James Harden may have left the Houston Rockets in a messy divorce, but the All-Star guard wants the city to know there are no hard feelings.

On Monday, five days after Harden was traded to the Brooklyn Nets, the three-time scoring champion and former league MVP, expressed his gratitude to the organization and city of Houston, whom he said he is “forever indebted” to in a thread on Twitter.

“What can I write? What words can convey all the ways I feel,” he said. “Houston you welcomed me with no guarantees. Took a leap of faith and it changed my life and the lives of my family forever. This organization, this city has given me everything I could ask for and more.

Vice President-elect Kamala Harris has officially resigned her U.S. Senate seat in a letter to Gov. Newsom, paving the way for her to assume her new office on Wednesday and for Alex Padilla to become the new junior senator from California.

Padilla, the current California Secretary of State, is a close ally of Gov. Newsom and will be first Latino Senator in a state where Latinos make up about 40% of the population.

“I just wanted to let you know how honored I’ve been to serve as a United States Senator for the place of my birth, the great state of California,” Harris said in a video posted to twitter.

As they leave their presidency the Trumps have revealed to the world their embrace of the worst on the political landscape - a penchant for authoritarianism and love for dictators; shunning and alienating democrats and democratic heads of states; acceptance of women being sexualized and treated as objects; lack of empathy and compassion; a love of insults, belittling and putting down; inability to handle crises of any kind; governing for Big Business only; putting the presidency and the American government at their personal disposal; sowing division, fostering racism and championing white nationalism and rightist extremism and abetting an insurrection by such forces; dealing in bribery and nepotism; inviting foreign intervention in the affairs of government and elections, the latter being vilified by the Trumps; trading in myths, misinformation and conspiracy theories; demonizing people's cultures and religions and aiding; renting families asunder and treating children as disposable...

Trump's family separation policy split at least 5,400 immigrant children from their parents, but the number may be higher.
