A $15K generator is no longer the only option to get automatic home backup. Switch to Base Power—the energy provider that keeps you powered during outages.

2/2 I will be stepping away from this Twitter account with the promise that I will give the Biden-Harris Administration and the American people everything I’ve got, always mindful of what’s at stake: our principles, our ideals, and our children’s futures.

To begin 2021 with inspiration, today I encourage you to watch “A Life on Our Planet” — David Attenborough’s new film. This passionate 94 year old vividly portrays the existential challenges we face and calls on each of us to choose to make a difference: netflix.com/title/80216393?s…

Elated that @DenisMcDonough will be nominated by @joebiden to be VA Secretary. Denis has fierce management skills deep humanity. Worked aggressively on Vets’ health & benefits as WH COS. Recently generated roadmap to prepare workers for jobs of the future — a key need for Vets.

On Thanksgiving I feel deep gratitude for every person who selflessly stands watch for others. To our military members, diplomats, intel officers, first responders, health care providers, and so many more who live lives dedicated to service --thank you. We are all in your debt.

We face four historic crises.
The worst pandemic in a century. The worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. The most compelling call for racial justice since the 60s. And the undeniable threat of climate change.
We're preparing to tackle these challenges on Day One.

I've watched @RonaldKlain in action since 1986 when he first advised President-elect @JoeBiden. Ron is battle tested, steady, fair, honest and humble. Funny too!Most important, he has earned the trust of next POTUS and can speak truth to power. Thankful Ron will serve as WH COS.

On #VeteransDay, honoring my father in law who enlisted in 1944 to fight in the Pacific, my late father who served in the early 1950s, and many military colleagues with whom I’ve been privileged to work. Grateful for the service and sacrifice of our #Veterans and their families.

During the 2016 post-election transition, those of us leading agencies with substantial national security duties worked with heightened vigilance. It’s essential to ensure there are no gaps and that adversaries perceive no weakness. Inexplicable that Trump would fire SECDEF now.

@JoeBiden asks all of us to join in healing our land: "Let this grim era of demonization in America begin to end — here and now...It’s a decision. It’s a choice we make...And I believe that this is part of the mandate from the American people. They want us to cooperate."

"The purpose of our politics isn’t total, unrelenting, unending warfare. No. The purpose of our politics, the work of the nation, isn’t to fan the flames of conflict — but to solve problems. To guarantee justice. To give everybody a fair shot. To improve the lives of our people."

I’ve always been awed by humans who run towards danger when duty calls. Grateful right now for all the citizen vote counters, Repubs and Dems, everyone masked, doing the painstaking work of tabulating every single ballot manually, vividly proving that our democracy still works.

A sitting president undermining our political process & questioning the legality of the voices of countless Americans without evidence is not only dangerous & wrong, it undermines the very foundation this nation was built upon. Every American should have his or her vote counted.
