BREAKING NEWS: Donald Trump can be PERSONALLY SUED for January 6 after the Appellate Court REJECTED his immunity arguments.

But there's MORE no one is talking about. Here is how this Decision is a DISASTER for his criminal trial too:👇 https://t.co/a3Xnj3wkag

[Michelle Obama @MichelleObama]

You learn very quickly that there is no handbook or rules to being First Lady. Technically, it’s not even an official position. And while there are spoken and unspoken expectations that provide some structure, the role is largely shaped by the passions and aspirations of the person holding it.

First Lady Rosalynn Carter understood that well.

Guided by her abiding faith and her commitment to service, Mrs. Carter used her platform in profoundly meaningful ways. Her groundbreaking work to combat the stigma faced by those struggling with their mental health brought light to so many suffering in silence. She advocated for better care for the elderly. She advanced women’s rights. And she remained a champion for those causes — and many others like building affordable housing for those in need and caring for our nation’s caregivers — in the more than four decades that followed.

When our family was in the White House, every so often, Rosalynn would join me for lunch, offering a few words of advice and always — always — a helping hand. She reminded me to make the role of First Lady my own, just like she did. I’ll always remain grateful for her support and her generosity.

Today, Barack and I join the world in celebrating the remarkable legacy of a First Lady, philanthropist, and advocate who dedicated her life to lifting up others. Her life is a reminder that no matter who we are, our legacies are best measured not in awards or accolades, but in the lives we touch. We send our thoughts and prayers to Jimmy and the entire Carter family during this difficult time.

@MichelleObama @CarterCenter Numerous federal, state and local government officials, universities, professionals, community caregivers, families and persons with mental health needs collaborated under First Lady Rosalyn Carter’s leadership in planning ways to improve mental health care in our nation.

@thehill How much to smokers spend (waste) each year on cigarettes?

@RonFilipkowski That was a copy of an infamous poster taken in front of the then US Department of Health Education and Welfare headquarters building (now headquarters of the US Department of Health and Human Services on Pennsylvania Avenue).

@IndivisibleTeam Unfortunately it's not easy for folks living in Washington DC to "get in touch with our Senators" because we don't have any. We're not a State. Is it time to fix that?

@yashar @kaitlancollins 80 buses x 45 seats = 3600 kids brainwashed into coming to DC to partake in an insurrection. Who paid $360,000+ expenses for their hotel, food, banners, T-shirts, American flags on heavy wooden club poles? Will they be posting a "What I did in DC" report for their classes?

@kim89Da @carlbernstein You need to listen to the tape to actually hear his barrage and fully get his method of intimidation

@meiselasb Regrettably you used terms: feckless, reckless, little, dumb, and fool, which downplay the true treachery and danger of this man. He knows full well what he’s doing and we are the fools if we think otherwise!

@RebeccaJarvis In many communities Public Health officials have quit because of the abuse and threats they have been subjected to from Covid-deniers and anti-mask advocates. Those communities shouldn't be surprised that there's no one there to mange the vaccine distribution.

@davidmweissman @HillaryClinton Based on the healthcare reform forums she led, Hillary understood our healthcare system better than almost anyone in the country. We needed that mastery to plan and manage our national pandemic response.

You don't suppose Emily approved transfer of Transition $$ to fund The Wall for @realDonaldTrump and is now trying to float a @DeutscheBank loan to pay it back, do you?

[Anne Drissel @AnnieBD]

Is this what it will take to rescue the Republican Party from the voracious grip of @realDonaldTrump ?
