Panya means ‘mouse’ in Swahili. It’s also the name of our newest grandbaby! Hours after giving birth, ex-orphan Panda returned home to introduce her daughter to the people who raised her. In fact, it was a real family reunion: We had 54 orphans, ex-orphans, and wild-born babies in attendance.

We are endlessly grateful to every one of our supporters who help us provide the first-class care orphaned elephants need to survive, thrive, and ultimately return to their rightful home in the wild.
Are you one of our adopters? We’d love to know – who do you adopt?

Americans know that our health care system is broken. This week is a vote on a band-aid. But I believe we need to fundamentally reimagine health care in America. To me, that's a nationwide public insurance plan.

I had fun reading to some Burke Elementary students at the Chicago Public Library today. When the Obama Presidential Center opens next year, we’ll have a new branch of the library for the community to enjoy.

I only know that Laura Ingraham went to Dartmouth because I once read an appalling account of her time there. She went to a Gay Students Association meeting. And then printed the members' names in the school newspaper. This was during the height of the AIDS crisis. She is evil.

I've loved Sigourney Weaver ever since one of my all-time favorite movies, ALIEN. Couldn't resist going all fanboy on her yesterday & asking for a photo. She told me she's now in the cast of The Mandalorian. Talk about bad timing: she's now in that galaxy far, far away, years after I checked out! 💔

The Supreme Court, Presidency, Senate and two party system are all quite anti-democratic institutions as presently constructed.
Our institutions are not only incapable of preventing tyranny—they’re currently enabling it.
When democracy returns, we need to reform our political system.

Rand Paul: "This is an insane policy. It's inconsistent. It's not war. It's not the way we've ever done this. If we can blow up a boat in the ocean, what about when they get to Miami & put it in a truck? Can you shoot a grenade launcher at the truck? No! We arrest people b/c sometimes we're wrong."

This is such brilliant archaeology. There's a bit of a persistent story that Britain was somehow culturally separate from europe in the Roman empire when it was so intertwined and connected by people and goods travelling.
