“If y’all could give us less than zero seats you would do it…The MAGA party is the last breath of the Confederacy." Nailed it.

The rush to silence Black voters ahead of the 2026 election is stone cold racism. It's Jim Crow 2.0.

Vice President @KamalaHarris joined @EmergeAmerica national call on redistricting this evening.

#BREAKING: Legendary #Maddow: “I should tell you, in Tennessee, a big slice of Black residents in Memphis will now have their votes folded into a White county called Williamson County. Williamson County literally STILL HAS a confederate flag on their county seal, but they’ll have just the right size of a slice of Black voters from Memphis to make sure they can never, with their other Memphis residents, elect a member of Congress of their choosing. There’s a reason why people are calling this Jim Crow 2.0. This REALLY IS plainly an effort to drag us back to the the post reconstruction era after the civil war…”😳

We’re so lucky to have a President who is always looking out for the American people.

🚨WTF. This is a MAJOR blunder. While answering questions from reporters, Trump says “he doesn’t think about Americans’ financial situations.” This clip is single handedly the greatest gift that could possibly be handed to Midterm Democrats.

I first met Clark Reynolds when he was just three years old at our Black History Month reception at the White House. Over the last ten years, it's been wonderful getting updates about his life through his letters. Check out how he’s doing now:

This Mother’s Day, I’m thinking about my mom, and all the lessons she taught me. I'm proud to honor her memory with the Ann Dunham Water Terrace at the Obama Presidential Center.

Donald Trump and MAGA states are rigging our elections and silencing voters. This November, we WILL stop them. Everything is on the line.

Virginia is "a wakeup call to Democrats across the country - in NJ, NY, MD, IL, OR, WA, CO - this is the time to start fighting back... Republicans don't believe that Democrats have the right to exist as a party. If we don't start fighting back as a party, we're going to good government ourselves into obscurity." h/t @Elex_Michaelson @CNNTheStoryIs

Wishing all the moms out there a wonderful Mother’s Day! To @MichelleObama, I’m grateful for all the ways you’ve shown up for our daughters and our family over the years. We love you.

🚨HOLY SHIT: I was just listening to Marjorie Taylor Greene and she confirmed Donald Trump pushed the government shutdown HIMSELF so they couldn’t vote to release the Epstein files. This should be a major scandal.

Let’s pour one out today for former REPUB Kentucky AG and Senate candidate DANIEL CAMERON for losing the “Trump endorsement.” If you remember, he became famous for refusing to investigate the murder of Breonna Taylor and other common-sense things. Anyways, he did a lot of tail-smooching for DJT and used his low IQ to defend him everywhere. Well, that wasn’t enough, and Daniel has now been sent to the wolves, relegated to begging with a can outside Mar-a-Lago. They never learn. So long, Daniel!

Obama just said what every Democrat needs to hear: “Can you talk in plain English? Not a bunch of gobbledygook. Just talk like normal people talk. ‘The rent is too high.’” Mamdani fixed 100,000 potholes and taxed empty billionaire penthouses. He didn’t need a focus group to explain why. Never stop connecting the dots.

Former U.S. Marine Chedrick Greene just won a landslide victory in a purple district in Michigan. This win secures Democrats’ control of the Michigan state Senate.

It was great talking to Stephen and the inspiring young people we’ve worked with at the @ObamaFoundation on the @ColbertLateShow. When the Obama Presidential Center opens this June 19, my hope is that this will be a place where people can come together to meet, learn, and work with each other to create change in their communities.

Obama: “The president shouldn’t have a bunch of side hustles that companies and foreign entities can invest in.” Trump has raked in at least $4 billion since taking office, which is why he’s widely recognized as the most corrupt president in American history.

President Obama: “The White House shouldn’t be able to direct the Attorney General to go around prosecuting whoever the president wants prosecuted. The AG is the people’s lawyer, it’s not the president’s consigliere. You can’t have a situation in which whoever’s in charge of the government starts using that to go after their political enemies”
