@AynRandPaulRyan The danger to the migrants is not the journey, it is the trump administration! I cannot stress enough how dangerous this administration is!

Dear Republican Leaders,
Remember when we had a Senator who put country over party? Because it was the right thing to do. l can count on one hand the number of you cowards that have done the same. You have sold your souls to a felon, sex offender & cheat. History will not be kind
BREAKING: Mayor Zohran Mamdani is urging Haitian and Syrian New Yorkers not to panic after the Supreme Court’s ruling allowing the Trump administration to end certain deportation protections.
“If you’re worried about what this means for your status or your family, call the Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs,” Mamdani said, directing residents to the city’s immigrant assistance hotline at 1-800-354-0365.
Moments like this remind us that leadership isn’t just about policy, it’s about making sure people know where to turn when they’re afraid.
BREAKING: Obama just PERFECTLY diagnosed Trump's bizarre obsession with him — and it's a brutal indictment of Dementia Donnie’s presidency.
Barack Obama just put words to something millions of Americans have noticed for nearly a decade: Donald Trump is utterly, pathologically OBSESSED with him, and Obama explained exactly why that should terrify anyone who cares about the country.
Speaking on the "All The Smoke" podcast with Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson, Obama was asked about Trump's fixation. His response was as cool as it was devastating.
"I obviously have a room in his head," Obama said, as the hosts jumped in: "Rent free."
"A SUITE in his head," Obama corrected, drawing laughs.
But then he turned serious — and landed the real blow. Obama explained that when YOU'RE actually doing the job of president, you simply don't have time to obsess over anyone else.
"When I was president, the last thing I had time to do was worry about what somebody said or what my predecessor did. They're gone. I've got work to do."
He continued: "It's hard to describe how, if you're doing the job right, every day you've got five, ten things that are real hard and you have to be constantly focused. The idea that I'd be worrying about somebody who came before me, trying to measure what's he done today — constantly worried about that is a strange thing to me."
Then came the kicker that cuts straight to the heart of Trump's entire presidency: "It shows me somebody who's NOT focused on the American people."
That's the whole thing right there. While Americans struggle with $6 gas, soaring grocery prices, a war nobody wanted, and healthcare being stripped away to fund billionaire tax cuts — Trump is on Truth Social at 2am ranting about Obama, posting fake videos, and stewing over a man who left office nearly a decade ago.
Obama is living rent-free in a beachfront SUITE in Trump's head. And every minute Trump spends there is a minute he's NOT spending on the people who actually need a president working for them.
Focused leaders don't obsess. They WORK for the citizens of this country. The only work Donald Trump does at this point is focused on his own enrichment.
Please like and share if you wish Obama could be president again!
REPUBLICAN SEN. TILLIS: “What Freakin’ parallel universe did I wake up in? You’re telling me — if it’s true — damaging the reflecting pool lining is something Pirro wants to prosecute… yet they’re releasing people who pled guilty to assaulting officers?”
Since Trump doesn't want this portrait of President Obama displayed in the White House, let's make this photo of our President go viral here!
RETWEET if you love @BarackObama!
The Lessons I Learned from My Dad
I am not the man my father is.
I am trying. Some days closer. Some days farther.
He never sat me down and explained these lessons. He lived them. I’m still learning them.
Show up.
The kitchen table. The hospital room. The funeral. The picket line. The call from the son who won’t answer.
Show up.
Most days that’s the whole job.
My whole life I watched him do it. Not for cameras. Not for headlines. Not because there was something in it for him. He showed up because someone needed him.
I learned that grief doesn’t make you special.
My father buried a wife and daughter. He buried a son. Yet he never treated grief as a claim on other people’s sympathy. Instead, it made him notice theirs.
A mother who lost a child. A father sitting beside a hospital bed. A kid scared about what comes next. A son who lost his mother, his sister, his brother.
He always noticed.
I learned that power is not the point.
The people who chase power eventually confuse the office with themselves.
My father never did.
Whether he was a county councilman, a senator, vice president, or president, he was the same man.
The title changed.
He didn’t.
I learned that family comes first.
The train from Wilmington wasn’t symbolism.
It was every night.
He read to us. Showed up to games. Sat through hospital rooms. Waited up for children who were lost.
And when the day came that the country and the family could not both have him at full strength, he chose family. He relinquished the last chapter of how he wanted to be remembered. And he never complained about it.
Most of all, I learned that love is not soft.
Love is discipline.
Love is showing up at one in the morning when nobody is watching.
Love is answering the phone.
Love is staying.
Love is getting back up after life knocks you down and doing it all again tomorrow.
That love saved my life.
I’ve failed at many of these lessons, sometimes in very public ways.
He loved me anyway.
That’s the last lesson.
I am not trying to become my father.
I am trying to carry what he gave me.
And if I can do that, even imperfectly, that will be enough.
Happy Father’s Day, Dad. I love you.
#BREAKING: Lawrence re Trump calling Obama a “stupid SOB” in France: “Once again, the standard warning we should be issuing to anyone under say 25 years old, who might not know that presidents have NEVER spoken about previous presidents that way, and especially NEVER criticized previous presidents while in a foreign country as Trump was today, in France.” 😳
For the last 13 years, the Bush Center has proudly carried the flag as the “new kid on the presidential center block.” Today, the @BarackObama Presidential Center takes on that role. On behalf of all of us at the Bush Center, congratulations to the @ObamaFoundation team. Take it from us: once the pomp and circumstance of opening passes, the real fun begins: serving the American people and guests from around the world. We’ll be cheering you on from Dallas!

We are suing to prevent Donald Trump from controlling mail-in voting by dictating to the Postal Service of whose ballot they will and won't deliver. All of this is laddering up to Trump trying to dictate who gets to vote and who doesn't.
Imagine Trump ever being invited to join a photo like this — not in a million years.
Four presidents. Zero drama. Just smiles, respect, and a shared love of country. 🇺🇸
How the fuck do we have $300 billion to rebuild Iran after we spent $80 billion bombing it, when we don’t “have the money” for pediatric cancer research?
After hearing what was said about Michelle Obama at the White House last night, I can’t stay silent.
She’s a Princeton- and Harvard-educated attorney, a former First Lady, and a global example of intelligence, grace, and elegance.
I’m speaking up because she taught us: *“When they go low, we go high.”* That means calling out disrespect while still choosing dignity.
I stand with Michelle Obama. And she represents the best of American values.
