An aide on @JoeBiden 's campaign said, “COVID is the best thing that ever happened to him." That private thinking reflects what many political analysts said at the time, that the rampant pandemic undermined Trump’s solid economic achievements.

Senate Republicans argue that we don’t need to deliver more COVID relief—that we did enough already. That couldn't be further from the truth. The worst thing we could do would be to slow down now before the race is won. We will deliver urgent, bold COVID relief.
This evening, I joined my colleagues on the steps of the Capitol for a moment of silence to mourn the 500,000+ American lives we lost to COVID-19. May they rest in peace.
One year ago today, Ahmaud Arbery was murdered while jogging. We can’t forget his name, his story, or the stories of countless others who have lost their lives to the hands of systemic racism. We must continue the fight against white supremacy. #BlackLivesMatter

During the Obama-Biden administration we saw the Department of Justice politicized and weaponized. I hope we won’t see that repeated if Merrick Garland is confirmed.
This is WRONG. No power company should get a windfall because of a natural disaster, and Texans shouldn’t get hammered by ridiculous rate increases for last week’s energy debacle. State and local regulators should act swiftly to prevent this injustice.
I couldn’t be more concerned about the radical Biden agenda.
John Lewis is no longer with us, but today, on what would have been his 81st birthday, I hope we all take a moment to remember him. To remember his humanity, his grace & his love for others. We must carry on his fight for justice & continue his enduring legacy of #goodtrouble .
