President Obama was the kind of President you want to see in the White House: smart, steady, honorable, and he led with kindness. He’s a good husband, dad, and role model for our country.

One thing that always stood out to me was his magical combination of being both ultra-competitive and really easygoing. It allowed him to surf the waves of politics, and it taught me a lot about leadership. (He also loved playing with my oldest son when he was just a baby!)

It was a tremendous honor to have his trust to carry the nuclear codes and to be by his side to handle emergencies for the country.

It’s incredible to see his legacy celebrated - I can’t wait to visit the new library!

I’ve been raising the alarm for months about ​​Donald Trump’s efforts to lay the groundwork to rig the upcoming midterm elections. Now I am taking aggressive action that will stop the federal government from interfering with election equipment.

We need Democrats who know how to take on Donald Trump. I beat him before, and I'll do it again.

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

Dear Joe,
I wish I could sit down with you face to face and explain why so many of us were offended by the UFC fight on the South Lawn of the White House.
For me, it had nothing to do with the UFC or who showed up for the fights. The brand you and Dana have built is a bona fide American success story. More power to you. As for the fighters, in my book, anyone brave enough to put it all on the line in the arena is remarkable to witness. Their dedication and discipline inspire me. I don’t understand anyone who can’t admire that.
And as for the people who attended, I, for one, love Shane Gillis. I think he’s hilarious and brilliant. It was a show. A once-in-a-lifetime spectacle. I can’t blame anyone for wanting to witness it firsthand.
My problem is that I believe some of our public spaces are sacred. And unlike many of the great powers that came before us, these American monuments belong to all of us. Not to whoever happens to hold power at the moment.
The White House does not belong to Donald Trump. It does not belong to any President. It belongs to the people. To treat it as Caesar treated the Colosseum is antithetical to everything our founding fathers fought for.
This is not Rome. Presidents are not emperors doling out bread and circuses for the peasants. The White House is the People’s House. This “celebration” could have happened in any stadium within a stone’s throw of the South Lawn. No one would have had an issue with it.
But that was obviously Donald Trump’s whole point. By holding the event on the South Lawn, what he was saying to the rest of us is:
��This is my house. I own it. I will do with it what I please. I’ll build a colosseum and have the gladiators fight under my gaze. I’ll tear down the East Wing. I’ll pave over the Rose Garden. I’ll cover everything in gold and marble. I’ll erase the names of all the men who came before me.”
The fights were an exhibition of imperial domination, not a celebration of our 250th anniversary as a democracy.
The White House is not Buckingham Palace. It is not the Palace of Versailles. It is not the Forbidden City of Beijing. It does not belong to an emperor, or a king, or a commissar.
The White House belongs to us. All of us. The person who sits behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office is nothing more than an honored guest. A temporary caretaker.
The President is our servant. Not our Caesar.
Respectfully, Hunter

P.S. Cage match between me and Don Jr.? Your call on the venue. Anywhere but the South Lawn.

Stephen Colbert and David Letterman paying tribute to Obama’s infamous tan suit at the Presidential Center opening is exactly the level of pettiness and historical accuracy I respect. 😂

Some controversies deserve a reunion tour.

Four presidents. Zero drama. Just smiles, respect, and a shared love of country. 🇺🇸

Dan Goldman deserves your vote. He earned it

[Daniel Goldman @danielsgoldman]

Such a proud moment to vote alongside my family today. My wife and kids are so central to the work I do in Congress, from co-founding the Dads Caucus to expanding reproductive freedom to tackling climate change to preserving and protecting our democracy. With a tyrant in the White House, their future is on the line.

I’m lucky to be able to fight for a brighter future for them and every New Yorker. 

When we take back the majority, we need bold, seasoned fighters who are ready to take on the fascist in the White House and pass a progressive agenda. I’m ready. Let’s win this.

It was in this palace in June of 1919 that the President of Germany Gustav Bauer signed the treaty of surrender and agreed to pay restitution to the allies. Trump is clueless as to what he just did.

Decency and unity. Thanks for reminding us that people in the U.S. value honesty and compassion.

Today, Hillary and I were honored to be on the South Side of Chicago to celebrate the opening of the Obama Presidential Center. The Obama Center tells the story of eight years of progress, and is a stirring reminder of the power—and responsibility—we have as citizens shape a better future.

Congratulations, Barack and Michelle, on this extraordinary accomplishment!

Today in Chicago, @BarackObama and @MichelleObama reminded Americans how we can be our best as a country, just as they did during their eight years in the White House.

It was a great honor to participate in today’s opening for the Obama Presidential Center, whose purpose of empowering people to make positive change is timely and needed.

Kratom is a plant from Asia that hits the same brain receptors as opioids. People take it for energy or pain. It can be addictive and it can kill.

People buy it at gas stations, with no age check and no honest label.

Markwayne Mullin owns up to a million dollars in a kratom company. Then he stood at an FDA podium and pushed rules to crush that company’s rivals. He never sold the stock.

The company was founded by a felon who stole $10 million and did prison time. His kratom shots are tied to liver damage, seizures, and death. The stuff showed up in 5,200 overdose deaths in five years. A 27 year old grad student took it for six weeks and died. His mother says a real ban would have saved him.

You cannot make this up. The same company paid a Trump connected lobbyist $600,000.

Then the payoff. The Justice Department dropped its lawsuit. The FDA scrubbed the warnings off its website. RFK Jr. called Ohio’s governor to kill a state ban. And the company wired a million dollars to a PAC tied to Kennedy.

This is the swamp they swore to drain. It is worse than ever before.

The sky over Moscow is black from the smoke of burning oil. Oil rain may fall on the Kremlin itself.

In Putin's most important city, his weakness and the ruin he has led Russia to is now clear for all to see.

No amount of propaganda can hide the scale of his failures now.🔥

I have an idea for you. Get a bunch of Dem donors to buy or lease or take over a small hospital. Plenty are close to going out of business.

Have it charge ONLY MEDICARE RATES. For everything. Be completely transparent with every penny you spend so everyone can see what it truly costs to run a small hospital.

See if you can make it work. See what services you can offer. Do not ask for any government subsidies. It has to operate at least to break even.

There are some hospitals that already do this. It wouldn’t be unique. If it works out, you can buy another one. Then another one. Till you have a network.

I’ll help where I can. And for those asking the inevitable, I have tried. As I posted earlier, they all ghosted me after learning how transparent I wanted to be.
