Biden calls these ‘dark days’ as he urges Americans to ‘get back up’
(AP) – 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. We’re more powerful than any dictator.”
Biden, 82, speaking publicly for the first time since completing a round of radiation therapy for an aggressive form of prostate cancer, addressed an audience in Boston on Sunday night after receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Edward M. Kennedy Institute.

He said America depends on a presidency with limited power, a functioning Congress and an autonomous judiciary. With the federal government facing its second-longest shutdown on record, Trump has used the funding laps as way to exercise new command over the government.
“Friends, I can’t sugar coat any of this. These are dark days” Biden said before predicting the country would “find our true compass again” and “emerge as we always have — stronger, wiser and more resilient, more just, so long as we keep the faith.”
Biden listed examples of people who are standing their ground against threats from the current administration, citing the example of federal employees who resign in protest, and universities and comedians that have been targeted by Trump.
“The late night hosts continue to shine a light on free speech knowing their careers are on the line,” he said.
Biden also shouted out elected Republican officials who vote or openly go against the Trump administration.
“America is not a fairy tale,” he said. “For 250 years, it’s been a constant push and pull, an existential struggle between peril and possibility.”
He finished the speech by telling people to “get back up.”
The Democrat left office in January after serving one term in the White House. Biden dropped his bid for reelection after facing pressure following a disastrous debate against Trump and concerns about his age, health and mental fitness. Vice President Kamala Harris launched her bid right after, but lost to Trump last November.
In May, Biden’s post presidential office announced that he had been diagnosed with prostate cancer and that it had spread to his bones.
Prostate cancers are graded for aggressiveness using what is known as a Gleason score. The scores range from 6 to 10, with 8, 9 and 10 prostate cancers behaving more aggressively. Biden’s office said his score was 9.

Kansas City Chiefs fans are holding their breath as heartbreaking news surrounding star defender Chris Jones shakes the entire NFL community. Reports from sources close to the team confirm that Jones has temporarily stepped away from the Chiefs to be with his family, after learning that his mother is battling severe and rapidly progressing health issues. The announcement hit fans like a storm, especially knowing how much strength, discipline, and unshakable leadership Jones has always shown on the field. Yet today, for the first time in a long time, people are seeing not the fierce warrior who dominates offensive lines every Sunday, but a devoted son fighting a different kind of battle—one that no amount of trophies or tackles can prepare him for. Teammates, coaches, and rivals across the league have flooded social media with prayers, heartfelt messages, and emotional tributes, reminding everyone that even heroes carry their own battles behind the spotlight. As fans unite, sharing love and support from every corner of the country, one thing becomes clear: the NFL family stands together—not just in victory, but in moments like this, where humanity matters more than the game.

MARK KELLY JUST OBLITERATED TRUMP ON LIVE TV — Historic Takedown Sparks National Backlash as Reports Confirm Trump’s Pennsylvania Rally Was a 200-Person Disaster; MAGA World in Full-Scale Panic Sen. Mark Kelly unleashed a blistering assault on Donald Trump that Washington hasn’t seen in years — declaring the former president has “never read the Constitution,” “doesn’t understand what it means to be an American,” and comes from a family with “zero military service,” in stark contrast to Kelly’s four generations of service. The political earthquake hit even harder when fresh reporting confirmed Trump’s rally in Pocono, Pennsylvania was a catastrophic flop, drawing barely 200 people — a humiliation so severe that insiders say Trump erupted into a profanity-laced meltdown, berating aides and demanding to know “who sabotaged” his crowd. The fallout has spiraled into a national spectacle: Republican strategists are calling the rally “the beginning of the end,” veterans groups are rallying behind Kelly’s remarks, and even longtime MAGA loyalists privately admit the optics are “beyond salvaging.” What comes next is what has Washington bracing… Full Details 👇👇

🔥 Drama Alert! Oprah Winfrey just broke her silence on Travis Kelce — and she didn’t hold back! 𝑹𝒆𝒂𝒅 𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒆: 👇. “I’ve watched Travis Kelce dominate the media lately, and let’s be honest — it’s not just because of his football talent. The attention surrounding him comes from celebrity culture, Super Bowl stardom, and the pop-culture machine he now represents. I spent decades creating conversations that moved people forward, while he’s become a symbol of modern obsession — headlines fueled by highlights and romance more than substance. Being famous isn’t the same as being a change-maker. The stadium lights are bright, but history honors progress, not just touchdowns and trends.” But Travis fired back instantly, saying: “Dear Oprah, that ‘obsession’ only exists when you’ve built something that unites a fanbase and a locker room — and I’m grateful my journey with the Chiefs has done that for Chiefs Kingdom. That doesn’t erase the grind, the sacrifice, or the brotherhood inside that locker room. While you focused on changing conversations, I focused on winning with my brothers, lifting people through action, and giving fans something to believe in. Pride isn’t a distraction — it’s the reason the game matters in the first place.”
