Virginia: early voting for the redistricting amendment is happening now through April 18. Protect your voting power and help level the playing field ahead of the midterm elections by voting YES today or on Election Day, April 21.

The day the Affordable Care Act passed was one of my proudest moments as president, because it meant that millions of Americans would have access to health care, some for the first time.

@barackobama.bsky.social's bracket is set. What do you think of his picks? Good luck to all of the athletes competing and the young men from MBK Alliance getting a peek into careers in sports.

Former President v. Future MVP. Who wins? All of us. Want to learn more about Home Court at the Obama Presidential Center? Visit obama.org today.

Any guesses, fam?

Early voting in Virginia is now open. Make a plan to protect our democracy today: iwillvote.com.

Today, Michelle and I are proud to announce that we will be hosting the dedication ceremony for the Obama Presidential Center on June 18th in Chicago, and welcoming the public on June 19th. We can’t wait for you to visit. Go to obama.org to learn more.

Hope has a new home: On the South Side of Chicago, the Obama Presidential Center will be dedicated June 18, and the campus will open to the public June 19. It will be a place for all of us to come together to Bring Change Home. Sign up for tickets and updates at Obama.org.

Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say “Send me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact. How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.

Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. But right now, they’re under attack. Several Republican-controlled states have redrawn their congressional maps to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterm elections.

Congratulations to the U.S. Men’s and Women’s hockey teams, Alysa Liu, Breezy Johnson, Mikaela Shiffrin and all the amazing Olympic athletes representing Team USA.

THIS 👇 "You're not alone in being able to figure out how we push back and come up with new solutions."

Great sitting down with Brian Tyler Cohen to talk about everything from the courage we saw in Minnesota, to how Democrats can be true to our values and get stuff done, to how we’re building a community of changemakers at the Obama Foundation. youtube.com/watch?v=uI-hgSE5QIw

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules.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.

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

Here’s a useful reminder of what our federal courts SHOULD be doing to uphold our constitutional traditions:

If Congress doesn’t act, the last nuclear arms control treaty between the U.S. and Russia will expire. It would pointlessly wipe out decades of diplomacy, and could spark another arms race that makes the world less safe. This piece is worth the read.

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. It’s about taking an unvarnished look at the past so that we can create a better future.

In Minneapolis and many other communities across the country, we're seeing people come together to peacefully protest and support their neighbors. If you're looking to get involved, here are some ways to help:

More and more Americans are voicing their outrage at the tactics being deployed by federal agents in Minnesota. But it’s important to understand the broader implications of what this administration is doing, and the threat it poses to the basic freedoms of every American.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life fighting for equity and justice. He taught us that even in the face of intimidation and discrimination, we must never stop working towards a better future – a lesson that feels especially relevant today.

In this new era, taking action on redistricting is not optional—it is essential. We know the work ahead will require persistence—but we were built to meet this moment.

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

Visible from nearby streets to miles beyond, excerpts from President Obama’s remarks during the 50th anniversary of Bloody Sunday in Selma, Alabama, started going up at sunrise today on the exterior of the Museum at the Obama Presidential Center. They are a reminder: “You Are America.”

While in Chicago, I took a tour around the Obama Presidential Center. I can’t wait for you all to visit in June 2026. Here’s a sneak peek:

I’m always inspired by the young people I meet through our @obamafoundation.bsky.social Voyagers and Scholars programs. Together, they’re creating change and tackling some of the world’s most pressing challenges.

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

I couldn’t leave Chicago without getting a cut from my old barber, Zariff!

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.

During this season of giving, let’s do what we can to give back to the communities that have given us so much. From our family to yours, have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Violence has no place in America. Michelle and I are praying for the servicemembers shot in Washington, DC today, and send our love to their families as they enter this holiday season under the most tragic of circumstances.

As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that we’d never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family.

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

I heard some old friends at Pod Save America were in town, so I decided to stop by. As we saw this week, we can change this country for the better. But it’s going to take all of us getting organized and having honest conversations about the best way forward.

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.
