Noticing a piece of the new “American flag blue” liner that was partially detached from the Reflecting Pool, David Hearn said he reached in to see what it felt like. Moments later, U.S. Park Police officers arrested him on a misdemeanor charge of destruction of government property. wapo.st/4xVNzcS

Elon Musk spent $290 million getting Trump elected. During this midterm cycle, he's spent $85 million. In total, that’s 0.0375% of his $1 trillion net worth. Oligarchs can rig the system at the expense of everyone else, and only spend pennies doing so. We must get Big Money out of politics.

Not only are you not alone if you believe things don't have to be this way. In fact you are part of a powerful American majority, one with the power to decide our future.

Juneteenth marks the celebration of America's second independence day. Like the people in this photo—Texans celebrating Juneteenth in 1900—we know that progress hasn't made our union perfect. But we can recommit to reaching toward that more perfect union together. Happy Juneteenth.

Hey Bernie 👋🏻.......

We used to have presidents who exhibited character, honesty, integrity, kindness, and empathy. Those are all things that I think all of us long for once again. We were reminded today by Barack Obama that we can have that.

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.

As my fellow Democrats in New York’s 17th congressional district head to the polls to choose our nominee from a talented group of candidates, a dark money Republican group is trying to manipulate the outcome of this and other key primaries. popular.info/p/progressiv...

It was great joining Njideka Akunyili Crosby—a gifted Nigerian-born, Los Angeles-based artist—to unveil our first portrait together. This piece reflects so many chapters of Michelle and my story, and we’re thrilled that it will be on display at the Obama Presidential Center starting this Juneteenth.

Remember, during today's literal cage match on the White House grounds: No matter what, it's not his house. It's our house. Get a hat, coaster, or sticker to support groups and candidates who will respect the form AND the function of the people's house. shop.onwardtogether.org/collections/...

Reminder: The UFC is holding this Vegas-style spectacle on the White House South Lawn to promote its own brand. The People’s House has been turned into a corporate sponsorship opportunity.

Day 13 Tirana Albania — the Flamingo Revolution protesters are on time for their daily walkout in the streets of the Albanian Capital.

I wouldn’t be where I am today without the love and support that Michelle has poured into me over the years. Her story — from her South Side roots to the White House and beyond — is a central part of the Obama Presidential Center.

The Knicks were on a 13-game winning streak until this thing slithered in. He shut the city down, got booed, fell asleep, & stunk up the place. Stay at one of your clubs or the White House. This obnoxious creature causes nothing but chaos and, as Rick Wilson says, ETTD. He probably jinxed them too.

Thomas Massie says the conspiracy theorists were right about Section 224 of the NDAA, which he says will merge the US military with the IDF. Massie says the provision is treasonous and warns that it will force the US to compromise its own security for Netanyahu's demands.

It was great meeting with the talented folks who’ll be working at the Obama Presidential Center. We're excited to welcome everybody here soon!

Democrats need to win back working-class voters by tackling high living costs childcare, housing, etc. Being too elite-focused hurt us before. Time to get practical and speak simply to everyday people.

Incredible! Scientists receive a rare standing ovation after announcing that a new treatment can double the survival time for pancreatic cancer, the deadliest cancer which was once considered “undruggable.” When we fund and support science, we can achieve anything! (Video: Dr. Wish Dhillon)

Today, I signed an Executive Order temporarily repealing bedtimes in the City of New York so that kids of all ages can watch our team in the NBA Finals. As Mayor, you’re forced to make many difficult decisions. This was not one of them. Go Knicks.

So Sad Chump,You're Going To Have To Pay Mamdani Your Taxes, Bitch,On Your Second Home.......👏🏻

Donald Trump would have us believe that he “needs” a billion dollar ballroom to be safe. And yet the next big event he’ll attend will be outdoors on the White House lawn. Maybe he’s lying about “needing” a ballroom . . .

Meta paid its lowest effective federal tax rate in company history last year. Earlier this month, Meta began laying off 10% of its workforce. More than 8,000 people will lose jobs as it ramps up AI investment. Zuckerberg is now worth $215 billion. Second Gilded Age.

Good to see Gov. Sherrill backing protesters - and detainees - at Delaney Hall, the privately operated ICE gulag in Newark. @filmmakerjulie.bsky.social and I were just there and witnessed ICE thugs trying to terrorize demonstrators. Sickening. Abolish ICE. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/25/n...
