Here's my message to young people: you wouldn't let a bunch of old people decide what music you're going to listen to or what clothes you're going to wear – so don't let them decide your future. Make a plan to vote today: IWillVote.com/Obama

We celebrated 3 amazing media specialists who have or are retiring. We gathered at #ElTapatioMexicanRestaurant in Orlando, had great conversation, delicious food, and wished Katie Lopas, Mary O'Dell, and Rosemary Lipman each a wonderful next chapter in their retirement! @CDLocps

It goes without saying that I prefer a President who isn't being indicted for ANY criminal trials, let alone a trial involving hush money paid to cover up extramarital sex with a porn star. But, let me just add that I ALSO prefer a President who doesn't need to be forced, with a GAG ORDER, not to threaten or attack witnesses and members of the court, because that is just common sense. But let me ALSO add that I prefer a President who doesn't have to be forced through an additional gag order NOT to attack the daughter of a sitting judge, because... are we fucking kidding here? WHAT DECENT PERSON ATTACKS SOMEONE ELSE'S DAUGHTER??? In the street, a different set of rules apply. Under threat of jail...you STILL attack?!? There is no more bar to lower; it's been completely lowered out of existence. There is no excuse for that behavior. It's the kind of thing you expect to have to tell wild thug teenagers who grew up in a broken home, without parents, who never learned right from wrong. You don't expect that from a former President, who is running to get his job back. Every once in a while, we need to pump the brakes on the insanity of these news cycles, which move from outrage to outrage without giving us a chance to absorb how truly fucked up these things are. It's completely insane that trump is the GOP frontrunner for President. It's completely insane that someone lacking impulse control is being considered to be in charge of nukes. It's completely insane that he's not in jail already. Let's defeat that degenerate jackass so the DOJ can put him away for the rest of his miserable life.
