Tom: My Alma Matter

Chabot College is a rambling series of academic buildings situated on 94 acres in Hayward, California. It offers more than 100 associate degrees and certificates, an intercollegiate national championship-winning ultimate disc team, and parking for a couple thousand cars. It's also my alma mater. Chabot's a community college -- and in the early 1970s, it was all free, save for the effort you put into it and the price of used textbooks. As a student there, I went to school alongside Vietnam vets, moms, and middle-aged men, as well as a few thousand young people like me who needed time to sort out our lives and our options. We were looking to get our general education requirements out of the way, to learn skill sets to improve our employment prospects, or to discover the road to new, unimagined careers. We all found a different home at Chabot, but it welcomed all of us. Later today, the President is heading to Watertown, South Dakota to deliver the commencement address a...

Chelsea: show the world how strong this team is

Friend -- My mom really counts on this team -- over and over again, you've come through for her because you know she is fighting for you, for us, and for the country we want to be. She's facing a critical fundraising deadline on Thursday at midnight, and it's more important than ever that we show the world how strong this team is and how much we believe in my mom. If you're with her, chip in right now -- and we'll send you a free sticker just to say thank you: Donate $1 Thanks, Chelsea

Huma Abedin: Where meaningful action begins

Robert, If you’ve ever left a conference wondering what now? — you’re not alone. That’s why I believe so deeply in the Clinton Global Initiative. At CGI, the conversations don’t end when the meeting does. They lead to real partnerships, real commitments, and lasting results. It's a space where people from all walks of life come together to share and take action. If you’re ready to move from intention to impact, I hope you’ll be part of CGI 2025. I’ve seen the power of CGI up close — not just in the headlines, but in the way it brings people together to deliver real solutions. Whether it’s expanding access to health care, advancing gender equity, or mobilizing resources in response to crisis, CGI helps turn shared purpose into measurable progress. That kind of work doesn’t happen by accident. It happens because people show up, bring their full selves, and commit to doing the hard work together. This September, we’ll come together again in N...

Mikie: We are tied 43 to 43 in New Jersey, I need Black Independents support.

Every single day since he took office in January, it seems like Donald Trump has found new ways to abuse his power and make life harder for our families. He’s illegally withheld funding that New Jerseyans rely on for child care, for health care, and for access to healthy food. He’s deployed the National Guard to American cities in a transparent attempt to instill terror and fear. He signed a devastating spending bill that guts Medicaid access and makes everything from groceries to heating your home less affordable — all to give billionaires a giant tax cut. And honestly, that’s just a fraction of it. As Trump has inflicted all this damage on our country, Republican politicians like Jack Ciattarelli have cheered him on every step of the way. There is seemingly nothing Trump can do — no matter how illegal, reckless, or outright devastating for New Jersey families — that would make Jack Ciattarelli say “enough is enough.” And , polls show that Ciattarelli is within a few percentage p...

BIP: United States Adjustments to ISIS

United States Adjustments to ISIS CJA/454 Robert L. Gilyard September 2, 2014 Gary Howard United States Adjustment to ISIS This paper is an analysis on ISIS terrorism and how the American criminal justice system can adapt to the rising trend of terror. Suggestions to change the situation, proposed changes, positive, and negative effect of the change examination. Explanation and proposed usage of criminal justice management support, financial, training, and human resources tools available to combat terrorism. Situation: ISIS ISIS is a new organization with origination from 2006’s Islamic State of Iraq (ISI). The disbanding of Al-Qaeda organizations and other terror groups combined their resources and financial avenues into a new terror group called ISIS. They are not a new organization; it is a combination of the failed ones. The American media outlets are aiding in their emphasis on image terror. Using Bin Laden’s terror playbook and how he used video and random acts of ter...

