Happy Fourth of July! I always say that I was born in Austria, made in America. This is the store in Graz where I found the magazine that became my blueprint for getting to America when I was just 15.
My dreams would have been impossible anywhere else, so today and every day, I’m grateful for the United States. And I will always fight for our country to be better every day, because being the greatest country in the world isn’t easy.
We have to work our asses off to keep improving. That’s patriotism. #FourthofJuly

Thank you @antonioguterres for your powerful video message this week at the Austrian World Summit. You are a true climate action hero and I hope to see you in person next year.
Thank you to Chancellor Angela Merkel for your support. I look forward to seeing your Climate Change Act in action.
Thank you to @PEspinosaC for your continued support of our summit. As you said, it is important that countries rise above their differences and work together to terminate pollution.

I want to thank everyone who participated in last week’s @climateaws. Nearly a million of you joined us online. Here’s my speech for those of you have missed it.
I want to thank my partner in the Austrian World Summit, President @vanderbellen. You are a climate action hero, and a wonderful friend.
Thank you Chancellor @SebastianKurz for your continued partnership, and for reminding the audience of Churchill’s line: never waste a crisis.

I’ve been thinking about this a lot. I’m a fanatic about voting. Most people call closing polls voter suppression. Some say it is “budgetary.” What if I made it easy & solved the budgetary issue? How much would it cost to reopen polling places? reuters.com/article/us-usa…
This is a serious question. Is closing polling stations about making it harder for minorities to vote, or is it because of budgets? If you say it’s because of your budget, let’s talk.
Today I sent a letter to nearly 6,000 elections officials and county commissioners in states formerly covered by Voting Rights Act Section 5 inviting them to apply for grants, funded by me, to reopen polling centers and improve voting access.

I just heard the news that my friend Ephraim passed away. My thoughts are with his family, and I hope his wife and children can take comfort in knowing that Ephraim isn’t gone- his inspiration and energy lives on with all of us who knew him.
When we met for the first time at the Special Olympics in South Africa 19 years ago, and when we met again last year to catch up, Ephraim talked about how much I inspired him. But if I had to say who left each meeting more inspired, it was definitely me.
He had such a big heart, he loved his family more than anything, and he was constantly giving back and coaching kids. He had the best attitude, choosing to focus on what he could do rather than complaining about what he couldn’t.

Before this crisis, I sat down for an hour to talk with @laddersport about the importance of routines. Now all of our routines are thrown off, but I told the team to publish it, because you might find some motivation that helps you right now.
Like I said to @BornFitness, more habits on autopilot without thinking = more time to focus on the things you really need to think about.
I don’t think about training or riding my bike or reading the news in the morning. That’s my routine. There is no choosing to work out, just like there is no choosing to eat or sleep. I have to do it.

This crisis is unprecedented, but we have gotten through disasters, from earthquakes & wildfires to hurricanes & tornadoes by using the 7 P’s: Proper Prior Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance and by working together.
I know it can seem overwhelming and it can be easy to focus on the negative, so as I find them, I’m going to start sharing the stories of heroes who prepared, who stepped up to help their fellow Americans. They give me hope.
I read this story in @TexasMonthly today about @HEB and it is a masterclass in preparation and being ready to support your community. texasmonthly.com/food/heb-prepa…
