"I revere this office, but I love my country more. It's been the honor of my life to serve as president but in the defense of democracy, which is at stake, I think it's more important than any title... Nothing, nothing can come in the way of saving our democracy. That includes personal ambition. So I’ve decided the best way forward is to pass the torch to a new generation. It’s the best way to unite our nation.”
~ President Biden

in reply to William Lindsey :toad: • • •"President Biden’s speech isn’t the only thing that has registered lately. Vote.org announced a nearly 700% increase in daily voter registrations in the 48 hours following President Biden’s announcement on Sunday that he would step down. That’s more than 38,500 newly registered voters, and younger voters, those between 18 and 34, make up 83% of them."

in reply to William Lindsey :toad: • • •Andrew Torrez on why the Republical complaint to FEC that Kamala Harris is illicitly taking over Biden's campaign coffers is "horseshit":
"Harris’s name has been on the FEC documents for more than four years, through nine separate filings by the Biden-Harris campaign, which is why virtually every election lawyer agrees that the move is entirely kosher."

Unknown parent • • •As Lisa Needham reports, FEC chair Sean Cooksey is a Trump appointee, and has made noises about welcoming Trump's FEC complaint. And:
"The FEC took no action against [Trump] for routing payments through his former campaign manager, Brad Parscale, and refused to open an investigation into his hush money payments to Stormy Daniels."
