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.

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.

If nothing else, the last nine months should have made it clear that elections matter. But what’s remarkable about America is that we have the power, as citizens, to change this country by voting. Go to IWillVote.com.

At a time when our politics feels broken, we need leaders like @mikiesherrill.bsky.social for Governor. Mikie will work to create jobs, lower costs, and do what’s right for the people of New Jersey.

Hello, New Jersey! There’s a lot at stake in this election, and I’m here tonight to talk about why @mikiesherrill.bsky.social should be your next Governor. Watch live:

It was great being back in Norfolk to help get out the vote for @abigailspanberger.com for Governor. Virginia – Abigail Spanberger cares about your freedoms, she will fight for your rights, and she will work every day to make your life a little bit better.

Virginia! I’m here today for a very important reason: to ask you to vote for your next Governor, @abigailspanberger.com. Tune in:

More than 47 million Americans — including one in five children — don’t have reliable, affordable access to nutritious food. And as the cost of living skyrockets, more families are depending on SNAP benefits, or food stamps, to put food on the table.

California – this Election Day, vote yes on Prop 50. California’s Prop 50 says that if Republicans are going to abuse the system to try and hang onto power, we’re going to counteract that abuse and create a level playing field in the midterm elections. Make a plan to vote yes on Prop 50.

Pennsylvania has an important Supreme Court race coming up on Tuesday, November 4. If you live in the Keystone State, or know someone who does, vote YES to retain three justices who will protect your fundamental rights and freedoms.

New Jersey! Excited to join @mikiesherrill.bsky.social for a rally on 11/1. Make a plan to vote early or on Election Day. mikiesherrill.com/vote

Virginia! Fired up to join @abigailspanberger.com for a rally on 11/1. Early voting has begun, so get out there and vote today or make a plan to vote on Election Day. abigailspanberger.com/vote/

We have just over two weeks to pass Prop 50. And when we do, it will send a message of hope across the country, that change is possible if we do the work. So, let’s get to it. linktr.ee/cadem

Voters should pick their representatives, not the other way around. Glad to get the chance to talk to some of the volunteers and organizers doing the hard work to make sure Prop 50 passes. This vote will have critical implications, not just for California, but for our entire country.

When the Obama Presidential Center opens next year, it will be a hub for change — a place for people from all over the world to come together, get inspired, and take what they learn back to their own communities. obama.org/presidential-center

As governor, I know @mikiesherrill.bsky.social will deliver for New Jersey. She has the experience and plans to drive down costs – and the integrity, grit, and commitment to service to be the kind of leader we need right now. Make a plan to vote today at mikiesherrill.com.

@abigailspanberger.com will work to stand up for Virginia families – because that’s what she’s done her entire career. As governor, she has plans to lower the cost of housing, health care, and utilities, and grow Virginia’s economy. So make a plan to vote today at abigailspanberger.com.

There's always been a fight over the true story of America. I believe deeply in the story that says we’re all created equal, and that if we can treat each other with decency and respect, all of us will be better off. I talk about this and more on the final episode of WTF with Marc Maron. Watch now:

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you. Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide. So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

More than a decade ago, I sat down with @marcmaron.bsky.social in his garage to tape something new called a podcast. This time, he came to me to record his last episode. We talked about the power of conviction, decency in an age of division, and the true story of America.

I recently sat down with three leaders who are part of the @obamafoundation.bsky.social's alumni network to hear more about their work to strengthen democracy in Hungary and Poland. They’re an example for us all. Take a look:

Congratulations to new Nobel Peace Prize laureate María Corina Machado for her courageous struggle to bring democracy to Venezuela.

My statement on Middle East peace

NEW: Reporting from @politico.com reveals that the White House is ramping up its pressure campaign to gerrymander red states, going as far as promising “consequences” to Republican lawmakers who don’t fall in line. This is dangerous new territory for our nation. politi.co/4nDMcKk

The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Except it doesn’t bend on its own—it bends because we pull it in the direction of justice. What keeps me hopeful during times like these is being surrounded by people who are doing just that.

