Happy President’s Day to my two favorite presidents!

If we don’t want to repeat history – then for God’s sake in this moment we better be strong enough to learn from it.

Are you one of nearly 70 million American women who changed their names when they got married? 🙋‍♀️ Republicans in Congress want to make it harder for you to vote. Tell your senator to oppose the SAVE Act. indivisible.org/actions/stop...

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

Good, now end the chaos everywhere.

The long road to recovery starts now. The impact on our economy, our schools, and people’s lives won’t be reversed overnight. That work starts today. I’ll have more at 9:45.

Republicans are still trying to pass the SAVE Act—a bill that would make it harder to vote and disenfranchise millions of Americans. Join @redistrictingaction.org and tell your member of Congress to vote no: act.redistrictingaction.org/a/natl-saveact-cte

Millions of Ukrainians are sheltering at home in the cold and dark, under constant threat of missiles. Four years on from Russia’s unprovoked attack, join a @columbiasipa.bsky.social discussion at 12pm ET about the war's ongoing humanitarian and geopolitical stakes. youtube.com/live/fkiKYQz...

January 6 was the worst day of my life. But the threat of Donald Trump didn’t end when the mob left the Capitol. That’s why I’m running for Congress: to defend this country, with the full constitutional authority of Congress. I’m Harry Dunn. And I’m ready to finish the job.

Welcome back to Canada, President Zelenskyy. Today in Halifax, we committed critical new support to help Ukraine end Russia’s war of aggression, and to recover and rebuild. When peace comes — and it will come — Canada will be there for the Ukrainian people. Slava Ukraini. 🇨🇦🇺🇦

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

🥹💚 Loving this…

As I and so many others around the country light the candles on the first night of Hanukkah tonight, we will pray for the families of those wounded and killed, and we will work toward a world where light is stronger than darkness.

The Australian Jewish community has been ringing the alarm about the spike in antisemitic targeting, and now at least 11 people have paid the ultimate price of that targeted hate.

I am sickened by the attack in Sydney. On a night meant for celebration, Jewish families in Australia, gathering in joy on the first night of Hanukkah, were targeted because of their faith.

The targeted terrorist attack on Jewish Americans in Australia on the first day of Hanukkah is appalling and sickening. Thinking of the victims and their families.

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

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 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.

This is why I’m cautiously optimistic — in the long run.

There have been reports of volunteers in TN being harassed, and those incidents have been forwarded to local authorities. Everyone deserves to participate in our democracy without fear or intimidation. If you ever find yourself in a situation that feels unsafe, don’t hesitate to reach out for help.

It’s Election Day in TN 7th District. Already, 84,356 people have cast their ballots early. If you haven’t voted yet, please make a plan to do so today!

My daughter and I visited the house we lived in when she was a baby, and she was shocked a 29-year-old Navy guy could afford a nice house in a safe neighborhood. That wasn’t crazy in 1996 — but today, a nice house is out of reach for so many young people. That has to change.

Trump and his Administration are targeting me because I said something they didn’t like — but here’s the thing: I won’t be intimidated into silence. I’ve overcome challenges a lot tougher than Donald Trump or Pete Hegseth.

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired. If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

BREAKING: Congressman Eric Swalwell just announced he is running for governor of California

It’s good to explain that the CDC is lying and vaccines still unequivocally do not cause autism, even if it just reaches one person on here who has doubts. But the fight is out there, not in here; and the time to let go of the information deficit model of science communication was decades ago

Epstein survivor Haley Robson: "To the President of the United States of America, I want to send a clear message to you…I can't help to be skeptical of what [your] agenda is…I am traumatized. I am not stupid. You have put us through so much stress…It's not right."

MTG is not a friend or ally. She’s an extremist…a racist antisemite. She harrassed children impacted by gun violence. She’s dangerous.

We could spend years demanding a list be released, or we could just believe women…

This is just theater for MAGA. If Trump REALLY wanted the Epstein Files released, he doesn't need Congress. He could just call Pam Bondi and order her to release them. He hasn't. And won't. He and Pam have cooked up a new "ongoing investigation" that she can use as an excuse not to release evidence.

In Times Square. “Of course he knew about the girls.” - Jeffrey Epstein

Funny, how MAGA is *outraged* over someone who is simply a Muslim in the New York City mayor's mansion, but has no comment about a Muslim who is an actual murderer in the White House.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Of course they did.

My friend @drannieandrews.com will be Lindsey Graham's opponent. She is a pediatric surgeon who has performed spinal surgeries on children, running against a grownup with no spine. Dr. Andrews is poised to perform a full Lindsey-ectomy on the United States Senate.

Thank you for your service and your sacrifice. 🫶

Ahead of Veterans Day, I was honored to welcome a flight of veterans and their families as they arrived in DC.

Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?

Many feel betrayal and frustration, and the feelings are hot right now. I get it. I have my own feelings. 🧵

Hey Chuck, don’t fucking cave.

More people voted in New York City’s election this year than they have in 50 years. That’s a win for democracy, and a testament to @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's inspiring campaign. Congratulations to the next mayor of the greatest city in the world. 🗽

Democratic women have made history tonight: Abigail Spanberger will be the first female governor of Virginia. Mikie Sherrill will be the first female Democratic governor of New Jersey. I’m looking forward to seeing these strong, dedicated leaders deliver a bright future for their states. 🎉

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.
