Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

For almost four decades, Nancy Pelosi has served the American people and worked to make our country better. No one was more skilled at bringing people together and getting legislation passed – and I will always be grateful for her support of the Affordable Care Act.

Viola Fletcher, Oldest Survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Dies at 111

As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that we’d never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family.

I had fun reading to some Burke Elementary students at the Chicago Public Library today. When the Obama Presidential Center opens next year, we’ll have a new branch of the library for the community to enjoy.

Chicago is where Michelle was raised, where I got my start as an organizer, and where we built a family together. When the Obama Presidential Center opens next June, it will be our way to give back to a city that has given us so much. obama.org/presidential-center

I’m so proud of the talented Leo High School Choir and all they are doing to represent the South Side of Chicago!

While in Chicago, I took a tour around the Obama Presidential Center. I can’t wait for you all to visit in June 2026. Here’s a sneak peek:

Merry Christmas! Michelle and I hope you have a wonderful holiday filled with light and joy.

This black man, who was racially profiled by ICE in a gas station in Minneapolis today, would not have walked away if it weren’t for brave Americans who stood up for him and for those whose deaths have brought ICE’s savagery to the epicenter of national attention.

Keep calling them out, America!

2025 is now, officially, the worst year for job creation outside of recession since 2003.

I think it is probably a bad idea to put clearly unhinged, angry psychopaths in federal law enforcement positions.

How was it a hate speech song ?? Tf?

"No DEI"
"Only merit-based"
Okay, trans people didn't earn the title of bathroom pedo, white men do that. Brown and black people didn't earn the role of school shooter, white men dominate that field. You want everything merit-based, okay! Stay consistent and ban white men from bathrooms and schools.

What they have left in stocks anyway

A post by Ontario Premier Doug Ford which says: Starting today and until U.S. tariffs are removed, Ontario is banning American companies from provincial contracts. Every year, the Ontario government and its agencies spend $30 billion on procurement, alongside our $200 billion plan to build Ontario. U.S.-based businesses will now lose out on tens of billions of dollars in new revenues. They only have President Trump to blame. We’re going one step further. We’ll be ripping up the province’s contract with Starlink. Ontario won’t do business with people hellbent on destroying our economy. Canada didn't start this fight with the U.S., but you better believe we're ready to win it.

NEW: Ontario just banned US companies from billions in government contracts.

The province is also ripping up its contract with Elon Musk’s Starlink.

Welcome to the weird world of rooting for Doug Ford.

Canada have cancelled their contracts with Elon Musk's Starlink.

Well done Canada.

Ontario's Premier says the province will be "banning American companies from provincial contracts" in the wake of the Trump tariffs — including with Elon Musk.

"We'll be ripping up the province's contract with Starlink."

"Ontario won't do business with people hellbent on destroying our economy."

Tesla is looking rough, musk is ruining his brand one by one what a 💩

Trump announces tariffs on Mexico, China, and Canada.

Stock market immediately craters.

Why doesn’t he understand that tariffs are passed on to the buyer - US!

You might want to put gas in your car today.

Canada is America's biggest source of imported oil -- supplying almost 60%.

When Canada slaps a retaliatory tariff on their oil, gas prices are going UP UP UP.

All because of Donald Trump.

People that voted for trump…..get fucked

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

BREAKING: Philadelphia workers have won the first Whole Foods union under Amazon with UFCW.

Since Amazon bought the chain, workers have lost benefits and felt the squeeze.

Now they're fighting back against the multi-trillion dollar giant and hoping this win will be the first of many.

you don't want to get mixed up with a guy like me. I'm a loner, Dottie, a rebel.
