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.
It reminds me of the story of Marian holding Obama’s hand after the election was called for him because he was about to be the leader of the free world and didn’t have either parent with him so she stepped in to be that for him in that moment.

In some areas, children are still getting food, but not pregnant mothers.

I've been doing this work a long time but nothing prepared me for what I saw on a recent reporting trip in Somalia. I was there to look into rising food and fuel prices from the war in the Middle East landing atop dramatic cuts to the international humanitarian relief system.

"Trump’s most lethal policy will almost surely be his 71% cut in humanitarian aid from 2024 to 2025....The aid cuts cost more than 750,000 lives worldwide in their first year" and "will cost 9.4M lives by 2030," including 2.5 million children under age 5. https://t.co/ZkrwATKcj5

The kid makes the catch… then hands it to his little sister and gives her a hug. How can you not love baseball
Meet Grace and Michael, the couple who became a meme Thursday night for their conversation caught on the Pacers’ broadcast.
So, what were they talking about? https://t.co/mCNBo8n07r
I’ve taken on Trump before—and won. Protecting healthcare, public lands, fundamental rights, and our democracy first in Congress, and then as Secretary of the Interior. Now I am ready to deliver again as your governor, New Mexico.
Lately, there has been an uptick in fabricated quotes and AI-generated images of me on social media. Even seemingly innocuous quotes can be spread to stoke division and misrepresent perspectives. AI slop on social media is becoming a dangerous vehicle for misinformation.
If you see a post from a page you don’t recognize, take a moment to verify it before sharing it. And I'll continue to push for common-sense guard rails and digital citizenship tools to protect all of us from fake or violent content.

STATEMENT ON IRAN SCHOOL STRIKE “We are horrified by the latest reports concerning the February 28th strike on an Iranian
elementary school near the town of Minab, which resulted in the killing of at least 175 people, most of whom
This is simply unacceptable.
The United States and the United States alone gets to decide whether we are going to war. And you better believe that Congress must be a part of it.
I will not be intimidated for a single second by the Trump Administration or Justice Department lawyers who tried and failed to indict me today. American citizens on a grand jury refused to go along with this attempt to charge me with a crime for stating the law in a way Trump and his enablers didn’t like.
They may want Americans to be afraid to speak out or to disagree—but patriotism demands courage in this moment. DON’T GIVE UP THE SHIP!
1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.
Hundreds of kids are still detained. We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵
Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.
Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.
Thank you to everyone who demanded freedom for Liam. We won’t stop until all children and families are home.
