A political party that is morally and intellectually bankrupt deserves the rebuke of the American people. It is now time to make America good again. That is an endeavor to which all Americans can contribute, for we are not Democrats, Republicans or Independents. We are humans, and the things that unite us far exceed the things that divide us. We are the caretakers of the American experiment, and the experiment has been rejuvenated tonight.

I understand PJ Fleck has had his ups and downs. I understand the Gophers laid an egg last week against Purdue. But if, like me, you’re 48 or younger, they’ve never beaten their three biggest rivals all at the same time in your lifetime until today. Choose joy.

I’ll say it again. PTI is the best, most influential sports TV ever. 25 years of pure gold with Tony and Mike. And still the gold standard in sports TV.

Twenty-four years apart, Tom Burnett ’85 and his nephew Devin O’Brien ’05 each faced an unimaginable moment and made the choice to act for others. Their stories are connected by family, Saint John’s and shared commitment to service when it mattered most: csbsju.edu/news/from-9-11-to…

Twenty-five years ago, everything changed. This is dedicated to the first responders who made the ultimate sacrifice, and to the lives we lost and continue to lose to World Trade Center–related illnesses. We will never forget.

One thing I appreciate about Austin is how often our schools and community come together. Great to see the AHS Pep Band share their talents as @HormelFoods launched its new Protein Fuels America campaign. Proud of our students and how they represent APS! 🅰️ #AustinPackers
