The most inspiring chapters in our nation's history came when Americans faced down some of our country's darkest demons.
Those moments, like our own, were difficult to live through but also brought the chance to bring out the best in us, with enduring consequences.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.
Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

I thought this whole "wasteful spending" thing was a red herring to distract from our tanking economy but then I discovered that the US government is on pace to drop a billion dollars on golf over the next four years.
I only hope Elon Musk can track down and fire whoever is squandering this money.

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right.
The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter.
Everyone must choose which side they’re on.

Great to meet with VFW members from Vermont.
These are the men and women who put their lives on the line to defend our country.
We are proud of them and what they've done.
No cuts to the VA. No privatization.
