@BraydenBurries Welcome to Milwaukee

@NateAment Welcome to Milwaukee

You’re not wrong. This is beyond sad and disgusting. We’re talking about hundreds of thousands of people whose lives have been thrown into uncertainty. Many of these families have lived, worked, paid taxes, raised children, and contributed to their communities for years. Policies and court decisions aren’t just political talking points they affect real human beings. Regardless of where someone stands politically, compassion and humanity should matter. It’s heartbreaking to see so many people facing fear and instability when they simply want the opportunity to live safely and provide for their families. My heart goes out to everyone impacted by this decision.

Millions of people didn’t vote in 2024. We have a midterm election coming up, and it’s important that those Americans who didn’t vote in 2024 show up in November. Every election has consequences. Decisions are made about healthcare, education, jobs, housing, public safety, voting rights, and the future direction of our communities whether people participate or not. When people stay home, they allow others to make those decisions for them. Your voice matters. Your vote matters. If you were one of the millions who sat out the last election, consider getting informed, getting registered if needed, and making a plan to vote. Democracy works best when more people participate, not fewer. November is an opportunity to make your voice heard. The more Americans who show up and participate, the stronger our democracy becomes. Too many important issues are on the ballot, and the future of our democracy is at stake. Don’t take your right to vote for granted. Make your voice count. Encourage your family, friends, and neighbors to participate as well. Every vote is a chance to shape the future of your community, your state, and your country. Change begins when people show up, get involved, and make their voices heard. Whether you voted in the last election or not, this is an opportunity to have your voice heard and help determine the direction of our nation. Participation matters. Engagement matters. Democracy depends on all of us. Let’s make sure that in this upcoming midterm election, millions more voices are heard at the ballot box. Democracy is strongest when everyone has a seat at the table and a say in the future of our nation.

“This has to be one of the biggest lies ever told. Election security is important, but repeatedly claiming that our country is on the verge of collapse unless certain voting restrictions are passed is fearmongering, not leadership. America has held secure elections for generations, and there has never been evidence of the widespread fraud that some politicians keep warning about. A strong country is built on protecting both election integrity and every eligible citizen’s right to vote. We should be focused on making voting accessible, fair, and secure not spreading fear and misinformation to justify policies that could make it harder for people to participate in our democracy.”

So Speaker Johnson wants to force the SAVE Act through reconciliation 3.0 after it failed to gain the support needed on its own. That should concern every American who believes in protecting voting rights and ensuring eligible citizens can participate in our democracy without unnecessary barriers. The SAVE Act is a dangerous and unnecessary proposal that risks disenfranchising millions of eligible voters, including married women, seniors, military families, and others who may face challenges producing specific documentation. Instead of making it easier for citizens to exercise their constitutional right to vote, it creates more obstacles and opens the door to voter suppression. If Republicans are so confident in the merits of this bill, why are they trying to push it through reconciliation rather than allowing a full and honest debate? Americans deserve policies that expand access to the ballot box, not legislation that makes voting harder for eligible citizens. Voting is a fundamental right, not a privilege reserved for those who can navigate additional bureaucratic hurdles.

Trump has zero leverage on this housing bill. If he doesn't sign it in ten days, it becomes law. If he vetoes it, there's more than enough votes to override the veto. He's not very good at this.

So let me get this straight: you cancel a Housing News Conference and signing until the SAVE Act is passed, and then claim the SAVE Act is “desperately needed”? That makes absolutely no sense. Millions of Americans are struggling with rising housing costs, skyrocketing rents, and the dream of homeownership slipping further out of reach. Housing is a real issue affecting real people every day. Delaying action on housing to push a completely unrelated political agenda is irresponsible. The SAVE Act is a dangerous and unnecessary bill that, in my opinion, creates barriers for eligible voters and risks disenfranchising Americans. Tying housing policy to the passage of that legislation is ridiculous. The American people deserve leadership that addresses housing affordability, homelessness, and economic challenges not political gamesmanship. Housing should not be held hostage to advance a controversial bill. Americans need solutions, not distractions.

.@TomTiffanyWI does not work for you.

@TomTiffanyWI you do know that Juneteenth was not about creating a second Independence Day. It is about acknowledging that freedom did not reach all Americans on July 4, 1776. While the Declaration of Independence proclaimed liberty, millions of Black Americans remained enslaved for nearly 90 more years. Juneteenth commemorates June 19, 1865, when the last enslaved people in Galveston, Texas learned they were free more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued. Recognizing Juneteenth does not diminish July 4th; it completes the American story. We can celebrate our nation’s founding while also honoring the long struggle to make the promise of freedom a reality for everyone. A truly unified America is one that embraces all of its history the victories, the struggles, and the progress we have made together. Juneteenth is not a division of our national story; it is an important chapter in it. jsonline.com/story/news/pol…

@glennbeck Glenn no you shut the hell up you just hate the Obamas.

@glennbeck See Glenn Women aren’t property and are individuals and women couldn’t vote during that time and therefore a man shouldn’t tell a woman what to do.

@glennbeck Obama was absolutely correct in everything that he said.

Michelle and I had fun surprising the first group of visitors to the Obama Presidential Center on Juneteenth. Come check it out!

Happy Juneteenth

Today, we celebrate Juneteenth, a day commemorating the end of slavery in America. The history of slavery is an abomination that we will never let go of — nor should we. It was a practice that built the foundation of our country’s class system and economy; and a torture that stripped away the very meaning of what it meant to be human. The Black community is a remarkable cultural force that has dictated our country’s trajectory, and here in Wisconsin we are proud to celebrate that history and the achievements of our Black community. Juneteenth is an incredibly important time to reflect on the horrible history and impact of slavery and celebrate the progress that has been made.

This is what real American Presidents look like. I said what I said. 🇺🇸

"I dare you to do better. I dare you to dream bigger." — President Obama

Anybody who knows me knows how much I absolutely love the Obamas. Their leadership, grace, and commitment to service have always been an inspiration to me. I’m especially looking forward to visiting the Obama Presidential Center and experiencing the history, vision, and legacy it represents. It’s more than a building it’s a symbol of hope, progress, and what’s possible when purpose meets action. x.com/GMA/status/206…