Republicans would rather shut down the government than help millions of Americans afford health care. This article tells some of their stories, and is a good reminder of what’s at stake.

Republicans can’t win on their policies, so they are trying to dodge accountability by rewriting the rules. These lawmakers are going out of their way to silence the will of the people and deliberately undermine our democracy.

We have people in power making broad claims around certain drugs and autism that have been continuously disproven.

Michelle, Brian Chesky, and I launched the Voyager Scholarship at the @obamafoundation.bsky.social to provide the next generation of leaders with the tools they need to succeed and make an impact on their communities. Today we're thrilled to welcome the newest class of Obama-Chesky Voyagers.

Susan, I hope I look as good as you at 102!

In a moment like this, when tensions are high, part of the job of the president is to remind us of the ties that bind us together.

We need more ideas like the ones @captmarkkelly.bsky.social has outlined on how we can shape the future being created by artificial intelligence. Kelly.Senate.gov/AI

This commentary offers a clear, powerful statement of why freedom of speech is at the heart of democracy and must be defended, whether the speaker is Charlie Kirk or Jimmy Kimmel, MAGA supporters or MAGA opponents.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Our democracy is not self-executing. It depends on us all as citizens, regardless of our political affiliations, to stand up and fight for the core values that have made this country the envy of the world.

Here’s a story that’s becoming all too common: federal immigration agents using racial and ethnic profiling as a rationale for stopping, questioning and detaining U.S. citizens who they suspect are undocumented.

We don’t yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy. Michelle and I will be praying for Charlie’s family tonight, especially his wife Erika and their two young children.

We’re thrilled to welcome our newest #ObamaLeaders! 🌍 Four new cohorts — Africa, Asia-Pacific, Europe, and the U.S. — just joined our six-month leadership program. 👏 Meet the 2025-2026 cohorts and follow their journeys at obama.org/programs/lea...

🚨Redistricting is back in Missouri — and politicians are gearing up for a power grab. Join us today at 8 PM CT for Shaping Missouri: A Redistricting Training where we’ll cover: ✅ What’s happening right now ✅ What’s at stake ✅ How YOU can take action www.mobilize.us/allontheline...

Here's some good news: Catelin Drey won a special election this week to flip a seat blue in the Iowa Senate and break Republicans' supermajority.

Republicans are trying to redraw congressional district lines to keep their grip on Congress in the midterms and beyond.  Voters should pick their politicians, not the other way around. Get involved with the @democraticredistricting.com as they fight back: bit.ly/3HJ1ayW

This interview, which is also available to listen to as a podcast, provides a useful overview of some of the dangerous trends we’ve been seeing in recent months regarding federalization and militarization of state and local police functions.

We can't allow ourselves to become numb to mass shootings. What happened today in Minneapolis is heartbreaking, and Michelle and I are praying for the parents who have lost a child or will be sitting at their hospital bedside after yet another act of unspeakable, unnecessary violence.

We’re grateful to President Obama (@barackobama.bsky.social) for being in this fight with us and supporting our mission. California is advancing a process that gives voters the final say on implementing new maps. This is a fair and responsible response to Trump’s unprecedented power grab.

Since we passed the Affordable Care Act, Republicans have tried over and over to repeal it. And over and over, they’ve failed — in part because millions of people now depend on the ACA for quality, affordable health care.

We can’t lose focus on what matters – right now, Republicans in Texas are trying to gerrymander district lines to unfairly win five seats in next year’s midterm elections. This is a power grab that undermines our democracy.

I recently spoke with our inaugural MBK Alliance Ambassadors – a group of talented, inspiring young leaders from across the country who are working to give back to their communities. I’m looking forward to following their progress and having them back as alumni to share what they’ve learned.

The flash flooding in Central Texas is absolutely heartbreaking. Michelle and I are praying for everyone who has lost a loved one or is waiting for news — especially the parents. And we’re grateful to the first responders and rescue teams working around the clock to help.

More than 16 million Americans are at risk of losing their health care because Republicans in Congress are rushing to pass a bill that would cut federal funding for Medicaid and weaken the Affordable Care Act.
