For generations, LGBTQI+ Americans have summoned the courage to live proudly, even when it meant putting their lives at risk.

55 years ago at the Stonewall Inn in New York, brave LGBTQI+ individuals did just that and formed a movement that would transform our nation.

We face an inflection point in history.

But as I look around at the pride, hope, and light in our LGBTQI+ neighbors, I know it’s a moment we’ll meet together.

Today, my Administration stopped a 211-mile road from carving up a pristine area that Alaska Native communities rely on, in addition to steps we're taking to maintain protections on 28 million acres in Alaska from mining and drilling.

These natural wonders demand our protection.

Congressional Republicans have twice blocked my plan to hire thousands of Border Patrol Agents and CBP Officers, go after fentanyl and drug traffickers, and fix our broken immigration system.

I've done my job. Now Congress must do theirs.

This week, we celebrate the anniversary of the monumental marriage equality ruling of Obergefell v. Hodges.

This case moved our country forward, and was made possible because of the courageous couples and advocates in the LGBTQI+ community who fought for these hard-won rights.

I know that prices are still too high.

That’s why my Administration is working to lower costs by helping build more affordable housing and banning rental housing junk fees.

Average gas prices are now below $3.50, but they’re still too high.

My Administration is doing everything in our power to bring them down.

Folks, since I announced a series of actions to secure our border and address our broken immigration system, unlawful border crossings have dropped more than 40%.

That's what happens when you act to secure the border instead of using it as a political ploy.

Despite courage and sacrifice, thousands of LGBTQI+ service members were forced out of the military because of their sexual orientation or gender identity.

I'm using my clemency authority to pardon certain former service members who were convicted simply for being themselves.

My Bipartisan Safer Communities Act was designed to save lives. And I'm so proud of the progress it's made.

The year before I took office, the murder rate was a record high. Last year, it dropped at a historic rate and we saw one of the lowest rates of violent crime in 50 years.

Gun violence is an epidemic in this country. That’s why I'm doing everything in my power to strengthen background checks and keep guns out of the hands of those who seek to harm themselves or others.

It’s up to Congress to do its part by establishing universal background checks.

I’ve spent hours with Americans who have lost loved ones to gun violence, whose one hope is that these tragedies never happen again.

My Administration will never give up on the fight to end the scourge of gun violence – for the lives we’ve lost and the ones we can save.

The cost of one drug can be the difference between life and death.

I’m fighting to make lifesaving prescriptions more affordable, and accessible, for everyone.

Whether we’re Democrats or Republicans, we all want to drop our loved ones off at a house of worship or a school without worrying if it’s the last time we'll see them.

We all want our kids to have the freedom to learn to read and write without learning how to duck and cover.

It's time Republicans on the Hill and in state houses across America stopped playing politics with women’s lives and freedom.

Restore Roe.

And let doctors do their job.

In America today, women have fewer rights than their mothers and their grandmothers had because of my predecessor’s administration.

I am deeply disturbed by the reports of an attempted drowning of a 3-year old Palestinian-American at a neighborhood pool.

No child should ever be subjected to a violent attack, and my heart goes out to the family.

I'll keep doing everything I can to protect access to reproductive health care in the wake of the Dobbs decision, but let me be clear:

The only way to protect a woman’s health and rights is for Congress to pass a law that restores the protections of Roe v. Wade once and for all.

I’m appalled by the scenes outside of Adas Torah synagogue in Los Angeles. Intimidating Jewish congregants is dangerous, unconscionable, antisemitic, and un-American.

Americans have a right to peaceful protest. But blocking access to a house of worship – and engaging in violence – is never acceptable.

On that dark June day two years ago, the Supreme Court ripped away the Constitutional right to choose, and practically dared American women to be heard.

They didn't have a clue what they were in for.

Health care ought to be a right, not a privilege.

That starts with making care affordable for everyone.

For generations, LGBTQI+ Americans have lit the way with their joy and pride.

