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.

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.

“They told us voting is a privilege, not a right.”

That’s what I heard from students at North Carolina A&T who are fighting to protect access to the ballot.

These young leaders are organizing, speaking out, and refusing to let anyone take their power, and I am so proud of them.

Nevadans deserve a governor who will fight every day to lower costs and protect their fundamental freedoms. They have that leader in Aaron Ford, and I have been so proud to support his campaign.

Congratulations on your primary victory, @AaronDFordNV. On to November.

[Aaron D. Ford @AaronDFordNV]

Nevada, thank you.

We’re going to be there in November, and we’re going to win.

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

Congratulations to @XavierBecerra. I am excited to offer him all the support I can as he sets out to become our state’s next governor.

This race has featured a large field with many strong candidates, and I am confident that our party will now unite behind Xavier and his calm, steady brand of leadership.

I have been fortunate to see firsthand how Xavier never shies away from the biggest fights, whether it was taking on the drug companies as Secretary of Health and Human Services or going after sex traffickers and big polluters as California’s Attorney General. I know as Governor, he will do whatever it takes to stand up to Donald Trump, defend our rights, and protect our communities.

I look forward to standing with Xavier as California makes history by electing our first Latino governor in 150 years.

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!

California, our primary election is on June 2. Make sure your ballot is filled out and submitted on time.

To everyone across the country, this is your reminder to stay engaged. Know your election dates, check your registration status, and make sure you are prepared to vote.

Your vote is your voice, and your voice is your power. And we're not going to let anyone take our power from us.

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

Today, we pause to remember the Americans who laid down their lives in service to our nation.

May we always honor their legacy and support the loved ones they left behind.

Rafe Pomerance was one of the earliest advocates in the fight against climate change. He rang the alarm and helped the United States government take the threat of a warming world seriously. Though they may never know his name, millions of people around the country and world have benefitted from his tenacious advocacy and fight for a cleaner planet.

Rafe holds a special place in my heart. Husband of one of my mother's best friends, he was a kind, curious, and thoughtful person. I am so grateful for the conversations and memories we shared over the decades.

Our entire family feels blessed to have had Rafe in our lives. We continue to hold him in our hearts and prayers along with his wife, our Auntie Lenore; his children, Benjamin, Lilah, and Ethan; his siblings, grandchildren, and all who loved him.

Georgia, it’s Election Day.

You have the chance to send Miracle Rankin and Jen Jordan to the Georgia Supreme Court. They are extraordinary leaders who will fight to protect your rights and uphold the rule of law.

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

You can redraw districts, but you cannot erase the power of the people.

This week, I spoke with @Justinjpearson about our continued fight for voting rights — even in the face of efforts to silence and divide us.

My mother, Dr. Shyamala Gopalan Harris, came to this country at 19 years old to pursue an education and a life of purpose. Everything my sister and I became began with the love she raised us with and the sacrifices she made.

Today, I am thinking of her and wishing a happy Mother's Day to all of the mothers, stepmoms, grandmothers, godmothers, and aunties who shape, inspire, and love us.

Last month in Virginia, the people made their voices heard at the ballot box and voted for new Congressional maps.

Today, the Virginia Supreme Court ignored the will of the people and overturned those democratically chosen maps.

This ruling gives a boost to Donald Trump's effort to rig the 2026 elections and the Republicans' long game to attack voting rights.

We are rightfully outraged, but we will not give up. We must continue our fight to restore the power of the people.

Mifepristone is safe and effective health care, and access to health care should be a right for every American.

[The Associated Press @AP]

BREAKING: A federal appeals court has blocked mailing prescriptions to mifepristone, restricting access to one of the most common means of abortion. https://t.co/NbIBTAT0UE

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

Today’s Supreme Court ruling guts the Voting Rights Act and turns back the clock on the foundational promise of equality and fairness in our election systems.

Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act was one of the last remaining federal protections for Black and brown voters against maps deliberately drawn to dilute their political power. That protection has been stripped away.

It is an outrage. But it is not a surprise.

It is part of an agenda that conservatives set in place decades ago to steal power from everyday people and then cling to that power for generations.

The court’s decision is motivated by politics and designed to give an upper hand to Donald Trump’s Republican Party, which faces the threat of losing the upcoming midterm elections.

We must pay attention to what happens next.

The fight now returns to the states. Legislatures — particularly those in the South — will rush to redraw districts before voting for the midterms begins in just a few months. Already, Louisiana and Florida are planning to redraw their maps, and we should not be surprised if others rapidly follow suit ahead of the midterms and 2028. Their politically-motivated power grab is meant to protect elected Republicans from any consequences for their failure to make groceries, gas, health care, or housing more affordable for you and your family. They want to cheat and choose their voters, instead of the voters deciding who they choose.

The mission before us is to restore the power of the people. There is no question our fight became harder today, but I know we are up for the battle.

Michael Tilson Thomas approached his work with creativity, innovation, and passion. He loved music, and he loved the impact music made on his audience and the world.

I was lucky to enjoy his work for many years at the San Francisco Symphony, and I was even more fortunate to call MTT a friend. Doug and I send our prayers to his family, friends, and all those who have been touched by his brilliance.
