For the loved ones left behind : I know all too well. I know what it's like to not be there when it happens. I know what it's like when you are there holding their hands, there's a look in their eye and they slip away, i know that when you stare at that empty chair around the kitchen table it brings it all back no matter how long ago it happened, as if it just happened that moment.

I think we do that by showing up. And Joe was showing up today in Kentucky, doug and I are showing up here in Waukesha. People are not only, you know, hurt physically, but also emotionally.

He said we are not going back to lockdowns. I think he knows that that is, number one, not necessary, but also politically untenable, he maxed out on his COVID credit card and now he wants to continue to swipe it -- but everyone’s like no, you are maxed out, you don’t have any more room to run on that.

From a young age, hidden helpers learn the costs of war close up. You see how difficult the road to recovery can be. You know the reality of changing bandages or long stays in hospital rooms. You get tired of having to be brave. And there's no way to, you know, keep you from feeling sad sometimes. So no, we can't shield our caregiving kids from the reality of war or its aftermath, but we can recognize the costs, that they last long after our troops come home, and that injuries can be felt throughout generations.

This is hard, but you're doing your best. And I want you to know that you're not alone.

It will allow parents to end months of anxious worrying about their kids, and reduce the extent to which children spread the virus to others. It is a major step forward for our nation in our fight to defeat the virus.

Your efforts were critical in Joe's win, joe and [ Vice President ] Kamala [ Harris ] will not only listen to you, they’re going to make sure that your voices are leading this movement. They will fight for you every single day, and so will I.

Trump being gone has given people room to breathe, but Trumpism being present( in this race) has made all of us who are making that argument need to continue to make it, the same fundamental chaos and threats to our democracy that were so galvanizing to voters during the Donald Trump era, that's all present as is the threats to women in particular... It's about how do we best do our jobs to make sure that voters connect the dots ?

Today, Virginia, I am asking Ginny Bonner to vote for Terry McAuliffe and the Democrats on the ballot, it takes all of us coming together, doing our part, today and tomorrow and every day until Terry McAuliffe wins on November 2. We can do this, Virginia.

Federal Emergency Management Agency's beginning to get back up, but there's a long way to go.

She started to cry, telling me this story, i think that's what each of us has to do.

It was so sad, and I keep thinking about how upset she was, i want to make the point that people don't think they'll be affected. They think it won't happen to them, and then it does -- and then it's too late. I don't want them to take their health for granted.

We have to do everything we can do.

That's just not enough !

It was a long winter, but the clouds have broken. We're not at the finish line yet, but summer has never felt more full of possibility. And doesn't the air smell so much sweeter without our masks ?

You spoke out for safely reopening schools and more student support, you carried families through the darkest year in modern history with patience, compassion and care. And you did it all while you worried about your own families’ health and education and safety.

As many of you have already seen we were forced to halt operations on the collapse in the early hours of the morning due to structural concerns about the standing structure, we are doing everything we can to ensure that the safety of the first responders is paramount and to continue our search and rescue operation as soon as it is safe to do so.

Joe and I are both looking forward to meeting the queen, that’s an exciting part of the visit for us.

I love that you're educating dads and fathers, for so long, it has been the mother caregiving.

It's very important to the foundation, as a teacher at the upper levels if they don't have a good foundation they fall so far behind.

No one has more strength and grit and resilience than our military families, but you can't do this alone, we have to help you carry this weight by approving access to mental health resources, ensuring everyone can put food on the table, and supporting caregiving families and survivors.
