This Mother’s Day, I’m thinking about my mom, and all the lessons she taught me. I'm proud to honor her memory with the Ann Dunham Water Terrace at the Obama Presidential Center.
The countdown begins! On May 6, tickets go on sale for the Museum at the Obama Presidential Center. Mark your calendar, and follow for tips on how to book your visit! 🗓️ https://t.co/Xbv0PlUaUv
Today’s Supreme Court decision effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, freeing state legislatures to gerrymander legislative districts to systematically dilute and weaken the voting power of racial minorities - so long as they do it under the guise of “partisanship” rather than explicit “racial bias.” And it serves as just one more example of how a majority of the current Court seems intent on abandoning its vital role in ensuring equal participation in our democracy and protecting the rights of minority groups against majority overreach.
The good news is that such setbacks can be overcome. But that will only happen if citizens across the country who cherish our democratic ideals continue to mobilize and vote in record numbers - not just in the upcoming midterms or in high profile races, but in every election and every level.
No one wins alone. President Obama wants you to meet Obama Europe Leader Adélaïde Charlier, who raised awareness for climate change by leading an all-woman sailing crew across the Atlantic Ocean for one month this last November.
Adélaïde said on Instagram that she left COP 30 with warm feelings for Belém, but while there, she posted about the challenges of centering research-backed science at the conference. Yet her work continues. This inspiring trip is being turned into a documentary slated for release later in 2026.
This is what it looks like to stand up when democracy is on the line! Florida Rep. Angie Nixon disrupted a special session to protest gerrymandering, declaring, “This is a violation of the Constitution.” We must continue to protect the power of the people’s vote! ✊🏿

Although we don’t yet have the details about the motives behind last night's shooting at the White House Correspondents Dinner, it’s incumbent upon all us to reject the idea that violence has any place in our democracy. It’s also a sobering reminder of the courage and sacrifice that U.S. Secret Service Agents show every day. I’m grateful to them – and thankful that the agent who was shot is going to be okay.
What the Artemis II astronauts did over the last 10 days was a testament to their bravery. And the fact that they traveled farther from Earth than anyone ever has, re-entered our atmosphere at more than 24,000 mph, and splashed down safely was a testament to human ingenuity. Thanks to everyone at @NASA for making this mission possible, and for taking us along for the ride.
BREAKING: Kamala Harris just mocked Trump for his lies about Iran.
"The man said he got rid of their nuclear arsenal. Obliterated it, he said… which is not an ambiguous term… well evidently he didn’t do that!"
