Biden is the most legislatively successful President since LBJ.

You have no bottom. Jill Biden is going to the Olympics as First Lady representing the US at the opening of the games.

Gingrich: Jill really needs to cancel her trip to Paris. There is no reason for her to take taxpayer money and go spend probably several millions of dollars going to Paris now that her husband is no longer a candidate.

This is Trumpism on the left. And I’m a progressive Democrat. It’s obscene and debases you as you assault a man who has lost a wife and two children in the most painful ways. I denounce you; Sanders should too.

Buttigieg is perhaps the best communicator in politics today.

This is a perfect answer by Secretary Buttigieg.

Tara Reade is becoming the Trump campaign’s desperate obsession aided and abetted by the fringe far left. An alliance made in the darkest corners of our politics.

Listening to Biden on @CNN and I’m struck by how informed, reasonable and compassionate he is. Can we have the election now?

Pres Trump: "Maxine Waters, a very low I.Q. individual. You ever seen her? She's a low I.Q. individual. You can't help it. She really is."

I have refrained from all the criticism of Merrick Garland. I was wrong. And he was the wrong choice for DOJ. History will not absolve him.

Thank you, @neal_katyal for calling out Merrick Garland for not policing the Special Counsel guidelines and allowing Robert Hur to put out a report with opinions that are outside the guidelines in the same way Comey did with Hillary. @TheJusticeDept has let us down again.

The British Tory elite hate of Meghan Markle says more about them than her.

This is simply economically illiterate. No wonder he apparently had a mediocre record at Wharton.

Trump: A tariff is a tax on a foreign country. A lot of people like to say it’s a tax on us. No… It’s is a tax that doesn’t affect our country.

Tariffs are almost always paid by those importing the goods. If they are a retailer they will be passed on to the ultimate consumer. taxpolicycenter.org/taxvox/what-ta…

Every time Trump talks, he subtracts from the sum total of our knowledge.

Trump said that antibiotics are now ineffective because the novel coronavirus is a "genius." Antibiotics fight bacteria. The novel coronavirus is a virus.

This is idiotic. The Voting Rights Act had to be-authorized several times after 1965. I was there. And Biden was involved in getting it done. These apparatchiks either don’t know any history or are simply lying.

BIDEN: "When I left the Senate, I was able to convince Strom Thurmond to vote for the Voting Rights Act." Thurmond died in 2003, while Biden didn't leave the Senate until 2009. The Voting Rights Act passed in 1965, before Biden was in office.
