Thirteen years ago, my administration acted to protect young people who were American in every single way but one: on paper.
DACA was an example of how we can be a nation of immigrants and a nation of laws. And it’s an example worth remembering today, when families with similar backgrounds who just want to live, work, and support their communities, are being demonized and treated as enemies.
We can fix our broken immigration system while still recognizing our common humanity and treating each other with dignity and respect. In fact, it’s the only way we ever will.

@WhiteHouse Everyone saying, "Clearly Trump is joking with the, 'LONG LIVE THE KING' part", would have spontaneously combusted if for example, President Obama, had made the same, "joke". Everyone that didn't catch fire would've been marching on the White House, and y'all know it.
@Conservativeind@DavidShuster Here's the real deal: kids weren't smarter then; they just were better represented in the schools. Until 1975, schools did not have to educate the handicapped- physically or mentally, so many were discouraged from attending regular school. And, anyone who wanted to drop out did.
Thank you, North Carolina! I am honored to serve as your next governor. Tonight, we came together to resoundingly embrace a vision that is optimistic, forward-looking, and welcoming. I couldn't have done this without each of you.
It took several days to count every ballot in 2020, and it’s very likely we won’t know the outcome tonight either. So please keep a few things in mind as you make your voice heard today:
– Thousands of election workers around the country are working hard today. Respect them. Thank them.
– Don’t share things before checking your sources.
– Let the process run its course. It takes time to count every ballot.
Nevaeh Crain died 3 days shy of her 19th birthday—as a direct result of a dangerous and cruel Republican abortion ban.
Today, she should be turning 20.
This never should have happened, and it's our responsibility right now to stop it from happening to more girls and women.
This is how dictators destroy free nations. They threaten those who speak against them with death. We cannot entrust our country and our freedom to a petty, vindictive, cruel, unstable man who wants to be a tyrant. #Womenwillnotbesilenced#VoteKamala
Quick update on Helene response to address some concerns we're all seeing online.
Military, FEMA, blockades, gov't creating hurricanes, etc.
Bottom-line: Western North Carolina is pulling together. They need our support. This is the beginning of a long-term mission.
As we continue our unprecedented response to Hurricane Helene, the nation is beginning to understand that impacted areas have been the target of a relentless vortex of disinformation, dialed up by bad actors and platforms like X. 🧵
Our western communities face a long road to recovery. If want to help, consider donating to these organizations:

One thing that natural disasters do is remind us that competent leadership, with serious people who live and think in the real world, actually matters.
No one cares about a dumb culture war obsession when the roads get washed out. You want the grownups directing relief efforts.
Never ever underestimate them.
Revere them. Respect them. Pay them more. Let them be the professionals they are.
I’ll do that as North Carolina Superintendent of Public Instruction.
Durham, you are fired up and ready to go! Thank you for hosting me this week.
The Bull City is filled with many champions of public education. Together, we will meet this moment in support of our public schools.
Earlier this week, Michelle and I called our friend @KamalaHarris. We told her we think she’ll make a fantastic President of the United States, and that she has our full support. At this critical moment for our country, we’re going to do everything we can to make sure she wins in November. We hope you’ll join us.
