Biden: "Today we mark a truly grim, heartbreaking milestone. 500,071 dead. That's more Americans who have died in 1 year in this pandemic than in World War I, World War II, and the Vietnam War combined. That's more lives lost to this virus than any other nation on Earth."

Biden: "We have to resist becoming numb to the sorrow."

Biden's message to those who have lost loved ones from Covid: "I promise you the day will come when the memory of the loved one you lost will bring a smile to your lips before a tear to your eye."

This was a very moving speech from Biden

Biden: "I can't give you a date when this crisis will end, but I can tell you we're doing everything possible to have that day come sooner rather than later."

Hannity is licking Ted Cruz's boots

"I think you can be a father and be the senator of Texas all at the same time. And make a round trip, quick, drop off trip [to Cancun], and come home" -- this is completely beyond parody
