I will never stop exercising my constitutional rights to stand up for Minnesotans and the American freedoms we hold dear.
My full statement on DOJ’s politically motivated investigation:
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.
Yesterday, we celebrated the opening of The Door's expanded facilities at the Bronx Drop-In Center for young people experiencing housing instability. Thank you to @NYCYouth for their support, and @CMAmandaFarias@chantelj79@cmjustinsanchez for joining us & being our partners!
Barack and I were so honored to have @AkunyiliCrosby create our portrait for the Obama Presidential Center. Her artistic brilliance shines through — and the way she infused such life and joy into the piece is truly extraordinary. We love it, and we think everyone who visits the Center will too!
I wouldn’t be where I am today without the love and support that @MichelleObama has poured into me over the years. Her story — from her South Side roots to the White House and beyond — is a central part of the Obama Presidential Center.
A Louisiana resident named Marshawn didn’t hold back today and didn’t care who he offended with what he said. He’s right; this is MAGA’s last gasp for air. The courage of these residents to speak out gives me hope for our future. #DemsUnited
CAMBA sends thanks to the Mamdani Administration for baselining $31M for LTW programs in the FY27 Executive Budget. We have seen the impact this investment has on vulnerable students on the path to graduation and long-term success.
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.
