[Michelle Obama @MichelleObama]

Barack: You told me all those years ago that you couldn’t promise me the world, but you could promise me an interesting life. Of course, you outdid yourself and managed to give me both.

Eight years in the crucible, and not once did you melt from the heat. Not once did you let it harden you. Instead, you used it to reveal your truest essence: your stubborn optimism and unflinching courage, your dazzling brilliance and unpretentious decency, your ferocious work ethic and absolutely unshakable moral fiber.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

More than 40 years ago, I arrived in Chicago in search of an idea. I was a young man looking for purpose, who believed deeply in America, was inspired by the Civil Rights Movement, and wanted to be a part of something larger. The America I believed in was one where everyone has opportunity, everyone is seen, everyone belongs—because that was an America that had a place for me, too.

Facts are annoying to Republicans.

[Jake Justice @jakecobb]

They want you to forget. They don’t want you to see this.

Keep sharing this so we can’t forget what they did to us that day.

[Morgan J. Freeman @mjfree]

And just like that, it’s completely VANISHED from the media.

A sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children.

Lets make this viral again 👇

In other words, the war is over, we're stumbling toward some version of the JCPOA, America is out billions of dollars and lots of weapons that we didn't need to waste, and the United States is now weaker and Iran in a strategically stronger position.
And for what?

Trump announces that he is raising prices on imported cars

@vismaleaseabike Well done Ben. Smart & strong race!!

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world. Most of all, it’s a testament to the resilience and determination of the Hungarian people – and a reminder to all of us to keep striving for fairness, equality and the rule of law.

@vismaleaseabike Great comeback!!

[Furkan Gözükara @FurkanGozukara]

Absolute insanity. A CNN panel reveals the ONLY source claiming Iran was building 11 nukes was Steve Witkoff, a real estate developer with zero intelligence background. The actual DNI testified the exact opposite. They started a war based on a developer's lie!

Just one day.
Can we just have one goddamn day when he doesn’t embarrass the fuck out of us all? Just one?

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

This exchange just happened on the Senate floor.
Cornyn: “I don’t understand how the SAVE Act disenfranchises voters.”

Durbin: “Happy to explain. Driver’s licenses don’t qualify under the bill. 50% of Americans don’t have passports.”
Cornyn: “Why not just amend it?”

Durbin: “When’s the last time the Senate actually amended a bill?”

Silence.

The SAVE Act requires passport-level documentation to register to vote.

50% of Americans don’t have a passport.

The people least likely to have passports: the elderly, the poor, rural Americans, young first-time voters.

The people most likely to have passports: wealthy Americans.

This is not voter protection.

This is voter selection.

And when a senator suggested fixing it — his own colleague couldn’t name the last time the Senate amended anything.

That’s the Senate in 2026.

[The Good Trouble Show with Matt Ford @GoodTroubleShow]

This is a tanker on fire in the Strait of Hormuz.

Trump officials just told Congress — behind closed doors — that they didn't plan for Iran closing the strait.

They launched a war without planning for the most predictable consequence in the history of U.S. national security.

This is what MAGA voted for. Gas prices up 51 cents in a week. Zero tankers moving through the world's most critical oil chokepoint. And an administration that literally admitted to Congress they didn't see it coming.

Elections have consequences. This one's on fire.

[Annie @AnnieForTruth]

DOGE was a joke. The only purpose was to steal your social security numbers & personal data. No $5,000 DOGE check, No $2,000 tariff rebate, No $1,776 dividend for veterans. Instead, we got a $1 billion/day war, escalating gas, groceries, healthcare, housing and electricity. 😡

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

Russia oil does not go through the Strait of Hormuz.

Skyrocketing oil prices provided Putin with more money to finance his war in Ukraine.

To many around the world, Trump's preemptive war against Iran looks like Putin's war in Ukraine.

Putin is benefiting from Trump's war.

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

If Israel insists on destroying civilian targets in Lebanon, let them buy and build their own weapons. American taxpayers should not be funding this.

[BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ @mmpadellan]

He won't rule out a draft.
He won't rule out ground troops.
But, on the day we learned a 7th U.S. service member has been killed, where's trump?

Golfing, as usual.

Gas prices soaring.
Groceries spiking.
Jobs disappearing.

trump is GOLFING.
