Barack Obama has the unique ability to both calm us about our state of affairs and convince us we need to act - the balance to inspire without making us feel overwhelmed by the sheer scope of it all. He reminds us who we are as humans and how much we can (and will) do together.

The Obamas have a singular ability to articulate a progressive patriotism that is simultaneously inclusive and uncompromising about core values.
Do you think we're ready? #Harris2024
No long list update for 9pm. I don't wanna spam your feeds with an hourly long tweet. But here's the summary:
VP Harris has been endorsed by:
-- Pres. Biden, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, John Kerry
-- Secretaries Buttigieg, Granholm, and Haaland
-- at least eight governors
-- at least seven states' attorneys general
-- at least 24 U.S Senators
-- at least 85 House members
-- at least 14 major city mayors
-- numerous orgs
It's the fastest launch of a presidential campaign in modern history.
I'll send a comprehensive list later tonight or tomorrow morning. Subscribe to get it (for free) right here:

#Kristalnacht was 85 yrs ago. Jewish ppl are attacked in the US because they are Jewish. Jewish shop owners are being targeted because they are Jewish. Loving #civilrights means denouncing #antisemitism. #NoMoreHate @civilrightsorg youtu.be/MV7APkztDDc?si=MnXf…

BREAKING: Luanne Peterpaul just won her race to New Jersey’s AD-11, becoming the first openly LGBTQ+ woman ever elected to the state Assembly!!
She spent her career standing up to bullies and will be a strong advocate for the LGBTQ+ community. Congrats Luanne & @TeamMonmouth!

Bad night for Republicans running on abortion bans and transphobia, I’m so sorry I don’t know what happened

Ohio Sen. @SherrodBrown (D) on @Lawrence now: "My three opponents, there are 3 Republicans running for the Senate seat… All of them have said they want a national abortion ban... We’ve gotta make sure that doesn’t happen. And that’s really my mission for the next 12 months."

In another kick in the jewels for the former president*, Yusef Salaam, of the Central Park 5, wins a NYC council seat. Donnie wanted him executed once.

Psaki: I would love to know what passage in the bible told Johnson to become one of the most important architects behind trump's effort to overturn the 2020 election. Which passage? Was it god whispering in his ear to ignore the constitution and disenfranchise millions of voters?

I’m sorry but imagine making this person the leader of your caucus

Bombing a hospital is among the gravest of war crimes. The IDF reportedly blowing up one of the few places the injured and wounded can seek medical treatment and shelter during a war is horrific.
@POTUS needs to push for an immediate ceasefire to end this slaughter.
BREAKING: The Gaza Health Ministry says at least 500 people killed in an explosion at a hospital that it says was caused by an Israeli airstrike. apnews.com/article/israel-pa…

Yeah I can’t get over it.
From not being an active HC or having any experience within the WNBA to being the highest paid coach in WNBA History is white male privilege at work.

Sunday “belongs” to the NFL. And yet yesterday, we had:
- The largest women’s basketball crowd ever
- The highest gate receipt in WNBA history
- The first-ever NWSL decision day
Women’s sports doesn’t need men’s sports to fail in order to succeed. It’s not a zero-sum game.
We have a LOT of work to do.
Governing vs. nongoverning. Wanting to govern vs. hating government. #Democracy #VoteBlue
Last Congress, with almost the exact same margins, @HouseDemocrats passed some of the most significant legislation in recent history on infrastructure, climate, lowering healthcare costs, gun violence prevention, and more.
Republicans can't even vote on a Speaker.
