President Biden was walking through the airport, and Americans who ran into him gave him handshakes and genuine warmth.
I love how he is humbled by admiration instead of demanding it.
This moment showcases his enduring connection with everyday Americans who support and care for him.

So we planned to visit #DryTortugas National Park by seaplane yesterday to celebrate my seventieth birthday. We got cancelled due to inclement weather. I guess the Dry Tortugas were….too wet.

In the first cross-national comparative study, we examine 32M tweets from politicians.
We find that misinformation is not a general condition: it is driven by populist radical right parties.
