Donald—you’re out of work and I know I offered you a job.
But your performance this past week was tragic and sad.
Offer rescinded.

I swear, this government has gotten so cruel. I just heard they’re even kicking Donald Trump out of public housing.

The flood of congratulatory statements from our allies is testament to both how disastrous the last four year have been for global security, but also how our friends believe that Joe Biden is singularly positioned to repair and reclaim American global leadership.

Fifth Avenue closed to traffic in front of Trump Towers while the streets still feel like an outdoor celebration.

After January 20, 2021, racists and anti-Semites will no longer be welcome in the White House West Wing.

For the last 4 years, Trump bullied and humiliated his staff in meetings. Now that he’s lost, they’re turning on him. “Why put up with it anymore?” one outside WH adviser said.

When someone tells you we should give up on Florida, show them this.
It won't be easy. The Florida GOP has a big campaigning and messaging machine built on sweat and toil. But nothing's stopping us from building one too. https://t.co/myF4rjKSAG
