President Joe Biden made the official announcement Tuesday that he is running for reelection.
The announcement came in a three-minute launch video.
“When I ran for president four years ago, I said we were in a battle for the soul of America. And we still are,” Biden says. “The question we are facing is whether in the years ahead, we have more freedom or less freedom, more rights or fewer. I know what I want the answer to be, and I think you do too. This is not a time to be complacent. That’s why I am running for reelection.”
The video, coming four years to the day when Biden announced his 2020 bid, opened with images of the January 6th attack on the Capitol.
Biden then appears on screen and says, “Freedom — personal freedom is fundamental who we are as Americans. That’s been my work of the first term.

As attendees of SXSW, Tiff, and other major festivals know, they are as local as they are international, often featuring audience members representing a politically diverse spectrum. The Pushback, produced by Richard Linklater and directed by Kevin Ford, offers a look at those looking to push Texas blue–or at least purple. Opening with a Ted Cruz campaign speech in liberal-leaning El Paso (the home turf of Beto O’Rourke), the film looks specifically at both political figures and everyday people engaged in inherently political acts, especially those along the southern border.
The Pushback presents a vivid mosaic of activism that feels at certain points a bit disjointed as it jumps around a state so large its often considered as diverse as any country. Perhaps a feature documentary is the wrong form for this work as it feels more or less like digital episodes encouraging voters to go out and make...

President Donald Trump plans to visit El Paso, Texas on Wednesday at an event intended to honor the victims of this weekend’s mass shooting. But according to Rep. Veronica Escobar (D-Tex.), those victims don’t want the president there.
During an interview on Tuesday night with MSNBC’s Chris Hayes, Escobar said she was told this “totally unsolicited” from victims in the hospital, saying, “They grab my arm and tell me, tell [Trump] not to come here.”
Escobar was asked about her earlier comments, when she said Trump is painting...

President Trump is heading to El Paso on Wednesday, accepting an invitation from the city’s mayor that comes over the objections of several prominent local officials.
Republican Mayor Dee Margo on Monday said the invitation is part of what he feels is his “obligation” to meet with the president in the wake of a Saturday shooting that left 22 dead. But several city officials say the visit from Trump, whose rhetoric mirrors that of the white nationalist killer who targeted immigrants, is inappropriate, and Margo acknowledged that he is “already...

President Trump and Republicans have blamed the media, the internet, video games, mental health, and a lack of prayer in schools for the mass shooting epidemic in the United States, which was brought back into focus over the weekend after shootings in El Paso and Dayton that left at least 31 dead. White nationalism has also been rightly pinpointed by some members of the Gop, but Trump’s name has been left out of their vague denunciations of the hatred fueling these massacres. Democrats haven’t been so vague. Several of...
