Of all the titles and experiences I have had thus far, the one I am most proud of is being “Bertha’s grandson.” Thank you to the @Suntimes, specifically @mitchdudek, for telling my grandmother’s story: https://t.co/PzV0EZQ9VN.

NEW: Ahead of Juneteenth, Gov. Andy Beshear posthumously pardoned 43 people who were imprisoned for helping enslaved people escape to freedom.

Fact.

Former VP @KamalaHarris tells @Elex_Michaelson in Vienna that she’s “not surprised” that Trump may be using the DOJ to “go after” @GavinNewsom. She calls the Trump admin “the most callous, corrupt, and incompetent presidential administration America has ever experienced.”

Good morning from the greatest state in the union.

[JB Pritzker @JBPritzker]

As a Democrat, if you aren't standing up and speaking loudly against tyranny—you're doing it wrong.

[Michelle Obama @MichelleObama]

Barack and I were so honored to have @AkunyiliCrosby create our portrait for the Obama Presidential Center. Her artistic brilliance shines through — and the way she infused such life and joy into the piece is truly extraordinary. We love it, and we think everyone who visits the Center will too!

Women make up roughly half of U.S. labor union membership.

And Black and Latina women are gaining ground in leadership spots, landing positions at some of the biggest unions in the U.S. https://t.co/ltrdW0VC0U

Five years after city leaders created an Equitable Transit-Oriented Development plan to spur development near public transit on the South and West sides, a new report touts "substantial progress" on many of those 2021 recommendations. https://t.co/R5FBS0LmVg

Pride is joy. Pride is courage. Pride is a celebration. And Pride is the ongoing fight to ensure every person can live as their authentic self.

This month and every month, we celebrate the LGBTQ+ community and all those continuing the fight for equality.

Happy Pride!

[Mayor Brandon Johnson @ChicagosMayor]

I am the first mayor of Chicago in modern history that doesn't have ties to the political machine. No one made me, except for the people that raised me. That's working people. And that's who I'm always going to fight for.

[Democratic Party of Illinois @illinoisdems]

Start Here. Win Everywhere.

Today, DPI @ChairHernandez made the case to the DNC that Illinois is the best state in the nation to host an early presidential primary in 2028.

Urban, suburban, rural. Safe and accessible elections. Strong infrastructure.

We've got it all. ⬇️

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

By the end of Trump’s term, it’ll be just enough to buy one gallon of gas and a carton of eggs.

[The Obama Foundation @ObamaFoundation]

It was a crowd connection that defined an era. President and Mrs. Obama got out of their motorcade - twice - to be closer to the 72,000 Americans lining the parade route during the 2009 Inaugural Parade. Today that moment of joy is preserved for all at the Obama Presidential Center. And now, you can be part of it.

From rendering to reality.

I was proud to visit the Obama Presidential Center. It was also an honor to see my name on the worker wall–a tribute to those that helped build this.

Thank you to the @ObamaFoundation, @BarackObama, and @MichelleObama!

An honor to be in this fight alongside you, @LaurenUnderwood.

[Lauren Underwood @LaurenUnderwood]

With their gutting of the Voting Rights Act, SCOTUS is ushering in a new confederacy.

First they strike down the voting rights amendment, then they strike down legally drawn democratic maps.

Power belongs in the hands of the voters — not unelected elites. From me and @aoc:
