U.S. Park Police killed someone today in a high-speed chase near Woodley Park. DC leaders prohibited these chases — but last year, Congress overturned DC’s law as part of this regime’s psychotic desire to hunt people. DC leaders know what DC communities need. When Congress interferes, people die.

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

Was the world always this completely fucked up, and somehow I just didn’t notice? 🤔 I’d like my life back, please.

The completely & utterly demented, mentally ill President of the United States just posted this truly brainless imbecilic nonsense. Elected GOP are shameful to not remove this dangerously deranged fool from office immediately. There is something truly wrong with him. “Idiocracy” was non-fiction.

Cops in America are murderous and profoundly unbelievably stupid, the worst combination possible apple.news/AePCMUhd5T7e...

State houses are where the most important battles are being fought, Daniel Squadron writes, and where our energy must be deployed. “Flipping a handful of state seats … will allow a majority to deliver serious, tangible policies like paid family leave, cleaner drinking water and expanded Medicaid.”

Vance: "The Straits are now open. The Iranian military is now destroyed." Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz again this morning.

Donald Trump is breaking all of his promises, and he thinks you're too stupid to notice.

CUED Obama speaks to the future, AI, social media, and Democracy. The insidious nature of the right's zero sum nonsense. "People are looking for fairness & common sense." NOT what the right pushes thru their right wing influencers. How a real president sounds. Intelligent & hopeful.

Obama: I am not immune to anger or doubt. But I do know this when we lose faith in each other, when we stop believing that voting matters… we open the door to the most ruthless or the most careless, or the most fearful among us who see some groups and some people as more equal than others

The audacity of HOPE 💙🇺🇸

this is honestly an excellent celebratory and motivational speech from Mamdani at the Knicks parade. i'm ready to run through a wall, and i'm not even a Knicks fan

Oh joy. Appreciate the warning. Just sent a nice contribution to his opponent, Democrat Rebecca Bennett, NJ-District 7. Willing to do all I can to rid NJ of this Trump bootlicker who’s been inexplicably M.I.A. from his congressional duties for which he pockets $174,000 in taxpayer dollars.

Ossoff on Mike Collins: "He's pro-war. He's pro-tariffs. He's pro-cutting your healthcare. He's also a notorious bigot and antisemite, and an election-denying extremist who is only a congressman because his daddy was a congressman, and is a Trump puppet who will serve his needs & agenda mindlessly"

Excellent thread‼️‼️‼️ ⬇️

For 109 days, you have paid the price at the pump for Trump's reckless war in Iran.   Today, I co-led a roundtable to highlight the strain that rising gas prices have put on working families, small businesses, and farmers in NJ and around the country.

I think it's important for people to read the kind of comments a judge has to make to extremely vulnerable people in order to get sanctioned.

It will never cease to amaze me that you can beat yourself up for weeks trying to write something, grinding out crap, and then suddenly, one day, it's just... there. Like you're typing as fast as you can just to keep up with the words flowing. (I will also likely never trust that this will happen.)

After an early-season heat wave this past week in New Jersey, with temps in the mid-90s and dew points in the mid-70s 😩 … I’m incredibly grateful for cooler, drier conditions now. It takes so little to make me happy. ☺️

This was NOT going to just be used for deportation cases- it would've 100% been used to arrest Trump's critics, Democratic officials, judges and anyone who stood in his way. Again we are at war that Trump has declared upon us. We MUST win this war to save our freedoms!

Robert De Niro: I'm pretty close to being a free speech absolutist. Even speech I don't like. But when I hear something I don't like, I use my own free speech to respond. When I hear Trump say, "I don't think about Americans' financial situation." I say, "shut the fuck up."

Capping off Barack Obama Appreciation Day with this touching event. 🌟

I love him. ♥️
