Barack Obama turns 65 today.

Hanging in the Obama Presidential Center is this handwritten list of the former president’s 2015 domestic agenda. You’ll notice he moves the TPP trade pact from the “want to do” column to “must do.” A relic from a bygone era.

[Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias]

What’s missing in a lot of post-Obama searches for a great communicator is that in his most famous speeches Obama actually articulated heterodox positions, he *wasn’t* just a great expositor of ideas everyone in the party agreed with.

Everyone says Democrats can’t just be anti-Trump but it seems like “orange man bad” is a much more broadly appealing message than anything else you could come up with.

[John Anzalone @JohnAnzo]

Thanks, Trump. The U.S. has declined in status worldwide so far under Trump's presidency that China is now viewed more favorably. That is something that I thought impossible to do. @pewresearch

We must take the next step to deliver care to our country. I can’t think of a better place to start than with our kids.

[Niles Francis @NilesGApol]

He's been the driving force of our politics for the last 10 years and even at his lowest points (Charlottesville, COVID, J6, legal troubles etc) I don't think I've ever seen his numbers this bad

Could it be that everybody's just tired at this point?

[Josh Turek @turek4iowa]

Great game, Mr. President. 🏀

Iowa, you heard President Obama. The ball is in your court. Join our campaign and help us Push For Change: https://t.co/WBFGxximW6

[Nate Silver @NateSilver538]

Democrats have been running on this "let's not normalize Trump thing" for 12 years and he got elected president twice. He's been normalized. He's super unpopular now because of big substantive non-abstract things like Iran and the economy that have a direct impact on people.

ANALYSIS — Black turnout surged across several Southern primaries following the Supreme Court’s Callais decision, especially in areas targeted by Republican redistricting efforts.

Ryan Clark confirms ESPN executives leaked his firing to Outkick (a MAGA website) so the MAGA cult can celebrate his firing.

He says ESPN executives didn’t like how he stood up for Black people, including Angel Reese.

I love you Cap!! Sharing a desk with you, @minakimes, @mspears96 & @danorlovsky7 has been one of the greatest honors of my life. It’s not even about the trophies. It’s about the people!

You’re my family, my sister, & that has nothing to do with where I do or don’t work. 🫶🏾

[David Weigel @daveweigel]

Biden comes out of this looking like the world's biggest sucker. Wonder how this effects a future Dem president's calculation about what to build in states that didn't vote for him. https://t.co/alHUSf16pS

[Haley Stevens @HaleyforMI]

I am absolutely thrilled to have Gov @GretchenWhitmer’s endorsement for U.S. Senate. She is a champion for our state, she understands the stakes of this race and why it’s so important we elect the strongest Dem in this primary, and she gets stuff done for Michigan. Let’s go win!

[Paul McLeary @paulmcleary]

NEW: The Pentagon listing no US combat deaths in July for Epic Fury, despite Trump and Hegseth meeting the dignified transfer of four dead just this week.

It has also reduced the number of wounded from 447 to 420, despite there being over 500 wounded.

[LeBron James @KingJames]

another championship.

I believe I can help make the Philadelphia 76ers a championship team and I am so excited to energize a new fan base and start this incredible journey one last time.  

Thank you LA. Miami I’ll forever love and Northeast Ohio will always home!

The absolute last person I’m going to take a lecture from on American history is a former kicker for the New York Jets.
