Social Security is earned, not given. We paid into it our entire working lives. Speaker Johnson knows how unpopular cuts would be. That’s why these conversations happen behind closed doors instead of out in the open. We earned these benefits. We’ll fight to keep them. #HandsOffSocialSecurity

You guys hear that? That's how a real president speaks.

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"

Strong pillar effect on the northern lights in this image. It was taken on the same night as my previous post, just a little earlier. I alsio like the purple hues. These are a little more rare colours than I usually see. #northernlights #canada

My God. The opening ceremony of the Obama Center is a beautiful display of American hope, diversity, and integrity. What a contrast to the pathetically stupid display at the White House last weekend.

Possible Supernova Remnant in Galactic Center apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap26061... Do you see that blue blob to the lower right of the image center? Astronomers think that it shows where a massive star exploded as a supernova whose light reached Earth 1,700 years ago.

To George and Laura, Bill and Hillary — 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.

If you watch the Obama Library, the World Cup, and the Knicks parade this afternoon -- and nothing else -- you can actually see the America we're supposed to be at age 250

Mayor Mamdani at the Knicks Ceremony: “We as the city are often forced to come together in the moments in tragedy, what a blessing it is to come together in a moment of joy.” Made me cry, because it’s true.

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.

🤗 Repost from @musicscope • On June 17, 1971, “Tapestry” by Carole King reached number #1 on the US Billboard 200. Its deeply personal songwriting and timeless appeal helped it remain on the charts for years and earned it a lasting place in music history.

When we win, the first bill I’m filing is a comprehensive anti-corruption package: Overturn Citizens United Ban corporate PACs and super PACs Ban members of Congress from trading stocks Once we defeat the most corrupt politician in America, we can defeat this entire corrupt system.

I love this painting and I have no idea who the artist is.

In this photo there is a Princeton University graduate and a Harvard Law School graduate. Michelle Obama is both.

Wildflowers are not just pretty; they are tiny superheroes that protect crops and insects. Farmers who embrace nature's solutions demonstrate that beauty and productivity can coexist.

Maybe instead of renaming the “Department of Defense” the “Department of War” Pete should have more accurately called it the “Department of Expensive Humiliation”

Ossoff: The president has been humiliated on the world stage. Many Americans are increasingly concerned about his stability and his capacity for the office. It’s deeply distressing to Americans to see a president so incompetent attempting and failing to represent the nation.

#Trump lies to Americans that he has some binding deal with Iran to end his war. Katie Phang breaks down what is known about the terms that include no enforcement mechanisms and only serve to put the Islamic Republic of Iran in a better position than it was before Trump launched this illegal war.

It's crazy how we have both the World Cup and America 250 this year, and almost no one cares about them because this regime has wholly sucked the joy out of even momentous national events.

I can’t help but agree….. #BookSky

Good heavens... I've seen less eye makeup on RuPaul's Drag Race.

I understand Freedom of Speech. But any federal official, especially the president, who claims without proof that elections, the bedrock of democracy, are rigged should be impeached.