Ted: President Obama just called out Rob Portman

Robert, President Obama just called out Rob Portman directly. During a local Ohio TV interview, President Obama urged Sen. Portman to fulfill his constitutional responsibility and grant Judge Merrick Garland a fair hearing and an up or down vote -- and said the fact that Republicans like Portman are not calling for a hearing or a vote means they’re not doing their job. I couldn't agree more with the president: It’s time for Portman and his Republican colleagues in the Senate to do their job. Republicans like Portman are backing up Mitch McConnell and Ted Cruz and threatening to delay for over a year so President Obama can't fulfill his responsibility. It's a shame. It's an affront to our Constitution. And leaving the Supreme Court one justice short for over a year will have terrible consequences for our country. That's why I need you to sign my petition calling on Rob Portman to do his job and confirm President Obama's nominee. Join me and the 30,227 strong te...

Michael: March for Climate, Jobs, and Justice on April 29

Robert l., The March for Climate, Jobs, and Justice on April 29 is an opportunity for us to show solidarity with each other in the fight for a clean environment and fair economy. Too often, those seeking to block our progress try to pit jobs against safe workplaces and a clean environment. We know that’s a false choice. We know we can have economic prosperity, environmental justice and equity for all people if we take the right actions now to address climate change, reduce income inequality, fight for racial justice, and safeguard the rights of all people. We’re going to the March for Climate, Jobs and Justice to show our support for taking action on climate and creating and sustaining good jobs by doing so. Join us at the March for Climate, Jobs and Justice. Union members, environmentalists, people of faith and community leaders will be there to show the solidarity that exists between all of us to have both a strong, fair ...

John: tremendously valuable services to society.

Hi again, everyone -- Thanks for the great input you've been sharing. Thousands of you have weighed in over the past several days on which scientific topics you'd like to hear more about. As you may have seen, my last message featured an image from the Hubble Space Telescope showcasing the densest-known cluster of stars in the Milky Way -- and reminding us just how expansive our universe really is. But there's beauty (and science) in the small things, too. It's National Pollinator Week, so I thought I'd share a few incredible close-ups of bees by U.S. Geological Survey bee expert Sam Droege. Scroll down for some scientific facts about bees -- and be sure you're watching the OSTP Twitter account around 1 p.m. ET , when we'll be featuring live footage from the beehive on the White House South Lawn via Periscope. In addition to being beautiful, in their own way, bees are pretty incredible creatures. The "buzz" associated with honeyb...

Al: won't be easy

Dear Robert, What if there was a magic button that could overturn Citizens United , get the word “SuperPAC” out of our national vocabulary, and drive shady money out of our political system forever? Wouldn’t you push the heck out of that button? Me, too. But there’s no such button. All we can do is fight as hard as we can to limit the influence of big money -- and one important step we can take is passing the DISCLOSE Act, a bill that would force special interest groups to tell us who’s funding their political activities. There’s no button we can push to make the DISCLOSE Act law. But there is a link you can click: Click here to join us in calling on Congress to pass the DISCLOSE Act now! In the end, what we really need is a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United once and for all. But that’s an uphill battle. And the DISCLOSE Act would be an important first step up that hill. Requiring that special interest groups reveal where they get thei...

Mark: out of state billionaires

Robert, We had another strong performance at the debate tonight in Fayetteville. Once again, we showed where Tom Cotton's priorities lie: With the out-of-state billionaires bankrolling his campaign. This year, his backers have spent over $20 million trying to buy this election. Why? Because they know they can count on Tom Cotton. That's the difference in this race. I listen to you and he listens to the billlionaires. But we can't rest on our laurels with tonight's victory. I need you to commit vote, and I need you to commit to vote early. The polls show this race is a dead heat, and we'll need a strong turnout to ensure victory. Click here to commit to vote. Thank you so much for your support. Now let's go win this thing. Mark Pryor

