Biden urges Americans to 'get back up' amid 'dark days' for democracy

Former President Joe Biden called these dark days as he urged Americans to stay optimistic and not to check out in response to what he says are attacks on free speech and tests on the limits of executive power by President Donald Trump. Since its founding, America served as a beacon for the most powerful idea ever in government in the history of the world, Biden said. The idea is stronger than any army.

"I have and had a certain responsibility that I should have followed through on," Harris told Rachel Maddow on MSNBC in her first live television interview since the election.

Harris ultimately lost to Republican candidate Donald Trump.

US law enforcement agencies said the savage and gruesome killing of an Indian-origin motel manager in Dallas would never have happened if the accused was not released into the country by the Biden administration. A hotel manager was beheaded in front of his family by a convicted predator, an illegal alien from Cuba. Cuba refused to take him, so the Biden admin released him onto the American streets a week prior to President Trump taking office, US Immigration and Customs Enforcement said in a post on X Monday. Chandra Nagamallaiah, 50, was killed at the Downtown Suites motel by co-worker Yordanis Cobos-Martinez, a 37-year-old Cuban national with a violent criminal history. The federal agency said that the criminal illegal alien should never have been in America in the first place. Describing Cobos-Martinez as a vile monster, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said that he beheaded Nagamallaiah in front of his wife and child and proceeded to kick the victim's head on the ...
