As an Illinois voter, I couldn’t be prouder that our senator for the last 28 years has been one of the finest in the country. Dick Durbin has always fought the good fight on behalf of working families, and his integrity shines through in everything he does.
It’s also true that I would not have been a United States Senator – and certainly would not have been President – had it not been for Dick’s support. He has been a great and loyal friend, and Michelle and I wish him and Loretta all the best in their next chapter.
Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions – rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking concrete steps to make sure all students at Harvard can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope other institutions follow suit.
“My dance moves are bad—like a combination
of Zumba and twerking; no idea what that looks like but I bet they do it at the curling club.”—James Mullinger on Grand Manan last night. I wish I’d captured more: local colour, mild self-deprecation, keen observation. 🩷 @jamesmullinger
What a joy to have James Mullinger on #GrandManan last night—finally. It’s been a dream of his—and of ours too, James! Moments like the one where you’re under the influence of “those drugs” are absolutely priceless. And just to speak to you again was wonderful! @jamesmullinger
Wonderful to hear Elizabeth Renzetti on The Current this morning! Smart, witty and aware. “Internalized misogyny is a powerful force; if we could harness it, we would not need fossil fuels.” Yeah!

I just wanted to say thank you for all the prayers, kind words, and love that you all have shown our entire family these last few days. Every text, comment on social media, and beautiful tribute has brought us some light. It means so much to hear what a special woman she was to you all, as well. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. 🤍
