Before the president gets on television tonight to peddle lies and conspiracy theories, here is what you need to know: The 2020 election was not stolen. We won, and he lost.

Joan Sebastian Guerrero should still be alive. This is the second time in a week that ICE agents have killed someone who — by their own admission — was not the subject of their operation. Now Sebastian is dead, his killing witnessed by his three-year-old daughter wearing her Bluey pajamas.

The news cycle has moved on since the Louisiana v. Callais decision on April 29, but we cannot. My thoughts on our continued fight for voting rights:

We need to keep talking about voting rights.

The news cycle has moved on, but we will not.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo's family called him "El mundo entero" — the whole world. Two days ago, he was shot and killed by ICE agents on his way to work.

When America is at our best, we look out for one another and know that we have much more in common than what separates us. That idea has been fundamental to the fabric of our nation since our founding.

What has carried our nation forward is not the absence of challenges, but the willingness of ordinary people to meet them with hope, courage, and action. As we celebrate America’s 250th, we must continue to fight for one another, our democracy, and the promise of what we can build together.

When the Court overturned Roe, one thought kept running through my mind: Women of this generation were about to lose rights that previous generations had fought to secure.

Happy Father’s Day to the fathers, stepfathers, grandfathers, uncles, godfathers, and father figures helping to raise the next generation with care and compassion. And to @douglasemhoff.bsky.social, thank you for the joy, care, and humor you bring to our family every day. We love you so very much.

The celebration of Juneteenth started in Galveston, but its impact is felt far beyond Texas. Generations of Americans refused to accept that freedom belongs just to some. They understood that freedom is something to cherish, and that each generation must continue the fight for justice and equality.

To know Barack and Michelle is to understand: They have always believed that leadership is about leaving something behind that empowers others.

“They told us voting is a privilege, not a right.” That’s what I heard from students at North Carolina A&T who are fighting to protect access to the ballot. These young leaders are organizing, speaking out, and refusing to let anyone take their power — and I am so proud of them.

Congratulations to Xavier Becerra. I am excited to offer him all the support I can as he sets out to become our state’s next governor, and I look forward to standing with him as California makes history by electing our first Latino governor in 150 years.

California, our primary election is on June 2. Make sure your ballot is filled out and submitted on time. To everyone across the country, this is your reminder to stay engaged. Know your election dates, check your registration status, and make sure you are prepared to vote.

Today, we pause to remember the Americans who laid down their lives in service to our nation. May we always honor their legacy and support the loved ones they left behind.

Georgia, it’s Election Day. You have the chance to send Miracle Rankin and Jen Jordan to the Georgia Supreme Court. They are extraordinary leaders who will fight to protect your rights and uphold the rule of law.

You can redraw districts, but you cannot erase the power of the people. This week, I spoke with @justinjpearson.bsky.social about our continued fight for voting rights — even in the face of efforts to silence and divide us.

Last month in Virginia, the people made their voices heard at the ballot box and voted for new Congressional maps. Today, the Virginia Supreme Court ignored the will of the people and overturned those democratically chosen maps.

Mifepristone is safe and effective health care, and access to health care should be a right for every American.

Today’s Supreme Court ruling guts the Voting Rights Act and turns back the clock on the foundational promise of equality and fairness in our election systems.

Donald Trump and Republicans have tried to rig the 2026 midterms. Today in Virginia, voters sent them a clear message: The power is with the people.

We have to stay focused on what is in front of us. We must win the midterms. But we must also have a vision for when we are in power to address childcare, housing, and health care and make life more affordable.

Here in North Carolina and around the country, gas prices are too high. This is a direct result of Donald Trump's war of choice in Iran, and the American people are paying the price.

Under the current administration, Black maternal health initiatives and women’s health research are under attack. This Black Maternal Health Week, we recognize that the fight continues to ensure the health and safety of all women in this country.

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it. This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.

Happy Resurrection Sunday to all those celebrating. May this Easter remind us all of the promise of renewal, the power of faith, and the enduring hope that carries us through even the most challenging moments. Wishing you and your loved ones peace, joy, and quality time together.

Donald Trump votes by mail. But this week, he signed an Executive Order so you can’t. Why? Because he is scared of your power, and he is scared of losing the midterms.

We must be clear eyed about what is at stake with the Supreme Court right now. We cannot allow Donald Trump to hand pick one, if not two, additional justices. The nation's highest court must be stopped from becoming even more beholden to him.

A few thoughts ahead of the President’s speech tonight.

Today’s Artemis II launch marks a major step forward in space exploration. I have had the privilege of spending time with this crew and seeing their discipline and commitment up close. As they begin this mission, I am wishing them a safe journey and a safe return home.

Long before today’s ruling, we knew social media was harming our young people. Teens, parents, advocates, even casual observers begged tech and elected leaders to take action. While we applaud this decision, we have more work to do to protect young people online and support their mental health.
