“God, I believe You’re going to bring me out, but in the meantime, I’m asking You to come into this struggle in my health, come into this loss that I’m going through, come into this depression that’s trying to stop me.” - Joel Osteen
Michelle Obama: Not once did you melt from the heat. Not once did you let it harden you… the claims that a U.S. Senator and constitutional law expert wasn't qualified for the job. The lies about your birthright, your faith, your patriotism, the outrage when you stated the biological fact that if you'd had a son that he too would be black, yet you were unflappable at every turn, always focused.
Michelle Obama to Barack Obama: You were doing the people's work. Rescuing our economy. Expanding healthcare. Ending a war. Ordering the Bin Laden raid. Saving the auto industry. Winning a peace prize. Keeping us safe from Ebola. Regulating the banks. Standing up for marriage equality. Listening to science. And comforting an entire nation. And you did it all with such grace, and class, and cool.

We're not crying, you are.🥹
Michelle Obama stepped to that podium and gave her husband every single flower he deserved. She spoke directly to Barack and brought him to tears.
This is what love and legacy look like. 🖤
It means so much to Barack and me to open up the Obama Presidential Center on the South Side of Chicago. This is where I grew up, where Barack got his start, and where we raised our girls. So having a place where kids from our community can see themselves, connect with each other, and channel their hope—there’s nothing more powerful than that.
FULL INTERVIEW: Former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama give Robin Roberts a look at the brand-new Obama Presidential Center.
“The Obama Legacy: First Interview Post-White House” airs tonight at 8:30 p.m. ET on ABC News Live, then on Hulu and Disney+.
Viola Davis’ career spans decades, with some of her biggest milestones coming later in life.
She grew up in “abject poverty,” living in rat infested, condemned buildings and at times eating out of garbage cans and dumpsters.
In 2015, she became the first woman of color to win the Emmy for best lead actress in a drama for "How to Get Away With Murder." A year later, she won an Academy Award for "Fences," a role that had already earned her a Tony Award.
In 2023, she completed EGOT status with a Grammy for narrating her memoir "Finding Me." She is also a co owner of JuVee Productions, which helped bring "The Woman King" to the screen.
She is one of the greatest living self-made Americans on the #Forbes250 list. https://t.co/dD3PMhGYdb

To everyone who helped bring the Obama Presidential Center to life, thank you. Michelle and I are so grateful for all your dedication and hard work over the years.
I got a little teary-eyed tonight thinking about my mother-in-law, Marian Robinson.

@NYCMayor Zohran Mamdani shares his memories from the last time Arsenal played in the #UCL final 🏆
“Why argue with an Arsenal fan when you can just wait?” We waited. We won. We are champions of England - and we are just one game away from being crowned champions of Europe. Read my piece on what Arsenal means to me here: https://t.co/J6cg388mRH
If you are an Arsenal fan, you can’t miss this.
It’s deeper than you think, you will feel it again when the boys actually lift it.
From Mikel’s interview, it looked like it hasn’t really sunk in yet for him - it’s the same for us.
