The Inflation Reduction Act that just passed the Senate is a major accomplishment. Not only will it reduce inflation and lower the cost of prescription drugs – it also happens to be the most consequential piece of climate legislation in American history. nytimes.com/2022/08/07/us/po…

Thanks everybody for the birthday wishes. I am so touched by the messages I got from folks all over the country who are out there doing the work to create lasting change. You give me hope.
To mark @BarackObama’s birthday, the @ObamaFoundation created a special book full of letters from over 150 Obama campaign and Administration alumni who reflected on their transformational journey with him and how they are carrying the baton of change forward today. 💙

My mother, Ann Dunham, was the biggest influence on my life, and helped shape me into the person I am today.
I’m proud to share that the Water Garden at the Obama Presidential Center will be named in her honor.

The Ann Dunham Water Garden will be a special place for visitors and members of the community to reflect. It will also feature an incredible new sculpture by Maya Lin, whose work I've long admired.

You bet, Joe. 31 million folks enrolled and the lowest uninsured rate ever. Now Congress needs to pass the Inflation Reduction Act to build on this progress.
Thanks to Obamacare, and the improvements we made to it in the American Rescue Plan, the uninsured rate hit its lowest point ever today.
Pretty cool, huh, @BarackObama? usatoday.com/story/news/poli…

More than 20 years after 9/11, one of the masterminds of that terrorist attack and Osama bin Laden’s successor as the leader of al-Qaeda – Ayman al-Zawahiri – has finally been brought to justice.

It’s a tribute to President Biden’s leadership, to the members of the intelligence community who have been working for decades for this moment, and to the counterterrorism professionals who were able to take al-Zawahiri out without a single civilian casualty.

Today, we lost a giant.
As tall as Bill Russell stood, his legacy rises far higher—both as a player and as a person.

Perhaps more than anyone else, Bill knew what it took to win and what it took to lead. On the court, he was the greatest champion in basketball history. Off of it, he was a civil rights trailblazer—marching with Dr. King and standing with Muhammad Ali.

This has been a big week for the Biden Administration and Democrats in Congress. First, Congress is on track to pass a bipartisan bill that will lower the cost of everything from cars to consumer goods, and make us less dependent on foreign semiconductors.

Then President Biden and Democrats in Congress announced a deal that will fight inflation by reducing the cost of prescription drugs, cutting the deficit, and making the biggest investments in history to boost clean energy and tackle the climate crisis.

Every year, I get excited to share my summer playlist because I learn about so many new artists from your replies—it’s an example of how music really can bring us all together.
Here’s what I’ve been listening to this summer. What songs would you add?

There is so much power in telling our story, sharing our truth, and inviting others into our lives. I’m so proud of @MichelleObama for doing just that in her new book, The Light We Carry, and can’t wait for you to read it.
These past few years, I've been thinking about how to stay centered in a world filled with so much uncertainty. And that process led me to writing my new book—The Light We Carry—coming out on November 15. Learn more at michelleobamabooks.com. #TheLightWeCarry
