So well put … “We need leaders who understand the impact their decisions have on the lives of the people they represent — not rubber-stamp politicians” https://t.co/BUPdYOXZ53

“Determined enough to build the world as it should be”! Beautiful!! https://t.co/nL01eGwuQt

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

Barack Obama at his last press briefing with reporters, 2017:

"I have enjoyed working with all of you. That does not, of course, mean that I've enjoyed every story that you have filed, but that's the point of this relationship. You're not supposed to be sycophants. You're supposed to be skeptics. You're supposed to ask me tough questions. You're not supposed to be complimentary, but you're supposed to cast a critical eye on folks who hold enormous power."

@RonFilipkowski @MeidasTouch Paid him back … with government favors? No one believes for a second with money.

@Acyn Well done people!! Way to represent!!

@jake_zuckerman And this is why we must vote for Maria Jukic in November. As she often says “if nothing changes, nothing changes.” We need leaders who push back when needed. #MariaJukic

@AJEnglish So we are now taking orders from Houthis in addition to Putin and Netanyahu …. ??

It is so very hard to believe that this is happening in our country … let’s return to being the beacon of hope and light, not hate and greed. https://t.co/JKqp2lL42p

I am utterly ashamed.

I am utterly ashamed that the US has stopped any help to Ukraine. We promised Ukrainians that if they give up their nuclear weapons we will guarantee their sovereignty. We made it official and called it the 1994 Budapest Memorandum. But when Ukrainian sovereignty came under attack in 2014, we did nothing. Just as we are doing nothing today to stop the russian aggression.

I am utterly ashamed of the US president – a man who not only refused to help Ukraine survive, but openly sided with war criminal Putin. Since Trump took office, russia has exponentially increased its missile and drone strikes on Ukrainian cities and civilians. Trump gave them silent permission.

I am utterly ashamed of those who voted for Trump, and especially those who still, after all the lies and betrayals, continue to cheer him on. I find such behavior despicable and morally bankrupt.

Finally, I am utterly ashamed of everyone who remains silently complicit in this genocide. People who claim that they are "neutral." The time of judgment will come – whether in this life or eternity. As Dietrich Bonhoeffer said: "Silence in the face of evil is itself evil; God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act."

“I came without a speech, because I’m hungry.

“I’m hungry for justice, hungry for authentic charity, hungry for a Church that truly knows how to open the doors, welcome, receive everyone, where there is love for all and where no one is an enemy.”

@SenJonHusted Yes, it has been a successful formula so why hellbent on burning it all down? Fight back harder on the corruption, lawlessness and incompetence doing so very much damage to our great country.

@DaveJoyceOH14 So grateful to be born in America and remain hopeful that we continue our pursuit of life, liberty and pursuit of happiness for all. BUT need leadership to stop the blatant corruption and overall slide into fascism. #StandUp

@DaveJoyceOH14 Congratulations!!

@Acyn Everything this man touches is destroyed … casinos, construction projects, and countries - first America, now Venezuela. #TrumpisIncompent

[Acyn @Acyn]

Obama: When American foreign policy lives up to our highest ideals, when we champion human rights and democracy and the sound stewardship of our planet, when we take the lead in eradicating disease and feeding the hungry and educating children, when we encourage cooperation between nations, instead of trying to dominate and bully and squeeze every advantage just because we can, and most of all, when we show through our example here at home that even a country as big and diverse as ours can make democracy work, it turns out all nations, including ours, become more prosperous and secure, and the world gets a little bit brighter

I will never begrudge rewards for genius and hard work, but the tax system isn’t working if 3,000 people hold equivalent 20% of the worlds output. #Inequality https://t.co/F8h9JM995k

@TheLeadCNN @jaketapper This is sickening … we can not call ourselves a Christian nation and treat others this way
