If you were young in 2001, or werenโt even born yet, it can be hard to imagine what 9/11 felt like. The shock of that beautiful, cloudless morning. The heartbreak of the families whose loved ones were taken with such swiftness and cruelty. The realization that the forces of malevolence and violence were closer, and the future less certain, than we knew.
But in the days that followed, we felt something else, too. Pride in the rescue workers who had rushed to the scene, and the passengers who had stormed the cockpit. Admiration for the men and women who left behind lives of comfort to serve their country. A deep resolve that nothing would break the will of a truly United States of America.
Today Michelle and I are remembering those we lost that day, and those who made the ultimate sacrifice in the wars that followed. We pray for their families. And we hope Americans everywhere remember the true lesson of 9/11: that we can survive even our darkest days as long as we move forward as one nation and one people.
People struggling to pay bills, buy groceries, thousands of people still without power or clean water-
but yes- let's totally change the name of a Great Lake.
Because that's an issue that's super important to prioritize.
Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they havenโt done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.

trump Republicans will approve:
- $40 billion bailout for Argentina
- $1 billion to upgrade $400 million Qatari jet
- $172 million for TWO Kristi Noem private jets
- $230 million legal fee reimbursement to trump (!!)
- $200 million for a fancy White House ballroom that literally NOBODY asked for
But they won't extend Affordable Care Act subsidies to save the lives (and bank accounts) of millions of Americans about to see astronomical increases of as much as 400 percent -- mostly in red states.
Yeah, while you call Dems criminals and terrorists, they're fighting for you to not have to choose between your mortgage or your healthcare.
