!
I don’t care how many diet cokes
@realDonaldTrump
drinks. I don’t care how much TV he watches. I deeply care about the 8.9 million children (!!!) losing health care due to the expiration of the State Children’s Health Care Insurance Program under his leadership.
Sounds like the former DOJ prosecutor letter is about to hit a big threshold. I just signed on after the career folks; perhaps you can too, if you are a former DOJ prosecutor who believes
@realDonaldTrump
has obstructed justice: .
Go
@GovWhitmer
- Keep on fighting for Michiganders! They are being penalized by

because he thinks you’re not groveling enough. Unbelievable.
"We need help. We need leadership. And we need to put political differences aside and focus on the real enemy, and that's the virus." - Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer on Pres. Trump criticizing her for asking the federal government for more help fighting the Covid-19 outbreak.

@HillaryClinton
is simply superb. Brilliant, insightful and real. If only .... *sigh*. Thanks
@maddow
for having her on, and for reminding us of real leadership.
Just watched
@HillaryClinton
on Rachel Maddow and my God do I miss her. Eloquent. Smart. Predicted a lot of what we are learning and seeing right now in politics and the meddling of elections.
She would’ve made a great President. (Put it on my tombstone.)
The

Airlines refusing to fly separated children. Protests at Trump hotels. Crowds at airports waiting for children. Sit-ins outside of ICE facilities. Marches planned. Governors refusing to send National Guard troops. Pols leading delegations at the border. This is democracy. More!
