Biden stutters. I stutter. I understand what he said. For those who are trying to find gaffes and misspeak, grow up. #SOTU @POTUS been a life long stutterer and I strongly believe we shouldn't mock him for misspeaking.

Great news - this vaccine went through rigorous testing, including real-world data. It's safe, it's effective, it will save your life. If you've been hesitant, now is a good time to talk with your doctor and get vaccinated.

If any out-of-state folks are wondering why our Gov thinks a good way to get reluctant Ohioans vaxed is by enticing them with cash prizes & games of chance, here's some footage from a 2016 Queen Of Hearts drawing outside a Garrettsville bowling alley after their pot topped 1 mil:

It’s been said but worth underscoring that the fact Gaetz is not a problematic man and Cheney is a problematic woman per House Republicans speaks volumes.

This is in Thailand...Nakhon Pathom to be exact. Seeing a lot of people asking if this is a Komodo Dragon or a monitor lizard. A Komodo Dragon IS a monitor lizard. There are 70 species of monitor lizard. But Komodo Dragons don't exist in Thailand except for zoos, etc.

Biden says Asian Americans who are facing a spike in hate crimes against them, have been unfairly “scapegoated” and it must end. He said: So many of them are on the frontline ... and still they are forced to fear for their lives. It’s wrong. It’s unAmerican. And it must stop.

After yesterday's lawlessness at the Capitol, it's absolutely gutting to receive reader emails today pointing out that Toledo Blade editors changed wire copy to say that it was "mostly" Trump supporters who incited violence and chaos.

BREAKING. Mob of Trump supporters swarm the media near the US Capitol. They yell what Trump frequently says, “the media is the enemy of the people.” They destroy equipment and chased out reporters. I’ve never seen anything like this in my 20 year career: @nbcwashington @MSNBC

Make no mistake, the so-called leader of our country, who swore to protect and defend the Constitution, directed a horde of white supremacist domestic terrorists to stage a coup to overturn a legitimately decided election. He isn't just encouraging them, he IS them. #traitor

The straight line distance between Washington, D.C. and Dover, Delaware is less than 85 miles. It takes a helicopter about 40-45 minutes to make the trip. I was 19 years-old, and it was my first time riding a helicopter. I barely remember any of it. I was distracted. (thread)

You're inside my head, Mr. Rather.
As a fact checker, where do you begin? I am being serious. I really don’t know where one starts.
