My friend is right: The designation of Avi Kwa Ame opens a new chapter of working together with Tribal nations, the federal government, and local leaders to protect our environment.

Leaks of classified information like we’ve recently seen are deeply troubling, could be damaging, and cannot be allowed to happen again.

The Administration’s action today is the right one.

Today, my Administration is announcing our plan to expand health coverage for Dreamers, the thousands of young people brought to the U.S. as kids.
We’re not done fighting for their pathway to citizenship, but we're getting them the opportunities they deserve in the meantime.

If the recent decision on mifepristone is allowed to stand, it would eliminate access to abortion medication even in states that protect the right to choose.
For now it’s still safe, effective, and accessible, and I’ll fight to keep it that way.

Don't let anyone tell you that there's nothing we can do to stop mass shootings in our country.
Don't let them say we're "not going to fix it."
Too many communities and too many families are grieving. Congress can act to stop gun violence. We must.

I’ve said before that the campaign to undermine women’s reproductive freedom didn’t end when Roe was overturned.
I won’t apologize for defending a woman’s right to choose, including choosing abortion medication. This ruling is out of step and dangerous.

What happened today in the TN legislature was unacceptable and yes, un-American.
I taught American government at UNLV, and protesting injustice has always been a part of our country’s story. These duly elected representatives should not have been expelled. Full stop.

It’s not complicated: Women deserve the right to make decisions about their own bodies.
That means the right to choose, and the right to make those decisions with her family and her doctor. Not the federal government.

Medicaid is the single largest payer for mental health services in the country. Too many of my Republican colleagues want to put it on the chopping block.
We need to expand coverage and lower costs, not threaten the care that so many rely on.
