Michelle and I loved reading to this bright group of kids today! We hope this new Chicago Public Library branch at the Obama Presidential Center will be a place where folks come to read, check out books, and connect with one another for years to come.

Michelle Obama: "No one has the right to sit in judgment of who is American enough. And that's why, folks, we simply don't have the luxury or time to be cynical or complacent."

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.

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.

Trump is going after public officials who oppose him while rewarding allies, convicted fraudsters, and January 6 rioters with pardons and favors funded by taxpayers. That’s not justice — it’s political retribution. We won’t be intimidated, and we won’t be silent.

Epstein's suicide note has been sealed in a NYC courthouse for 7 years. His cellmate found it in a graphic novel. Federal investigators never saw it. Documents were shredded outside the jail during the active investigation. The NYT is petitioning to unseal it. Watch this.
