I’ve been hearing @realDonaldTrump and @RudyGiuliani claiming that ‘collusion is not a crime.’ Well, I took the liberty of reading the U.S. code myself. Here’s what the law actually says: pic.twitter.com/qW2GPxuDdC

Following yesterday’s post about the White House press secretary, several people asked me to post a photo of Josh Earnest. He’s at left in this photo of President Obama preparing for his last State of the Union address along with Ben Rhodes (read his book, it’s excellent) and Cody Keenan. #throwshadethenvote — Pete Souza
JUST IN: Matt Dunlap, member of Trump’s former voter fraud commission, publishes trove of records, finds zero evidence of mass voter fraud, says claims from White House “were, in fact, false."
The American family has legitimate issues and fissures that provoke potent reactions. But let’s be clear about what Russia did when they interfered in the 2016 election. They came into our house. They manipulated us. They provoked us. They tried to turn us against each other. pic.twitter.com/jiCjIw0UhC

How?
Cuz @realdonaldtrump, his Family, @FoxNews (+ much of the US Media), the @GOP & @NRA, & a bunch of rich WHITE FOLK were/are ALLIES of the ENEMY - RUSSIA.

So there you are, MP! Howdy to you and a ‘Happy President Obama birthday-day to you!’. 😀
'Happy 57th birthday to my forever president, @BarackObama.'

Sweet Bella … today is President Obama’s birthday… a good day for pie and smiles and celebrating an amazing man… we are not going to make mention of nasty news and even nastier poor excuses for humans… this day, we take a break from the moronic and only post goodness and honor a great man on his special day. Breathe and commence partying! ❤️
Happy Birthday Mr. President~ you are so loved & cherished… and still working to make the world a better, lighter place for all of us. Thank you for continuing to uplift our young folks across the planet aspiring to lead us into the future and a far better world. I’m so grateful to you.
Our lunches together were a highlight of every week at the White House. Last week's trip to @DogTagBakery was no different. Happy birthday to my brother, my friend, @BarackObama. pic.twitter.com/0faYjvnPW6
Happy Birthday to Pres. @BarackObama, America's last legitimately elected President, for now, & #MeghanMarkle, Britain's first American princess. Born on this day… 20 years apart in 1961 & 1981, respectively. Brilliant, generous souls who bring a smile to my face on dark days. pic.twitter.com/HGYKwLwK8S
To one of the most admired men in the world, HAPPY 57th BIRTHDAY @BarackObama We continue to look to you for inspiration and visionary leadership, good natured humor and compassion and, most of all, HOPE. pic.twitter.com/IOkpLIX51y
Thought this throwback photograph from President Obama’s 49th birthday was an appropriate one to wish him a happy birthday today. And now he and LeBron have something in common—being the recipient of racist and bullying tweets from the current president. Oh, and both of them like Mike. #throwshadethenvote @kingjames
Good morning TOD family. Happy happy Birthday to President Barack Obama! You are missed. May today be a very special day.
Today is a sad day for me. My son is leaving tonight to go back to Malaysia for another year of teaching. He has been home for a month and it has been a very full busy month. I hate to see him go but I am ready for some rest and lazy days.
Mighty Pamela, is it your daughter that has the travel blog? I was sure I had bookmarked it but now I can’t find it. Please post it again. Thank you.
Thank you Pamela. Was so mad at myself when I couldn’t find it. I so agree that we must set the free to do what they are meant to do. I am just thankful for the ability to stay in such close touch and travel the world thru them.

I really needed #ObamaDay. Like deep down. This thread and all the wonderful images and words on Twitter today are heart-expanding. https://t.co/LJ0T1980MR
I say that if you miss PBO and appreciated what his accomplishments were while in office, then you have an obligation to yourself to make sure that we can protect the good he did, the good that WE did, together. How you begin to do that, is VOTE. ALL THE TIME. EVERY TIME. EVERY ELECTION. WITHOUT FAIL. Make the country you want to live in and have your children and grandchildren grow up in…one we can be proud of.
Just 17% of eligible 18 to 24 year-olds cast a ballot in the last midterm election.
Imagine what could happen if they doubled that number this year.
Do you want to get President @BarackObama a gift? Register. Register others. Help people get IDs. Make November 6th a day of action. Protect and defend his legacy. /3https://t.co/7ae8M0SrLg
The thing about President @BarackObama’s birthday is every year, it forces us to both appreciate what we had and - even if you had issues with the man - respect the intelligence, care and decency in which he handled his terms in office. /1#HappyBirthdayBarackObama pic.twitter.com/Ky69VK19gR
Ten years ago you helped make history—now help us write it.

Happy Birthday to my favorite President, and I have been alive since FDR was president. Just seeing these pictures makes my heart jump for joy. I am reminded of something my husband said just a week before he passed away. He had reached the point where his grasp of life was somewhat tenuous as he slowly slipped away. I was alone with him and he suddenly looked up, opened his eyes, and said: “My doll, is President Obama still president of the United States?” I proudly and happily answered, “Yes he is.” He smiled, sighed happily, and went back to sleep. He was able to die happy, and I am so glad. We saw him as he began his campaign in February 2007, and we never forgot that day. What he said then, he continued to say. He was consistent and thoughtful. I will always be thankful that I was alive during his amazing presidency.
I am still alive, because My President cared. Thank you and Happy Birthday President Obama! #ObamaDay #Obamacare #ACA #ThanksObama pic.twitter.com/YULxmd2ezs
Barack sightings always make people happy!
LOL. How come I’ve never seen President Obama in person? I work in D.C. DANG IT!!

I may need to do just that.
That is it in clear and understanding English.

Thank you, Nobel Prize Committee, for that reminder.
As Kim Jong Un continues to renege on the “agreement” with the Dotard, let this be one more thing that bothers Trump no end.
I hope the picture loads. It’s one of my favs. https://twitter.com/underthematrix/status/1025796289991073792
