A historic moment. A sitting US President accepting the burden of admonishing his predecessor's powerful cultural movement, doing so honestly and resolutely, and framing it as a threat to the country.

I thought Biden showed tremendous restraint by not wearing a tan suit.

The very curious definition of "partisan politics:"The Republican machine has mastered playing the media refs, QED the bothsidesism informing most coverage today.

Remind yourself that White House officials insisted repeatedly today this isn’t a political speech. Then read these excerpts. https://t.co/ce0lFwJUhN

Joe made a clear distinction between Americans and The Fascists who happen to live here.
Which tradition is that?There’s nothing unusual or wrong with a President delivering a political speech — it’s inherent in the job description — but doing it against a backdrop of two Marines standing at attention and the Marine Band is a break with White House traditions. pic.twitter.com/s3TSYHtkcA

As a journalist, I think the most important question to ask after this speech is “are Biden’s concerns about US democracy warranted?” and not “has a president ever given a speech with a US marine in the background before?”

Lincoln: …whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure…
Media: This won’t win over white voters in Birmingham. Didn’t he say he wanted a “union”?

GOP today
Why you calling us domestic terrorists? pic.twitter.com/i03Y9Lo0x6
How does one give a speech about the future of our democracy that *isn’t* “political”? Indeed, that was the whole fracking point.
