As President, I would read 10 letters a day sent to me by ordinary Americans. At the Obama Presidential Center, we’ll have some of the letters I read — and responded to — every night. I still get emotional reading them, and it’s one of my favorite exhibits.

Thought for today

The President has made hundreds of millions of dollars in stock trades this year in companies his own Administration regulates — then he uses his platform to influence the market. It's blatant corruption.

Doing the rounds in the UK 🤣🤣🤣

Mr. Bonespurs McDraftDodger says what?! 🫢 Thank you for your non-service. 🙏 #MemorialDay2026 🇺🇸

Again, please share. In every aspect of American history you will run smack dab into the critical contributions of Black people. It’s not Black history. It’s American history. Trying to erase it is a fool’s errand. We live it every day. time.com/5836444/blac...

Obama (2016): "’Everyone here is someone's hero’ – those who rest beneath this silence, not only here at Arlington, but at veterans' cemeteries across our country & around the world, & all who still remain missing, they didn't speak the loudest about their patriotism. They let their actions do that”

Imagine giving millions to a man who feeds starving victims of wars and disasters instead of to domestic terrorists who ransacked the Capitol and smeared their feces on its walls! Donald Trump *hates* Stephen Colbert but is the opposite of Colbert when it comes to kindness and intelligence.

Donald Trump’s $1.7 billion slush fund isn’t just reparations for insurrectionists, it’s a downpayment on the next insurrection.

Please take a look at this starter pack created by @moberzan.bsky.social and consider Maureen’s suggestions below! We’d love for more of you to join us.

The decisions made by state supreme courts touch every part of our lives. And that’s especially important when voting rights and basic freedoms are being challenged. Today voters in Georgia can stand up for fairness and integrity by electing Miracle Rankin and Jen Jordan to Georgia’s Supreme Court.

Talking at Chicago Humanities Festival at Northwestern. This morning 17th May. Come along www.chicagohumanities.org/events/atten...

I was in DC yesterday and these people were so annoying. Every 20-30 yards they were trying to hand out their version of the bible. I had just left a lecture and book launch so I would just flash them my new book and walk on! www.cnn.com/2026/05/17/p...

If you are in DC this Saturday (16th at 12.00), I'm talking at the NGA with Kaywin Feldman about Classics & why we still engage with the ancient world. It's free, but you need to register. www.nga.gov/calendar/boo...

You're entitled to your own opinion. You're NOT entitled to your own facts. #BelieveTheScience What he said 💯 👇 👇 👇

It's so hilariously unaware that the administration "for the working class" can't be bothered with the cost of groceries and gas because it is *obsessed* with gilded ballrooms, whomped up reflecting pools, gaudy arches, and fancy golf courses. What idiots!

We have yet to have a Gen X president. An entire generation of people who at the oldest side are at (or beyond) retirement age, and they have never had a president from their generation. I’m sorry boomers, but please give us a chance!

Oh no @thegoldfishmind.bsky.social Ogre passed! www.msn.com/en-us/movies...

I used to like coming on here. It's a downer some days, even with me not being on here as often as I used to be. I'm just so wornout #DonateLife
