Thank you, @JoeBiden!
And I’m with @KamalaHarris all the way to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue!!
My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.

Also, back then it was known as Twitter, which I totally prefer to X.

“So many of those extremists, those MAGA extremists, take their marching orders from Donald Trump,” @HillaryClinton tells me. “There needs to be a formal deprogramming of the cult members” in the GOP, she adds in our EXCLUSIVE conversation.

A personal favorite. Congratulations, @simonwwriter!
On October 17 this small book of mine about the #OED will enjoynew life with a 25th Anniversary Edition. I can hardly believe it. The world may roll awkwardly on, but this story allows itself to be told and retold down the years. I couldn’t be more proud, grateful and content.

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Tim Wakefield, 19-year Major Leaguer, two-time World Series champion, 2009 AL All-Star, and the 2010 Roberto Clemente Award winner.
Tim embodied the finest qualities as a teammate, a competitor, and a caring man.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Wakefield family and all who knew and loved Tim.
