@To every veteran and their family, we thank you for your service and sacrifice to our country.
.@SpeakerPelosi and these members of Congress are making it clear that the United States is back, and will continue to lead the way on climate change. We would not have met our Paris goals without them, and now they’re working to do even more.
Nancy Pelosi: During his presidency, @barackobama helped us meet and beat our Paris goals.
As President Biden and the world make them bolder at #COP26, it was a pleasure to meet with President Obama to discuss how we can preserve the planet for future generations.
Young people have more at stake in the fight against climate change than anyone else. I had a chance to talk with some young people who are helping lead the fight, and could not be more impressed by their courage, creativity, and persistence. They give me hope.
If you care about climate change, @JohnDoerr's new book, Speed & Scale: An Action Plan for Solving Our Climate Crisis Now, offers concrete steps that we can all take to make a difference.
I spoke at COP26 in Glasgow about what’s happened in the six years since the Paris Agreement, and how much further we still need to go to control climate change.
Five years ago, the Paris Agreement went into effect. Paris provided an important framework in the fight against climate change, but it wasn’t enough. That’s why I’ll be speaking in Glasgow on Monday about the road ahead and what young people in particular can do to help.
Signing the Paris Agreement to fight climate change was one of my proudest moments in office. But it was always a foundation to build on. As world leaders gather for COP26, I shared some reflections on the road to Paris and the young activists who are pushing us further.
In a country as large and diverse as ours, progress can often feel frustrating and slow, with small victories accompanied by frequent setbacks. But once in a while, it’s still possible to take a giant leap forward. That’s what the Build Back Better framework represents.
When you look at the history of big social movements, they’re usually started and sustained by young people who put in the work to make it happen. As we look to COP26, I’m inspired by the young people using their voices in the fight against climate change.
YouTube: President @barackobama has entered the chat – and it's *so* inspiring!! #DearEarth
It was great to be back in New Jersey! There's too much at stake in this election to sit it out. Let's keep New Jersey moving forward by re-electing @PhilMurphyNJ and Democrats up and down the ballot. Make a plan to vote early—and get everyone you know to do the same.
Phil Murphy: President @barackobama knows there’s too much at stake to sit on the sidelines this election. Early in-person voting started this weekend, so get to the polls, New Jersey! #GOTV
Virginians delivered for me twice, and now I’m asking them to do it again by electing @TerryMcAuliffe as their next governor. Every bit of progress in Virginia is at stake in this election—and there's no time to waste. Make a plan to vote early at

Some of the most important changes often start in state legislatures. That's why I'm proud to support these candidates for the Virginia state legislature. I hope you'll join me and the @DLCC in giving them your vote.
Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee: Huge news from Virginia! President @barackobama is throwing his support behind 21 Virginia House candidates running in the most competitive districts. These are the races we need to win in order to #KeepVABlue.
Glad I had a chance to talk with our new champs! I really am proud of this team and their work this season.
Chicago Sky: “I could not be prouder of you guys.”
#skytown received a call from @barackobama after their Championship celebration in downtown Chicago! 💙
It was great speaking with the @MBK_Alliance Advisory Council, and hearing more about the work they’re doing to make a difference in the lives of boys and young men of color across the country.
My Brother's Keeper Alliance: Earlier this month our Advisory Council met with @barackobama to discuss our progress and the road ahead for @MBK_Alliance. We could not be more grateful for the time and dedication this extraordinary group of leaders provide to our young men and mission!

General Colin Powell understood what was best in this country, and tried to bring his own life, career, and public statements in line with that ideal. Michelle and I will always look to him as an example of what America—and Americans—can and should be.
Congrats to our new WNBA champs, @ChicagoSky! I couldn’t be prouder of this team — they worked hard for this moment, and have made our city proud.
Chicago Sky: This one is for you, Chicago. 🏆
The Chicago Sky are your 2021 WNBA Champions.

Re And of course, I’m excited for my @WhiteSox to be back in the playoffs. It’s going to be hard to top a walk-off home run on the Field of Dreams, but if any team can do it, it’s this one. Go Sox!
It’s always good to be from Chicago, but this year is especially sweet. Congratulations to the @ChicagoSky for making it to the WNBA finals, and to the legend, @Candace_Parker, for making all of us proud. We’ll be rooting for you.
WNBA: About last night 🤩
The No.6 @chicagosky defeated the No. 1 Connecticut Sun and are now FINALS BOUND 🎉 #WNBAPlayoffs
Re In Texas, for example, Republicans recently passed a law making voting harder, especially for people of color. Now they’re advancing a new congressional map that’s tilted in their favor and doesn’t reflect the state’s growth.
NDRC: The GOP-led Texas state senate just released a draft congressional map, and the gerrymandering we’ve been warning about is brazen.
Republicans have made it clear that they don’t care about a fair electoral process - they only care about retaining power. #txlege