Our nation moves forward when we move together.

We can secure our border and provide legal pathways to citizenship.

We're America – we don't have to make a choice between the two.

I gave you my word that I was committed to righting our nation's failed approach to marijuana.

That's why at my request, HHS and DOJ have begun the process to recommend rescheduling marijuana from a Schedule I to a Schedule III drug – removing barriers to critical research.

No one who has been abused should have to worry about their abuser getting a gun.

As a result of this week's Supreme Court ruling, survivors of domestic violence and their families will still be able to count on critical protections, just as they have for the past three decades.

Summer has arrived at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Today, we mark a major milestone:

One million pensions protected from devastating cuts thanks to my American Rescue Plan.

Workers who earn their retirement should never see their benefits cut due to broken promises or policies that favor the wealthy over working families.

One year ago, the Equality Act was reintroduced in Congress.

As we celebrate Pride Month, we are reminded that the fight to codify civil rights protections for LGBTQI+ Americans is not over.

I call on Congress again to send this bill to my desk.

I’m working to bring child care costs down so moms and dads everywhere have more breathing room.

Donald Sutherland was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and one-of-a-kind actor who inspired and entertained the world for decades.

My thoughts are with his family and all those who loved him.

On World Refugee Day, the United States reaffirmed its commitment to the dignity and protection of refugees worldwide.

Here at home, we’re proud to have rebuilt the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program and will resettle more refugees this year than at any time in 30 years.

Thanks to my Administration's actions, the FBI has stopped hundreds of prohibited firearm sales for buyers under 21. And an estimated 20,000 unlicensed sellers are now required to get licensed and run background checks.

Now, Congress must establish universal background checks.

Higher education should be a ticket to a brighter future, not a barrier to opportunity.

We remember Willie Mays, a baseball legend and part of a long-line of Black patriots who have helped us see a better version of ourselves as Americans and as a nation.

Jill and I send our love to the Mays family, his adoring fans, and all those he will continue to inspire with his one-of-a-kind legacy.

I was proud to have made Juneteenth a federal holiday –

It was and will always be a testimony of and testament to the resilience of generations of Black Americans who led the march from slavery to freedom toward that more perfect union.

On June 19, 1865, freedom came for the 250,000 enslaved people of Texas.

That day would become known as Juneteenth, the mark of the end of our original sin, slavery, and the beginning of our work to make the promise of America real –

Not for some of us. But for all of us.

potus , to random

Juneteenth is a testament of how far this nation has come – and it reminds us that we have a hell of a lot more work to do.

Let’s keep marching.

Today, I’m announcing new measures to speed up work visas to help people – including Dreamers – who've graduated from U.S. colleges and universities land jobs in high-demand high-skilled professions.

It's good for business.
It's good for the economy.
It's good for America.

potus , to random

We are a better and stronger nation because of Dreamers.

Border security is not a political issue to weaponize – it’s a responsibility we all share.

So is immigration.

I’m not interested in playing politics with either.

I’m interested in fixing them.

Two weeks ago, I did what the Republicans in Congress refuse to do.

I took action to secure our border.

I restricted unlawful crossings and enabled quicker decisions on asylum – and since we implemented my order, border encounters have dropped about 25%.

Americans are sick of being played for suckers. I’m taking on price gouging to end hidden junk fees for good.

Today, I welcomed NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg ahead of next month's Washington Summit to discuss steps Allies are taking to support Ukraine, the executability of NATO’s defense plans, and a record 23 Allies reaching NATO’s defense spending threshold.

I spoke with Taoiseach Harris of Ireland today to congratulate him on his election and to deepen U.S.-Ireland cooperation.

We also discussed the importance of cybersecurity, the need to increase aid in Gaza, and preserving the gains of the Belfast/Good Friday Agreement.

Today and every day, we celebrate the fathers and father figures in our lives who guide us with support and inspire us to be our best selves.

Happy Father’s Day from my family to yours.
