Hard to believe it's only been a month. Happy Presidents' Day

Although we don’t yet have the details about the motives behind last night's shooting at the White House Correspondents Dinner, it’s incumbent upon all us to reject the idea that violence has any place in our democracy. It’s also a sobering reminder of the courage and sacrifice that U.S. Secret Service Agents show every day. I’m grateful to them – and thankful that the agent who was shot is going to be okay.

Oh dang! Those fellas are so dang lucky!

I’ve spent a lot of my career thinking about systems, policy, and long-term impact. #contech #constructiontech

Thunder are now 21-1 🤦‍♂️ The Clippers really ruined the NBA

Raila Odinga was a true champion of democracy. A child of independence, he endured decades of struggle and sacrifice for the broader cause of freedom and self-governance in Kenya. Time and again, I personally saw him put the interests of his country ahead of his own ambitions. Like few other leaders anywhere, he was willing to choose the path of peaceful reconciliation without compromising his core values. Through his life, Raila Odinga set an example not just for Kenyans, but across Africa and around the world. I know he will be missed. Michelle and I send our deepest condolences to his family and to the people of Kenya.

As governor, @MikieSherrill will deliver for every community in New Jersey. She has the experience and plans to drive down costs—and the integrity, grit, and commitment to service to be the kind of leader we need right now. Make a plan to vote today at mikiesherrill.com.

Virginia, the stakes couldn’t be higher in this election. And Abigail @SpanbergerForVA is the best choice for Governor. She'll work to stand up for Virginia families – because that’s what she’s done her entire career. And she has real plans to lower the cost of housing, health care, utilities, and grow Virginia’s economy. So make a plan to vote today at abigailspanberger.com.

There's always been a fight over the true story of America. I believe deeply in the story that says we’re all created equal, and that if we can treat each other with decency and respect, all of us will be better off.

D’Angelo was one of a kind. As a pioneer in neo-soul, he inspired a generation of singers, and helped shape music today. Michelle and I are thinking of his family, and all those who loved and admired him. nytimes.com/2025/10/14/art…

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you. Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide. So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

I’m so proud of the work the @ObamaFoundation’s Girls Opportunity Alliance is doing to ensure that girls around the world can get an education. Learn more about the grassroots organizations we’re supporting on this International Day of the Girl.

I recently sat down with three leaders who are part of the @ObamaFoundation's alumni network to hear more about their work to strengthen democracy in Hungary and Poland. They’re an example for us all. Take a look: obama.org/stories/presid…

Congratulations to the WNBA champs — @LVAces and MVP A'ja Wilson — on their third title!

Congratulations to new Nobel Peace Prize laureate María Corina Machado for her courageous struggle to bring democracy to Venezuela. It should inspire those engaged in similar struggles around the world - and remind those of us lucky enough to live in America that we have a solemn responsibility to constantly preserve and defend our own hard-won democratic traditions.

March Madness won’t be the same without Sister Jean. Thinking about the Loyola University Chicago community and everyone who loved this remarkable woman. nytimes.com/2025/10/10/spo…
