As the Obama Presidential Center (@ObamaFoundation) opens this week, we’re looking back at this moment from 2009, when First Lady Nancy Reagan joined President @BarackObama at the White House for the signing of the Ronald Reagan Centennial Commission Act. The bipartisan commission helped lead the nation’s commemoration of President Reagan’s 100th birthday in 2011. 🇺🇸
For the last 13 years, the Bush Center has proudly carried the flag as the “new kid on the presidential center block.” Today, the @BarackObama Presidential Center takes on that role. On behalf of all of us at the Bush Center, congratulations to the @ObamaFoundation team. Take it from us: once the pomp and circumstance of opening passes, the real fun begins: serving the American people and guests from around the world. We’ll be cheering you on from Dallas!

Performing at the opening of the Obama Presidential Center was a moment I will carry with me forever. I’m still processing it all and taking it all in…Being surrounded by all the living former Presidents of the United States while I sang our National Anthem was something I’ll never forget. The Impossible Dream took on new meaning as we celebrated @BarackObama’s legacy of hope and service to our country. And all of this happening where I grew up on the South Side of Chicago…It’s almost too much to put into words. I’m just so proud to have been part of this momentous day and to witness this historic occasion ! Look what God has done !
My friend Jamie Raskin is one of the most careful and principled people in Congress. So when he says the director of the FBI may be running a taxpayer funded slush fund, I pay attention.
Here is what he found.
Kash Patel directed more than $1 million in bonus payments to a small circle of agents in his inner circle and on his security detail.
Some were getting nearly $8,000 every two weeks on top of salaries that were already maxed out at the federal ceiling. A number of them collected close to $40,000 over consecutive pay periods.
The payments came so fast that the FBI’s bonus reserve accounts ran dry and some checks bounced.
So who got the money?
Agents on Patel’s so-called "director’s advisory team."
That is the unit created in 2025 and described internally as a payback squad, built to dig up dirt on the law enforcement officials who investigated Trump and his allies.
Raskin has given Patel until June 29 to account for every payment, every recipient, and any internal review of whether this was even legal.
Patel should answer for all of it.

If you’re visiting for a very large sporting event & you happen to discover RANCH while you’re here… pls pack it in your CHECKED BAG on the way home.
Thank you.
When Michael surprised his children by giving them a dog. Kenya was its name. It lived for 16 years. But it passed away 6 years ago. It lived with Prince all those years. It was like having Michael close to it. 💫

This is America. Not what is currently in the White House.
While Donald Trump tries to rewrite our nation's past, California embraces and learns from it.

We’re about to spend $300,000,000,000 rebuilding Iran after spending $80,000,000,000 destroying it, while telling Americans on Medicaid to take a hike.
America First.
@MelchorSan26 You hit my thoughts exactly. I grew up with cupcakes and family or neighbor kids for birthdays. Then my own kids (via peers) expected yearly themed big event parties for all their friends. Drained the fun out of birthdays and Christmas forever for me!
