On this day in 1987, the White House welcomed Mrs. Reagan home following her breast cancer surgery. She continued to remind women everywhere of the importance of early detection and regular screenings. This message remains just as vital today. #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth

Congratulations to María Corina Machado on receiving the Nobel Peace Prize. Her courageous fight for democracy in Venezuela is a reminder that socialism doesn’t lift people up, it holds them down. We continue to stand with the Venezuelan people in their pursuit of freedom, democracy, & opportunity.
