Governor JB Pritzker signed legislation establishing July 25 as Emmett Till Day in Illinois. 71 years after his mother forced America to look at what hate does to a child, the state is putting his name on the calendar. His legacy is not just remembrance, it's a responsibility. Say his name. Teach his story. Let his life push us to be better and do better for every child who comes after him.

Retired 4-Star Navy Admiral and former Navy SEAL William McRaven on Donald Trump: "Through your actions, you have embarrassed us in the eyes of our children, humiliated us on the world stage and, worst of all, divided us as a nation."

RETWEET if you stand with Admiral McRaven!

[NY AG James @NewYorkStateAG]

This week, my office sued to block the illegal merger between @ParamountPics and @warnerbros that would raise costs for consumers and put jobs nationwide at risk.

We're fighting to keep the market fair and protect the industry New Yorkers love.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

The arguments we’re having today aren’t new. In fact, we were having many of the same ones more than 150 years ago during Reconstruction.

I recently sat down with Malcolm Gladwell to reflect on this pivotal time in our nation’s history, and the work that remains. Check out our conversation: https://t.co/yaGFO4MxGI

President Obama takes a swipe at VP Vance.

"When you have the current Vice President making a speech that is basically a blood and soil version of We the People. That it matters who your parents were and how long they've been here despite him being married to a daughter of an immigrant himself.. Hypocrisy."

America has always been a work in progress.

What has carried our nation forward is not the absence of challenges, but the willingness of ordinary people to meet them with hope, courage, and action.

As we celebrate America’s 250th birthday this weekend, we must continue to fight for one another, our democracy, and the promise of what we can build together.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Let's be clear: Trump's administration is not "America First."

It is "Trump First."

[Ed Krassenstein @EdKrassen]

New York City Mayor Mamdani just gave one of the most amazing speeches you will ever hear:

"We are told that America is exceptional because we are richer, stronger, and more powerful than everyone else.

"The truth, my friends, is that America is exceptional because here, nothing is fixed into place. The frontier may be closed. We may have walked on the moon. But the work of fulfilling the values first enshrined in the Declaration of Independence — that work endures, and it belongs to us all.

"It belongs, too, to our newest Americans: those standing here with me today, all of whom were recently naturalized. Nearly a decade ago, I, too, felt what you feel: the joy of no longer being just a New Yorker, but an American, too.

"You each hold a special power: the power to determine what America means.

"The powerful have always known their answer. America, in their view, is an arena of supremacy where only a select few are allowed freedom; where not all are created equal. America, if you ask them, becomes less the more people it welcomes. America, they will tell you, belongs only to those with the right accent or the right shade of skin. The rest of us, they insist, should be grateful for merely being allowed to visit.

"How small they are. How weak. How unoriginal.

"At every moment in our past, those who led through exclusion and isolation have tried to win power and enrich themselves by turning us against one another. Division is the oldest trick in politics — and the cheapest.

"But time and again, including 250 years ago, those forces of division have been vanquished by the forces of progress."

[Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley @RepPressley]

For America's 250th, I read Frederick Douglass’ speech, “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” on the House floor—for the first time in history.

His speech endures as a mirror & mandate for us all—to confront our inequities while fighting for an America as good as its promise.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

To George and Laura, Bill and Hillary — we're grateful for your friendship, counsel, and devotion to this country. And to Joe and Jill, thank you for being on this journey with us.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Michelle and I had fun surprising the first group of visitors to the Obama Presidential Center on Juneteenth. Come check it out!

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

I had one rule this week: no one plays on Home Court until some old friends and I get some shots up.

Who’s got next? 🏀

[Michelle Obama @MichelleObama]

It was such a joy getting to spend time with Joe and Jill, George and Laura, and Bill and Hillary last week. Barack and I will always be grateful for your constant friendship and support of our family over the years. 

(And George, thanks for the mints!)

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

I would read letters like Emily’s every night in the White House. They were powerful reminders of why the work we did mattered, and who we were fighting for.

When folks visit the Obama Presidential Center, my hope is that they see their stories reflected in the exhibits, and leave inspired to change their own neighborhoods.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

America is a constant work in progress. Every generation must take up the unfinished work of the last and carry it further—protecting what’s right, fixing what’s wrong, and making our union a little more perfect. 250 years later, that’s more important than ever.

[Democratic Wins Media @DemocraticWins]

BREAKING: In an incredible moment, President Barack Obama just slammed Donald Trump for being a weakling behind a computer unwilling to stand on business when they meet in person. This is amazing.

We didn’t get to this on air tonight, but it’s important.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

My sister Maya and I were profoundly shaped by the influence of our mom, Ann Dunham. Giving Maya a preview of the Obama Presidential Center, including a new sculpture by Maya Lin dedicated to our mom’s memory, was truly special.
