I'm incredibly saddened for our country today as we lost a patriot in Ash Carter. From his work to decapitate ISIL to building the most diverse military in our history – Ash made America stronger.

This is especially sweet remembering all the times Congress came within inches of getting it done, and knowing so many kept up the effort these last 12+ years. It's a huge victory for a healing planet - and a shot in the arm across the world where work remains. Onwards! (2/2)

I'll never forget meeting this extraordinary, Greatest Generation embodiment of the word “citizen.” Rest in Peace to WWII’s last living Medal of Honor recipient. He inspired everyone lucky enough to meet him - and his legacy should inspire all now and forever.

An honor of a lifetime to meet WWII hero and Medal of Honor recipient Hershel “Woody” Williams at the groundbreaking of the ⁦@MohMuseum⁩ in March. His foundation confirms he passed away this morning at the age of 98. Rest In Peace, sir. 🇺🇸

Congratulations to Her Majesty as she celebrates her Platinum Jubilee. I’m in awe of the history she's not just lived, but shaped, and the quality of her contribution even more than its longevity. She is grace and strength personified.

. and have done a terrific job building a strong diplomatic corps. When Jane Hartley served in France, I saw just how capable she was every day during the Paris Agreement negotiations, and I have no doubt that she will be terrific in the UK. (1/2)

Harry Reid shared and taught so much with all of us who were fortunate enough to serve with him. My thoughts on the passing of a genuine "Master of the Senate."

It's very hard to imagine a Senate without . Patrick has been a model of what a Senator can and should be, from the way he's served, to the lessons he shared today. He and Marcelle, together (and they are always together!) don't just love Vermont, they are Vermont.

Today I'm thinking of our Senate "Band of Brothers" - especially Max, who made it home to heaven just in time to give a hug to John McCain on this holiday that meant so much to them and their lifelong work for veterans. To all who served, we say thank you - today and every day.

. is right: is weeks away, and the future is indeed watching. Governments can’t solve the climate crisis alone. The fact that the private sector is leading underscores to every country that action is a jobs opportunity – and action means this decade.

I'm also remembering the flights that took off from Boston, never to return, and am praying for everyone who lost someone special, and remain grateful for the fearless first responders who rushed towards danger so others might live. Our nation remains indebted to you all. 3/3

It’s so hard to believe that twenty years have passed since the horror, anger, pain, courage, and resolve that were contained in the bright blue-skies of that September day. So many families changed forever when lives were so suddenly lost. 1/3

Very, very few are motivated by people and fight for people the way Rich did. And he believed in the promise of clean energy to create great jobs for labor families. Sending lots of love to both the Trumka family and his family. (2/2)

I first met when he was John Sweeney's VP and some dared declare that organized labor was dying. Rich breathed incredible life back into the movement which defined so much of his life. A friend, an advocate, a leader – even those words don't do him justice. (1/2)
