Every American who cares about the integrity of our Democracy, the fairness of our economy, the safety of our communities and the health of our planet is grateful to the President for his values-based vision and patriotic leadership.
Extreme MAGA Republicans are orchestrating a sinister campaign. By criminalizing women’s health care, ending Social Security & Medicare & undermining our elections, the GOP is working to turn back the clock on fundamental liberties while fanning the flames of violence & division.
In stark contrast, under the strong leadership of @POTUS, Democrats have powered progress for America’s families. With our landmark laws to bring down costs, create better paying jobs and build safer communities, Democrats are demonstrating that Democracy can continue to deliver.
The American people are rejecting Republicans’ extreme MAGA agenda – instead, choosing Democrats’ unifying vision of #PeopleOverPolitics. Read my full statement on President Biden’s Address on Defending Democracy here:

You are right, it was a no-no.

The optics of Biden’s speech instantly became a source of Internet chatter with the weird red background that made the President look like he was giving a stump speech from Dante’s Inferno. However, it was the use of the Marine guards that were the most glaring element...
...Under Department of Defense Directive 1344.10 (”Political Activities for Members of the Armed Forces”) members of the Armed Forces may not engage in political activities...
...The long list of prohibited acts include: “Attend partisan political events as an official representative of the Armed Forces, except as a member of a joint Armed Forces color guard ...
...at the opening ceremonies of the national conventions of the Republican, Democratic, or other political parties recognized by the Federal Elections Committee or as otherwise authorized by the Secretary concerned.”
