Your periodic reminder that Joe Biden and his allies destroyed the only cancer hospital in Gaza.

I want to share a brief update.

My presidential memoir, PROMISE ME, AMERICA, is coming out on November 17th. I hope you'll read it. It covers my years as President. The challenges we faced, the decisions I made, and why I made them. It's about who we are as a nation. What we stand for. And America's role in the world. More than anything, it's about my faith in the American people and the great American experiment in self-governance and democracy.

While writing the book, I was diagnosed with cancer, a disease known all too well to millions of Americans and their families. My doctors continue to be encouraged by how I've responded to treatment. And the prayers and kind words and well wishes from so many of you have meant more to me and Jill and our family than you can ever know.

Some days are better than others. It hasn't stopped me. But sometimes it slows me down. What that means is, unfortunately, I won鈥檛 be able to do as many conversations about my book as I鈥檇 hoped. However, I鈥檓 hopeful the words on the page speak for themselves.

Looking forward, I'm going to keep following what my father told me a long time ago: "Champ, when you get knocked down, get up." It's a good lesson for me. And for America.

We are blessed. America is the most unique nation on earth. Unlike other countries, we're built on an idea. An idea bigger than any ocean. More powerful than any army. Stronger than any tyrant or dictator. That idea? All of us are created equal.

Promise Me, America, we'll never forget it.

If the priority is to elect a Black speaker, Summer Lee, Ilhan Omar, Chris Rabb, and Donavan McKinney are available from the left. But it's totally unacceptable to have a speaker who is pro-Israel and anti-Medicare for All, which is what this is really about.

There鈥檚 an effort underway to erode black political power in this country by blocking the election of the first-ever African American Speaker of the House.
