Fun fact: Madison Square Garden is available for anyone to rent out for $1M a day. Most of the people renting it (and yes, shutting down a few streets) do not reward the city with $26M in donations. Cry harder MAGA. 🤪
"Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the President or any other public official save exactly to the degree in which HE stands by the country."
--Theodore Roosevelt
That USA game made me feel so proud! The Bosnian team showing appreciation and respect after the USA victory really got me in my feels! This World Cup is so heartwarming. 💙 #worldcup#usamnt
Ossoff just has the sauce, man.
I think that across America, there is a real appetite for a liberal politician who tells us that America is not bad, it's good, that we've always been good, and that we're so much better than the current administration makes us out to be.
I know a fair number of Democrats, and not a single one is grappling uncomfortably - or grappling at all! - with World Cup success.
In fact, everyone's pretty damn happy.
I’m proud to say we brought California’s deficit down to $0, not just for THIS upcoming year, but for the year AFTER too.
We’re doing this while maintaining California's progress, preparing for the future, and protecting vulnerable communities from Trump’s assaults on our state.
Michelle Obama: "What Barack offered this country was a mature president, was a highly intelligent president, was a selfless president. The hope and the joy that people felt during our administration had to do with the character of this leader. He made this country proud in a very unique way."

Imagine taking a few Bible verses on human sexuality as literal divine commands from God for all society, but minimizing 2,000+ verses calling for the care of immigrants, the marginalized, the oppressed, and the poor to be a personal choice.
It was such a joy getting to spend time with Joe and Jill, George and Laura, and Bill and Hillary last week. Barack and I will always be grateful for your constant friendship and support of our family over the years.
(And George, thanks for the mints!)
Iran’s World Cup team left behind a handwritten message in its SoFi Stadium locker room following its 0-0 draw with Belgium.
The message was left after Iran’s first two games in Los Angeles — a national team playing inside the country with which it had been at war with.
Found an imaginary problem, said only they could fix it, didn’t listen to experts, hired buddies who grifted millions, failed miserably, bragged how great it went.
The entire Trump presidency in a nutshell.
Michelle and I loved reading to this bright group of kids today!
We hope this new Chicago Public Library branch at the Obama Presidential Center will be a place where folks come to read, check out books, and connect with one another for years to come.
