Today, some of the books that shaped my life—and the lives of so many others—are being challenged by people who disagree with certain ideas or perspectives. And librarians are on the front lines, fighting every day to make the widest possible range of viewpoints, opinions, and… https://t.co/txhCTfH3Ghtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Michelle and I want to thank these librarians for their unwavering commitment to the freedom to read.

I hope you’ll read my letter to them, and join me in reminding anyone who will listen—and even some people you think might not—that the free, robust exchange of ideas has always… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

If you need a reminder that elections have consequences, check out what's happening in Minnesota.

minnpost.com/state-governme…
Earlier this year, Democrats took control of the State Senate by one seat after winning a race by just 321 votes. It gave Democrats control of both chambers of the state legislature and the governor’s mansion.
Since then, Minnesota has made progress on a whole host of issues – from protecting abortion rights and new gun safety measures to expanding access to the ballot and reducing child poverty. These laws will make a real difference in the lives of Minnesotans.

This week's climate report from the IPCC is an urgent reminder of the limited window we have to deal with the climate crisis. In order to limit temperature rise to 1.5 degrees, it will require everyone to do their part. washingtonpost.com/climate-enviro…
The impacts of climate change are why we pushed so hard for the Paris Agreement during my time in office—no nation is immune from the harmful effects of this crisis and we all have a role to play in addressing it.
It's also important to note that @POTUS and his administration have taken historic steps that move us closer than before to meeting the moment. That should give us hope that more progress can be achieved.

Today marks two years since the Biden-Harris administration began. I’ve been reflecting on how fortunate we’ve been to have the steady leadership of @POTUS and @VP—and all the public servants working to deliver for folks across the country. President Biden and Vice President Harris in the Rose Garden
They’ve strengthened the Affordable Care Act. They’ve lowered health care costs for seniors. They’ve capped the costs of insulin. They’ve distributed hundreds of millions of free vaccines.
Under the leadership of the Biden-Harris administration, our economy has added more than 10.7 million jobs. President Biden also worked across the aisle to rebuild our infrastructure and invest in American manufacturing.

I can't emphasize enough how much Secretary of State races matter. They don’t always get the most attention, but they’re crucial to ensuring we have fair elections—and this time, voters across the country chose candidates who will fight for democracy.
Let's celebrate Democratic candidates like @CiscoForNevada, who will be Nevada’s next Secretary of State. His opponent spread conspiracy theories and lies about voting machines. Cisco will protect the integrity of Nevada’s elections.
.@JocelynBenson has been doing a great job as Michigan’s Secretary of State. She was just re-elected, and will continue to make sure every Michiganders vote counts in every election.

You’ve only got six days left to vote in the midterms – and while I know you’ve heard this a million times already, this election really is too important to sit out.

In many places, your vote could make the difference.
Yesterday I traveled to Nevada to support some incredible Democrats up and down the ticket.

Candidates like @StevenHorsford, @dinatitus, @SusieLeeNV, @CiscoForNevada, @AaronDFordNV, @SteveSisolak, and @CortezMasto who will work to fight for you. President Obama stands with...
So if you’re anxious or frustrated right now, don’t complain.

Don’t tune out.

Don’t let the other side convince you that your vote doesn’t matter.

Michigan – we've got to show up and vote for Democrats up and down the ballot. Governor Gretchen Whitmer, President Obama, and Lieutenant G
Tuning out is not an option.

Despair is not an option.

The only way to make this economy fairer is if we, all of us, fight for it.
The only way to save democracy is if we, together, fight for it.

And that starts with electing people who know you, and see you, and care about you. People who will fight for you.
