I recently sat down with three leaders who are part of the @obamafoundation.bsky.social'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:

Machado, a 58-year-old industrial engineer who lives in hiding, was blocked in 2024 by Venezuela's courts from running for president and thus challenging President Nicolas Maduro, who has been in power since 2013. Here's what we know about her: reut.rs/4nHaDpX

“Illinois governor says we’re provoking actions that are unlawful,” Miller said on CNN. “If I put federal law enforcement and National Guard into a nice sleepy Southern town, is anyone gonna riot?”

I always wondered if that trait was unique to the cat we had when I was growing up. She also spoke simple words and cried like an infant.

Just want to remind everyone that little moments of joy are so important right now.

For instance, my cat does not understand the human concept of kisses beyond Incoming Nose = Love. So every time she’s happy, she’ll smush her face or shove her nose into ours.

Please share your joys with us.

It's been over 9 months since the Palisades and Eaton Fires tore through Los Angeles. We asked for federal support, but we haven’t heard a word from the White House.

Not a single offer.

Is this what leadership looks like? Abandoning the American people when they call for help?

Currently?... nobody.
This jet is flying on fumes and prayers.
I'm all out of fucks and we are almost out of fumes.

Remind me again what happens to the little steam pot when it gets all steamed up?

When I get off this mountain you know where I want to go
Straight down the Mississippi River to the Gulf of Mexico.
To Lake Charles, Louisiana.
Little Bessie girl I once knew.
Up on Cripple Creek, she sent me...
If I spring a leak, she mends me.
I don't have to speak, she defends me.
