Michelle and I loved reading to this bright group of kids today! We hope this new Chicago Public Library branch at the Obama Presidential Center will be a place where folks come to read, check out books, and connect with one another for years to come.

We're glad you're happy with them! Thought we'd try something new...

Marilou & I are still on a high from The Presidential Center Opening! A non-stop party with inspirational speeches from Barack & Michelle, followed by a FANtastic 🎶 concert (check out the artists below)! By the time Stevie Wonder performed "Higher Ground" the crowd nearly passed out from sheer joy!🥰

Epstein survivor Dani Bensky: When you have somebody like Todd Blanche at the helm of the DOJ, it’s hugely problematic. He has the president’s best interests at heart. He does not have the American people’s best interests at heart. He’s so unfit to be the acting attorney general.

Ms. Rachel: As the American Academy of Pediatrics says, there is no safe amount of time for a child to be in detention. The Dilley immigration detention center must be shut down. We need to end the cruel policies of family detention and family separation.

Elon musk becoming a trillionaire demands higher taxes on the wealthy. All of his wealth is because the benefits he gets being based in the USA. Time he and others pay for that.

Buttigieg: Nowhere in the Constitution does it say that there have to be nine Supreme Court justices. That one doesn't even take a constitutional amendment. It just takes a readiness to set up a court that fits this country.

Trump is now calling for the SAVE America Act to be included in Budget Reconciliation 3.0. Why does that matter? Unlike most legislation in the Senate, reconciliation bills can pass with a simple majority vote rather than the usual 60 votes needed to overcome a filibuster.

Buttigieg: The folks in charge are offering a different account of what it means to be an American. To them, the answer is ancestry. You're an American based on how many of your ancestors are in a Civil War battlefield even if some of them were fighting against the US.

Talarico: Here's what real men don't do. They don't lie and cheat their way through life. They don't sell their soul to the highest bidder. Real men serve others, weak men serve themselves. So I welcome this debate. I don't think Paxton or Cruz are in a position to tell anyone what a real man is.

Walz: Let's be very clear, this president is a failure at business except when he got elected to office and can use corruption…

Unearthed footage shows Elias Irizarry joining a mob to breach the US Capitol. Now, he’s been rewarded with a top counterterrorism job at the Pentagon. You literally cannot make this up. Apparently, invading a government building is great resume building for national security now. 🙄

There’s been a lot of talk in this race about what makes a "real man." A man does what’s right when no one is watching. He upholds his commitments to his family and neighbors. He doesn’t lie, cheat, & steal his way through life. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.

AOC: This is what I want people to understand: this is our money. When you pay your taxes, that money is being stolen to pay for a vanity project like a ballroom or whatever it is that this guy wants to do, instead of what it should be used for…

Staggering levels of corruption. They’re using every possible lever of power to enrich themselves and their friends and families. And the “party of fiscal responsibility” simply doesn’t care.

Why isn't the media giving #ICELawlessness the coverage it deserves? A sitting member of the US Senate (Senator Kim) got attacked yesterday with chemical weapons by this rogue administration and crickets! It's up to us to make sure people hear about these things. Please share this thread widely.

“It’s just burning. I just wanted to try to keep people safe.” ICE fired pepper spray at Senator Andy Kim and protesters outside a detention facility in New Jersey. Not another penny should go to these out-of-control agencies — and when we regain power, we will hold all of these thugs accountable.

On Memorial Day, we pay tribute to the brave men and women in uniform who gave their lives for this country that we love. It is a debt we can never fully repay, but we must never stop trying.

I saw chaos inside and outside of the ICE detention center Delaney Hall today. Detainees protesting the lack of due process, the disgusting food and poor treatment while their families and advocates stood outside calling for help. 1/4

Evidence released today shows Greg Bovino PRAISED THE AGENT who shot U.S. citizen Mirimar Martinez five times: “In light of your excellent service in Chicago, you have much yet left to do!!” Bovino wrote Charles Exum after the shooting in October. America First now equals thugs praising thugs.

The DOJ was spying on lawmakers searches on the redacted Epstein files. This is in violation of the separation of powers and as @raskin.house.gov says, it’s Orwellian. The DOJ everyday violates laws and Pam Bondi must be impeached, disbarred, and sent to prison.

Empress Peace reposted

A Reuters photographer captured this image of a page from Pam Bondi's "burn book," which she used to counter any questions from Democratic lawmakers during an unhinged hearing today. It looks like the DOJ monitored members of Congress’s searches of the unredacted Epstein files. Just wow.

Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones. Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.
