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:

Crockett: As he stood up today in front of the American people, he sounded like a used car salesman. Like, let me just shout it out. Buy what I'm selling. Yes. This is a lemon. Yes. He is selling nothing but lemons

Crockett: The speaker, he loves to run when things get tough. That's not leadership. That's cowardice. And so that is what he's decided to do—we are supposed to be in till Friday. He has decided that our last day is going to be tomorrow…

Trump always finds new ways to prove that he’s low-life scum.

McDonald’s USA — Employee: $15/hr, no benefits — Big Mac: $5.79 McDonald’s Denmark — Employee: $22/hr, 6 weeks vacation, 1 year paid maternity leave, life insurance, pension — Big Mac: $5.49 Tell us more about how raising the minimum wage would affect the cost of hamburgers.

Trump’s immigration agenda is rooted in racism. Ending Temporary Protected Status for predominantly Black and Brown nations tells you exactly who this administration is targeting. Racism is not immigration policy, and we deserve better.

Important.

All 214 Democrats and four Republicans have come together to sign a discharge petition to force a vote to extend the ACA subsidies. This would keep 22 million Americans’ health care premiums from skyrocketing next year. Speaker Johnson, bring the bill to the floor now.

LMAO McGovern is on fire right now 🔥🔥🔥

⚠️ BREAKING: WHO Warns as New Influenza A(H3N2) Subclade K Spreads Globally The World Health Organization has warned of the spread of new influenza A(H3N2) subclade K across the European Union, East Asia, and parts of North America.

As congressional hearings go on in public today and can be watched live online by everyone, Jack Smith is testifying behind closed doors despite his written request to appear in public because Republicans don’t want the American people (again) to hear him destroy their lies.

WHOA! Jack Smith's, opening statement to the House Judiciary Committee: "Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election & to prevent the lawful transfer of power."

LUHAN: Is the FCC an independent agency? CARR: I think th--- L: Yes or no C: There's a test for this in the la--- L: It's yes or no, Brendan! On your website, it simply says, man, 'the FCC is independent.' This isn't a trick question C: The FCC is not L: So is your website lying? C: Possibly

Phang: Wiles says she doesn’t think Trump is on a retribution tour, but that he’s going after people who did bad things in coming after him… That sounds like retribution to me. I’m not quite sure what her definition of retribution is, but she might want to look it up in the fucking dictionary.

This is illegal! The Trump administration is instructing managers across the federal government (regardless of employee performance) to ensure that at least 80 percent of staff receive a 3 out of 5 rating, making them easier to terminate and easier to justify in court.

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families. The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

[email protected] : Were you satisfied with the answers you’ve gotten so far in this classified briefing on Venezuela? AOC: Oh, hell no. It was a joke. This was not a serious intelligence briefing. This was the communication of an opinion.

Attorney for Letitia James reacts to VANITY FAIR quotes from Susie Wiles: "The White House Chief of Staff admitting that Pres Trump turned the Justice Dept into his weapon for political retribution against Atty Gen. Letitia James only confirms that this has been an improper vindictive prosecution"

President Biden attended a fundraiser for his presidential library in Washington, D.C, yesterday.

LOLOLOLOL hahahahahahaha

We are failing our kids

🚨BREAKING: The Trump administration escalated its effort to punish a sitting U.S. senator for protected political speech Monday, formally converting the Pentagon’s review of Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) into an official Command Investigation under military law. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Extraordinary courage from Ahmed al Ahmed, a Muslim, 43-year-old father of two, who bravely risked his life to save his neighbors celebrating Hanukkah. Praying for his full & speedy recovery. And so deeply inspired by his example.

Fox is blaming RFK Jr. for the measles outbreak. They promoted him, supported his nomination, and now they are turning on him. 🙄

Exclusive: Trump’s Department of Veterans Affairs will abruptly eliminate as many as 35,000 health care positions this month. The cuts come after a massive reorganization effort already resulted in the loss of almost 30,000 employees.

If Republicans don't extend ACA subsidies, people are going to die. Now, they’re trying to tie Americans' health care to abortion restrictions that kill women. It’s absolutely a non-starter. We won’t allow Republicans to use the lives of women as the political cost of extension.

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

Trump 0-3 on indicting Tish James and just had his ass handed to him by Indiana Republican legislators he threatened and bullied. Also new low in AP poll at 36% approval.

"Every economic metric is so SUPER good that we are keeping the jobs, GDP, and inflation numbers from you! You're welcome!" #ProfessionalLiars

MINNEAPOLIS: “All I did was step outside as a Somali American citizen, and I got chased by a masked person, assaulted, kidnapped. It was inhumane. If this is what’s happening to a 🇺🇸 citizen on camera, imagine what could happen to your loved ones.”

THE NEW AXIS OF EVIL 🇷🇺 🇨🇳 🇰🇵 🇸🇦 🇦🇪 🇺🇲 Now that America has endorsed the Russian invasion of Europe, declared tariff wars against all democratic nations, begun committing war crimes daily, and taken to the high seas in acts of contemptible piracy, we deserve this new status.

Immigrants ‘plucked out of line’ at citizenship ceremony at Faneuil Hall “the cradle of liberty”. If you ever claimed you want immigrants to do it the right way, this should outrage you. On the other hand, If you think this was okay, you need to come to terms with your white nationalist views.

Powell: "Inflation for goods has picked up, reflecting the effects of tariffs."

Veteran detained by ICE: I identified myself as a US citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas into my car, dragged me out. Even after I complied, I was held for 3 days without charges. No phone call, no lawyer, no medical care

The Trump administration has killed nearly 90 civilians at sea and is refusing to release its legal justification for these illegal and immoral strikes. We are demanding answers — transparency can’t wait while more people are murdered by our government.

Federal agents are arresting American citizens. This isn’t about public safety - it’s about stoking fear. www.mprnews.org/story/2025/1...

Uneducated MAGA voters have no clue about healthcare in the United States! ACA vs. Obamacare?

The first paragraph of Judge Breyer‘s opinion granting an injunction in the California National Guard case is a banger.

Months before the start of the World Cup, the MAGA regime are planning to require all foreign tourists to submit five years of their social media data upon entering the United States. This is what fascism looks like and FIFA gave it a fake bullshit peace award. Disgusting.

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.

I need you to listen to and share this story - of how Trump is preparing to abandon Ukraine in exchange for Russian money for his billionaire friends. It could be the greatest corruption of American foreign policy in our history. Russia gets Ukraine. Trump's friends get rich.

Sonia Sotomayor torched a lawyer Tuesday for suggesting that Elon Musk didn’t buy his way into the White House, and warned that if SCOTUS removed the limits on coordinated expenditures, there would be “no control” over how much one donor could give—opening the door for blatant corruption.

BREAKING: We’re suing the Trump administration to demand they release the secret memo they claim justifies their illegal strikes on civilians at sea. Transparency must come immediately — while there’s still an opportunity to stop this cruel and unconstitutional bombing campaign.

Hilarious. Anyone with common sense knows a Trump pardon means nothing outside the U.S. Oops. 🚨 NEW: Honduran Authorities Issue Arrest Warrant for Ex-President Pardoned by Trump

I’d be so pissed if I got the blue Kennedy Center Honors and people just thought I ran a 5K or something.
