Redefining the Texas narrative: Forward-thinking, compassionate, and proud.

NEW: A baby duck has now died at the reflecting pool.

This image was shared with me in the past hour by someone who visited the reflecting pool. It is unclear what the cause of death is.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

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.

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

To know Barack and Michelle is to understand: They have always believed that leadership is about leaving something behind that empowers others.

Today's opening of the Obama Presidential Center reflects that vision. It will continue to invest in future generations and encourage people to see themselves as part of something bigger.

Congratulations, my friends. What a remarkable day.

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

The story and celebration of Juneteenth started in Galveston, but its impact is felt far beyond Texas.

Generations of Americans refused to accept that freedom should belong to some and not others. They understood that freedom is something to cherish, and that each generation must continue the fight for justice and equality.

Today, we celebrate all of the joy of Juneteenth. And we recommit ourselves to ensuring the promise of America belongs to all of us.

Imagine Trump ever being invited to join a photo like this — not in a million years.

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

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

Juneteenth marks the celebration of America's second independence day.

Like the people in this photo—celebrating the day in 1900—we know that progress hasn't made our union perfect. But we can recommit to reaching toward that more perfect union together.

Happy Juneteenth.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

To George and Laura, Bill and Hillary — we're grateful for your friendship, counsel, and devotion to this country. And to Joe and Jill, thank you for being on this journey with us.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

We can’t wait to welcome you to the Obama Presidential Center. Tune in now to hear our remarks along with performances by artists and changemakers from around the world who will join us here on the South Side of Chicago. https://t.co/WvFn8i3IKM

[The Obama Foundation @ObamaFoundation]

Opening the Obama Presidential Center on the South Side of Chicago means so much to Michelle Obama - a full circle journey.

[Michelle Obama @MichelleObama]

It means so much to Barack and me to open up the Obama Presidential Center on the South Side of Chicago. This is where I grew up, where Barack got his start, and where we raised our girls. So having a place where kids from our community can see themselves, connect with each other, and channel their hope—there’s nothing more powerful than that.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

It was great joining Njideka Akunyili Crosby — a gifted Nigerian-born, Los Angeles-based artist — to unveil our first portrait together. This piece reflects so many chapters of Michelle and my story, and we’re thrilled that it will be on display in the Hope and Change lobby at the Obama Presidential Center starting this Juneteenth.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Chicago, it’s good to be home!

Michelle and I built the Obama Presidential Center to be a place where people of all ages can learn, play, and work – and we can't wait to welcome you all later this week!

“I planted sunflowers and vegetables outside my home. The city says it’s not mine.”

“It grew a few feet too close to the corner — so they tore out ALL of it.”

Taxpayer-funded crews sent to rip up a woman’s food over a few feet of dirt.

@LisaE333 @PopBase I thought it was Will Ferrell at first glance 😅

“You can see the surface of the Moon…we just went sci-fi.”

On flight day seven, images from our @NASAArtemis II crew amazed, turning science fiction to reality. From the lunar far side to a solar eclipse from the Moon, the views are EVERYTHING. No pressure to pick a favorite.

@theTSupdates Looks like sea horses to me

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

I continue to follow the situation in the Middle East with dismay. Like other regions of the world, it is torn apart by war and violence. We cannot remain silent in the face of the suffering of so many defenseless victims of these conflicts. What wounds them wounds all of humanity. The death and pain caused by these wars is a scandal for the entire human family and a cry that rises to God!

@LauraLoomer It’s a cult…

@iwithkhan @mjfree They broke his arm! You can hear the bones crack.

[Jasmine Crockett @JasmineForUS]

This morning I called James and congratulated him on becoming the Senate nominee. Texas is primed to turn blue and we must remain united because this is bigger than any one person. This is about the future of all 30 million Texans and getting America back on track. With the primary behind us, Democrats must rally around our nominees and win. I’m committed to doing my part and will continue working to elect democrats up and down the ballot.
