As President, I would read 10 letters a day sent to me by ordinary Americans. At the Obama Presidential Center, we’ll have some of the letters I read — and responded to — every night. I still get emotional reading them, and it’s one of my favorite exhibits.
Imagine the worst thing you can say about Joe Biden is that he got old while carrying the weight of the country on his shoulders.
He beat Trump when no one else could. He gave America and the world a fighting chance. He rebuilt the economy, passed historic legislation, stood with our allies, and restored dignity after four years of chaos and incompetence.
Yes, he believed he still had more to give. That is not a moral failing. That is a man who loved his country and did not want to walk away from the fight when his nation needed him. In the end, he didn't fail the country, we did, because we fully knew the stakes.
History will be much kinder to 46 than the pundits ever were. That I know.
I’ve got his back. How about you?

The Reform UK councillors who have lost their seats, quit, defected or been suspended since the local elections - Left Foot Forward: Leading the UK's progressive debate https://t.co/ReYIrztAZB
21 kicked out. 28 defected. 39 resigned. 5 suspended. 1 disqualified. 5 lost seats. That's approximately 99 Reform UK councillors and representatives who have left the party.
22 of them since the local elections just two weeks ago. The party claims "some of the strongest vetting in the country."
Here's the full list 👇
Barney Frank was one of a kind. For more than three decades in Congress, he fought tirelessly for the people of Massachusetts, helped make housing more affordable, stood up for the rights of LGBTQ+ Americans, and helped pass one of the most sweeping financial reforms in history designed to protect consumers and prevent another financial crisis. Barney’s passion and wit were second to none, and our thoughts are with his family today.
Not a day goes by that Trump is not an international embarrassment and disgrace. After Xi gets up from the table, criminal conman Trump shames himself by opening Xi's personal notebook.
It was great joining @JamesTalarico and @GinaHinojosaTX today in Texas. They're working hard to make a difference in the lives of all Texans, and will be able to do even more as your next Senator and Governor.
Let’s get it done, Texas!
I live in Georgia and I will definitely e voting for @MiracleRankinGA and @JenJordanGA
The Republican justices are horrible and why we have such appalling abortion laws. The abortion laws in this state allows women and doctors to be charged and convicted for an abortion, including miscarriage.
BE SURE TO VOTE ON MAY 19th #Georgia
#GeorgiaSupremeCourt
State supreme court justices play a critical role in defending your rights and freedoms, which is why the election happening in Georgia right now is so important.
Make sure you have a plan to vote for Jen Jordan and Miracle Rankin, the only two candidates in the race with strong records of standing up for all Georgians.
Early voting is already underway and Election Day is May 19th. Find out where you can vote at https://t.co/OHJnsHnuiB.
Just met a Reform UK voting couple who didn't know it opposed:
Rise in minimum wage
End of two-child benefit cap
Expansion of free school meals, free breakfast clubs
Help with school uniforms
Horrified that they would lose big from Reform
How many others voted without knowing?
Trump just said:
“When I get out of office in, let’s say, eight or nine years from now…”
His current term ends in 2029.
Eight or nine years from now is 2033 or 2034.
The 22nd Amendment limits presidents to two terms.
His own judicial nominees refused to confirm that on camera this week.
He’s not hiding it anymore.
Never stop connecting the dots.
The trump regime:
Bans on discrimination in hiring: GONE
Bans on segregated facilities: GONE
Housing Discrimination: Totally cool
Black unemployment: HIGH AF
Voting Rights Act: GUTTED
Racism: all the way back in trump's America.
HOW IS THIS REAL:
Trump just told a group of school children visiting the Oval Office:
“Iran was 2 weeks away from killing you.”
He is traumatizing children with war propaganda.
In the Oval Office.
Never stop connecting the dots.
🚨HOLY SHIT: I was just listening to Marjorie Taylor Greene and she confirmed Donald Trump pushed the government shutdown HIMSELF so they couldn’t vote to release the Epstein files.
This should be a major scandal.
trump: "... small price to pay for getting rid of a nuclear weapon from people that are really mentally deranged."
I support taking nuclear weapons away from this mentally deranged person. Who's with me?🤚🏽
Obama faced 11 documented assassination attempts during his presidency.
He never mentioned them publicly.
No fundraising emails.
No rallies.
No “they’re trying to silence me” speeches.
He just… governed.
Meanwhile, Trump turns every security incident into a merch opportunity, a rallying cry, and a donation link.
One man saw threats as part of the job.
The other sees them as content.
That tells you everything about their character.
