Watch and share widely.

We have ten times as many billionaires as we had in 1990. When I look around, I do not see a state of Maine that is ten times wealthier than it was in 1990.

Watching videos of the burning Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra after a Russian attack hurts. It feels awful, like somebody is twisting a knife in my guts. And you know why? Is it because of the Lavra's significance for Ukraine? Yes, but not only that. It’s because Russia is allowed to destroy our churches, our language, our museums, our artists. They are allowed to try and erase us in every way possible, and they've been doing it for years, decades, hell, for centuries! And all this time, the world just watches.

Russia is a terrorist state.

This is how the Scottish conquer lands … no fighting, no death just traffic cones on statues

Russia bombed the Dovzhenko Film Studio in Kyiv overnight, destroying Ukraine's largest costume archive, roughly 100,000 costumes and 3 million clothing items, built up over decades of Ukrainian filmmaking history. Gone. This wasn't incidental. It's part of a pattern of strikes on Ukrainian cultural sites, alongside this week's hit on the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, that target memory and identity, not just infrastructure. I hope the international film community responds loudly. And I'd add this: after four years of full-scale war, some Western festivals are quietly making room again for Russian films and "Russian perspectives." Whatever the intent, gestures toward neutrality in this context don't read as balance, they read as normalization.

John Prevost, the pope’s older brother, rang from Chicago with a computer problem — because Bob, as the family still calls him, has always been the one who fixes these things. “John, I’m the pope,” Leo reminded him. The reply came without a pause: “Oh, sorry pope. My computer is broken.” thelettersfromleo.com/p/john…

I step into a cafe where I work some mornings. Hadn’t read the news yet. The barista is Ukrainian. My friendly ‘morning!’ is met with a weak smile. I know what it means. ‘What happened?’ ‘Pechersk Lavra is burning.’ Imagine waking every morning to the dread of finding out who Russia has killed, what Russia has destroyed in the night. Every day, for over four years. I’ll say here what I said to her: this is Russia losing. Blind rage and destruction because they have no viable strategy, no path to victory. It doesn’t make this any better, it doesn’t bring lost loved ones or national treasures back. But it is true. Fascist Russia will destroy itself. And Ukraine will survive, will win, will rebuild. You are not alone.

Flood the timeline with Michelle Obama. Michelle Obama earned degrees from Princeton and Harvard Law, served as First Lady, became a bestselling author, and inspired millions around the world. Today, WE post Michelle Obama.

The Dormition Cathedral in Kyiv, which was attacked by the Russians today, is older than Notre-Dame in Paris. Its foundation stone was laid in 1073, and construction was completed in 1078. Construction of Notre-Dame did not begin until nearly a century later—in 1163. The French cathedral was restored following the fire thanks to a major international campaign that raised one billion euros in donations. The reconstruction was funded by major entrepreneurs, corporations, municipal authorities, and hundreds of thousands of private individuals. And how will the world now respond to this Russian terror?

We have sacrificed trillions of dollars and tens of thousands of American lives in a series of Middle East wars, and all we've accomplished is making some executives at Raytheon and Lockheed Martin very, very rich.

This is one of the most important churches in Ukraine. The Russians would not strike it by accident. Putin is deliberately attacking Christianity, history, culture

The Great Church of the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, as seen last Christmas. The very one that the Russians tried to destroy last night. There was a time of severe electricity shortages… but there was a lot of light within.

It was great joining Njideka Akunyili Crosby — a gifted Nigerian-born, Los Angeles-based artist — to unveil our first portrait together. This piece reflects so many chapters of Michelle and my story, and we’re thrilled that it will be on display in the Hope and Change lobby at the Obama Presidential Center starting this Juneteenth.

Listen, if this is what it takes to get Scottish fans to stick around for a while after the World Cup...

The Obamas unveil their first-ever commissioned portrait together, painted by Njideka Akunyili Crosby, in the lobby of the new Obama Presidential Library.

This was the most fun I’ve had at Fenway in more than a decade. Tartan Army, please come back soon.