Jon: elevate the voices of veterans

robert - Since we started our campaign to elevate the voices of veterans who support a diplomacy-first approach with Iran, over 20,000 men and women who have worn our country's uniform have added their names in support. Today, I want to share a few of their stories with you, and to let you know that in the next few weeks, we're going to be flying almost two dozen veterans and military family members out the nation's capital to make their voices heard loud and clear. Contribute $3 to help VoteVets bring these veterans to Washington, D.C. to lobby the Democratic representatives we need to hold the line ahead of the vote on the Iran deal later this month. Dennis, an Operation Enduring Freedom Veteran (Afghanistan) wrote in that "The alternative is an eventual war, again, in the Middle East." Matt, an Iraq War Veteran from Colorado added, "Based on my experience in Iraq, I feel that diplomacy is a better path than military action in southwest Asia ... Vo...

the most competitive governor's races in the country

Black Independent party, Your support has always meant so much to me. From my time in the state legislature to my time in the governor's office and everything in between, your support is crucial. I know you received a lot of emails over the last week, but I wanted to say: Thank you. This month, we saw a surge in donations, and because of you, we not only hit our July fundraising goal, we surpassed it. While we take a moment to celebrate our good news, we have to remain focused on our goals. I'm afraid our opponents will attack us even harder if we step off the gas now. So this month, it's even more important that we keep our eyes on the road ahead and hit every single goal we set. Black Independent party, this re-election campaign is only beginning. Our race is shaping up to be one of the most competitive governor's races in the country, and it's going to stay that way until the end. We're hyper-focused on starting this month on the right foot. Will you help ...

There’s no other way to say it. Today is a big day.

It’s the day we officially celebrate breaking ground on the Obama Presidential Center. And we wouldn’t be here without the unwavering support of people like you—people who donated, volunteered, shared stories, and supported our vision all along the way. Of course, our work has never been just about a building. We are dedicated to helping community leaders develop the skills they need and build the relationships that will empower them to change the world. That’s why President and Mrs. Obama took a moment yesterday, as part of our groundbreaking celebrations, to sit down with the latest cohort of Obama Foundation Scholars from the University of Chicago. This inspiring group is working to increase diversity in Chicago’s technology sector, support women entrepreneurs in India, promote arts education that revitalizes neighborhoods, and much more. We’re just getting started. There are wonderful things in store for the Obama Presidential Center and the young leaders it will s...

Michelle: I have seen up close what it means to be president

Friend -- I just left the stage at the Democratic National Convention, where I spoke about why I believe Hillary Clinton should be president. It was truly an honor to speak on her behalf. She is a devoted public servant, a passionate advocate for children and families, and a strong, experienced leader whom I trust with the overwhelming responsibilities of the presidency. And I am proud of the history she will make -- and the example she will set for my daughters, and all our sons and daughters -- as she breaks that highest, hardest glass ceiling. But that will only happen if every single one of us does everything we can between now and November to support Hillary. Now that she’s the nominee and we know who she’s up against, none of us can sit on the sidelines. Chip in right now. I have seen up close what it means to be president -- how you live every moment on a knife’s edge, dealing with the most complex, consequential issues imaginable. We need a leader with the ...

Patrick: America and Israel share an unbreakable bond.

Friends, When it comes to taking a position on any bill, Floridians know my promise: I will listen to them, I will listen to my conscience, and I will deeply study what’s on my desk before making a decision. The past few weeks, the proposal on my desk has been the nuclear deal with Iran. I have to say, this has been the toughest decision of my career in Congress. After listening to arguments on both sides, carefully reviewing all the materials, and soliciting answers from both supporters and opponents, I have reached a decision. A nuclear Iran would be an unacceptable threat to America and Israel. As a nation, we must always keep all options on the table. But before we place our Armed Forces in harm’s way, I feel I owe it to all Floridians -- especially our servicemembers -- to exhaust all other courses of action. The deal we have is flawed. But it is also the best available option to stop the development of a nuclear weapon in Iran. Make no mistake -- Iran will remain a foe of Am...
