Obama shouts out "those ordinary people in the Twin Cities who braved frigid temperatures, risked their own safety, standing shoulder to shoulder to look our for their neighbors and sometimes for strangers because they knew that was the right thing to do"
Today in Chicago, Barack and Michelle Obama reminded Americans how we can be our best as a country, just as they did during their eight years in the White House.
Not going to lie, the overload of class, dignity, intelligence, humility and grace today at the Obama Presidential Center made me really emotional and angry. It displayed how much US society has fallen.
To George and Laura, Bill and Hillary โ 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.
What are the odds of TWO master orators married to one another?
Listening to them speak was uplifting, inspirational and exhilarating. A reminder of another, better time when leaders spoke to our better angels & offered hope & optimism rather than divisive vulgarisms.

Michelle Obama: You were doing the people's work, rescuing our economy, expanding health care, ending a war, ordering the bin laden raid, saving an auto industry, winning a peace prize.
And don't forget! Sunny Hostin & Ana Navarro SKIPPED the White House Correspondence Dinner for good reason!
I'm going to DM queen @brijh.bsky.social before she tunes in to #TheView.
The Senate has completely ceded its constitutional power. Proud to stand with my Senate colleagues again to demand accountability for the war in Iran. We will continue speaking up and taking action.
Ossoff: "The president is sending out fundraising emails featuring photos of service members in flag-draped coffins. It's the most callous & disgraceful disregard for the sacrifice these service members made. It gives the impression the president & his team view those who wear the uniform as pawns"
De Niro: Iโve played plenty of tough, scary guys in the moviesโbut you know what really scares the hell out of me? What this governmentโour governmentโis trying to do to take away our right to voteโฆ
Why did she always bring upformer presidents when the conversation gets heated she knows ykw didn't go through congress about this war that shouldn't happened in the first place. America soldiers have died cause he thinks he can do whatever he wants. #theview
Ossoff: "The president owes Americans a real explanation. 2am posts on Truth Social just aren't good enough when you're sending Americans into combat. He was dancing at his beach club the same night he ordered air crews to launch into combat & hours before our service members endured missile salvos"
Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."
BREAKING: The Epstein survivors are releasing this ad on this Super Bowl Sunday to send the message that they will not โmove onโ from the largest sex trafficking scandal in the world. #standwithsurvivors
Black History Month is a time to recognize the lived, shared experience of all Black folks who have fundamentally shaped, challenged, and ultimately strengthened America. Itโs about taking an unvarnished look at the past so that we can create a better future.

I listened to this song from Cece Winans, and I feel it's appropriate for today cause of what's going on in this world. It's inspiring, and it uplifts me. I hope it helps anyone that listens. May GOD bless you ๐
Cruel and cowardly.
Republicans are canceling votes yet again instead of working with Democrats to re-open the government.
They'd rather stay on vacation than stand with families, release the Epstein Files, and address the healthcare crisis they created.
Jeffries: In that Oval Office meeting, which lasted over an hour, the amount of time spent talking about health insurance for undocumented immigrants was less than 10 seconds. You know why? Because they know itโs a lie. They didnโt even bother to bring it upโbecause the cameras werenโt rolling.
What we are witnessing is an outright abuse of power.
This administration is attacking critics and using fear as a weapon to silence anyone who would speak out. Media corporations โ from television networks to newspapers โ are capitulating to these threats.
Republicans scream โfree speechโโฆ until the truth hurts their fragile politics. Jimmy Kimmel gets suspended, but hate, lies, and conspiracy theories run free. Once again, they prove selective outrage is their brand.
The truth hurts: Kash Patel is the least qualified FBI Director in history. On his watch, white supremacists run free, qualified staff are pushed out, and he refuses to even name right-wing extremism as the top threat. I have ZERO confidence in him to keep Americans safe.
