Do we hold Trump accountable for his corruption and unconstitutional actions? Absolutely.

But we cannot stop there.

We must address the economic crises facing working families.

It’s not acceptable that 60% of our people live paycheck to paycheck while billionaires get richer.

When I came to Congress in 1987, there were only twelve Democratic women. We made it our mission to change that.

Today, we celebrate the election of more than 100 Democratic women to the House — a tremendous joy and source of pride.

When women succeed, America succeeds!

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Tonight, the American people sent a clear message — they want a politics that brings people together rather than divides them, and leaders who offer concrete solutions to the challenges they face.

These results were only possible because outstanding candidates stepped forward in every region of the country — including in areas once considered long shots. They came from different backgrounds and represented a range of political perspectives, but were united by shared values, a belief in public service, and a commitment to putting the people of their districts and states first.

We also owe a debt of gratitude to the thousands of election officials and volunteers from both parties who helped ensure a smooth election and carried out one of the most essential functions of our democracy.

While this administration has another two years in office, our job now is to roll up our sleeves, make changes wherever we have the power to do so, prevent further damage, and lay the groundwork for the future.

Every girl, adolescent and woman has the right to be safe.

No matter what she wears.

No matter where she goes.

No matter if she stays alert.

Safe. Full stop.

We cannot accept a world where violence is a risk girls are expected to navigate.

It’s time to prevent violence, hold perpetrators accountable and end violence against girls and women.

[UN Women @UN_Women]

🚨 Rape culture doesn’t begin and end with an act of sexual violence.

It lives in the:

🔴 attitudes that excuse it
🔴 stereotypes that blame survivors
🔴 silence that protects perpetrators

There is #NoExcuse for abuse — or for the culture that lets rape culture persist.

It is with profound sadness and a heavy heart that I announce the passing of His Majesty the Omukama of Tooro, King Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV, at approximately 10:00 p.m. this evening.

This is an immeasurable loss to the Royal Family, the people of Tooro and the nation of Uganda.

Omukama Atulize.
Enkuba Etutire.

I call upon the people of Tooro to remain united, calm and prayerful during this difficult time.

The continuity of the Crown is assured. His Majesty leaves behind a Prince as his heir, whose identity will be formally revealed at the appropriate time, in accordance with the traditions and customs of Tooro Kingdom.

An official statement will follow with further details, including the funeral and mourning arrangements.

May His Majesty the King rest in eternal peace.

Democracy is not complete when women can vote, but cannot lead.

H.E. Michelle Bachelet, former President of Chile, reminds us that political equality must include not only participation, but representation at every level of decision-making.

What happens when rural women have access to skills, finance, rights and leadership spaces?

✔️They transform households.
✔️They strengthen communities.
✔️They influence local systems.

Through the @JPRWEE programme, women in Ikungi are gaining skills, accessing new income opportunities, and strengthening their confidence and collective leadership.

Designing effective crisis responses begins with community perspectives.

To connect the discussions with realities on the ground, UN Women and partners visited flood-affected areas and listened to community perspectives to shape locally informed responses to the needs of women, youth and affected households.

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

As a World Cup host, the U.S. shouldn't be flippantly barring officials from entering the country to do their jobs.

It's terribly backward.

It's also counterproductive.

Global sports competitions should improve international exchange and relations, not the reverse.
