In Alaska With POTUS

The Country They Love

Ten years ago today, we repealed ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.’ Today our military is stronger and our country is safer because patriotic Americans no longer have to live a lie in order to defend the country they love. pic.twitter.com/uXKSnsflMk

Nurturing Future Leaders

31 Million People

Great memories of an important day. 31 million people now have health insurance—and the peace of mind that comes with it—thanks to the Affordable Care Act. Now @POTUS is committed to making it even stronger through his Build Back Better plan. https://t.co/RRgs0heacp

The Affordable Care Act was — and is — a big deal. I’m committed to building on the progress we’ve made since its passing to ensure every American has access to the quality, affordable care they need. pic.twitter.com/y8PaxLVrzl

DACA: 9 Years

On the ninth anniversary of DACA, I’m thinking about all the brave DREAMers who have stepped forward to tell their stories. They have fueled a movement that is still working to guarantee the permanent protections they deserve. I will always be inspired by their fight. pic.twitter.com/YrVuuVTrrE

William “Buddy” Carter

William “Buddy” Carter is retiring after 47 years as a butler at the White House and the Blair House. Barack and I are so grateful to have had his warmth, charm, and dignity by our side for eight of those years. Congratulations, Buddy! pic.twitter.com/MZPox5F1a1

Bo Obama: The Rainbow Bridge

This afternoon was a difficult one for our family. We said goodbye to our best friend—Bo—after a battle with cancer. We are grateful for the love you showed him over the years. Please hug the furry members of your family a little closer tonight—and give them a belly rub from us. pic.twitter.com/zOk3SPABsT

Today our family lost a true friend and loyal companion. For more than a decade, Bo was a constant, gentle presence in our lives—happy to see us on our good days, our bad days, and everyday in between. pic.twitter.com/qKMNojiu9V

Bo lifted my spirits every time I found him lounging in the chair outside the Oval Office. He was snuggly and sweet and chill. Like many, I will miss him. https://t.co/3FkKsMd3u5

Supporting Mothers

I love these #MothersDay cards drawn by students in the @GirlsAlliance community. Send one to your mom to thank her for supporting you—and if you can, donate to girls' education projects in her honor through the Girls Opportunity Alliance Fund. https://t.co/DqrrJE7GWh pic.twitter.com/YVLouTJ6zV

Happy Mother’s Day to @MichelleObama and all the moms celebrating today. I hope you take a moment to thank the women who love you in that special way that mothers do, and remember those who are no longer with us. pic.twitter.com/Uky8xMqHRl

I hope you take today to let all the mother figures in your life know how much you love them. I know I wouldn't be where I am today if it weren't for my mom. She's always been that guiding light in my life. Wishing her and all the moms out there a wonderful #MothersDay! 💖 pic.twitter.com/Qa1ePhSpOE
