@Here’s a great way to call voters in Georgia and help them get ready to vote. A couple hours this weekend could help Democrats win the Senate.
Vote Save America: 🍑25 days🍑 left till the runoff elections in Georgia.
We’ve partnered with @NextGenAmerica to make 50k calls to young voters to make sure they vote by mail, in-person, or early (starting Monday 12/14).

Happy Hanukkah to all those celebrating around the world. This year has tested us all, but it's also clarified what really matters. May the lights of the menorah remind us to cherish the blessings we have and offer glimmers of hope. From my family to yours, Chag Sameach!
In A Promised Land, I talk about the decisions I had to make during the first few years of my presidency. Here are some thoughts on how I approach tough questions:

Marjon Saulon: One of the reasons I was inspired to get into community work a few years ago. Shoutout to my partner for getting me a copy. She knows me too well. #APromisedLand
Glad to see A Promised Land in such good company.

This was fun. I heard Tim and Fred were listening to some of the songs on my A Promised Land playlist, so I decided to drop in and surprise them. We talked about a lot, from Bob Dylan to old-school mixtapes to the role music played in my memoir.

My memoir, A Promised Land, is out today. I hope you’ll read it. My goal was to give you some insight into the events and people that shaped me during the early years of my presidency. Most of all, I hope it inspires you to see yourself playing a role in shaping a better world.

Music has always played an important role in my life—and that was especially true during my presidency. In honor of my book hitting shelves tomorrow, I put together this playlist featuring some memorable songs from my administration. Hope you enjoy it.
More than anyone else, I wrote my book for young people—as an invitation to once again remake the world, and to bring about, through hard work, determination, and a big dose of imagination, an America that finally aligns with all that is best in us.
