Read Former President Bill Clinton's Tweets
On this 4th of July, I'm hopeful that we continue to work on and build upon the ideals of equality and freedom, expanding the definition of "Us" and shrinking the definition of "Them." How we respond to this moment in time may define what our country is like for a very long time.

I am proud to join the #TipYourCap2020 campaign in honor of the centennial of the Negro Leagues and the talented men and women who played in them from 1920 through 1960. The Negro Leagues made baseball better and America better.
I loved Steve Bing very much. He had a big heart, and he was willing to do anything he could for the people and causes he believed in. I will miss him and his enthusiasm more than I can say, and I hope he’s finally found peace.
America’s greatest strength is our diversity. This week’s Supreme Court rulings protecting LGBTQ+ rights in the workplace and blocking the termination of DACA have made America better, fairer, and stronger.
Juneteenth is both a remembrance and, particularly this year, a reminder that the journey toward true equality and justice is far from over. The millions of people across the country demanding change have brought new hope to a very old fight. We must keep pushing.
No one deserves to die the way George Floyd did. And the truth is, if you’re white in America, the chances are you won’t. That truth is what underlies the pain and the anger that so many are feeling and expressing.

Losing Open Skies is a major blow to international arms control efforts. One more critical line of communication with Russia closed. One less opportunity to prevent disaster before it happens. They will come for New START next, opening the floodgates to a new nuclear arms race.
Bill and I were saddened to hear of the passing of Wilson Roosevelt Jerman at the age of 91 from COVID-19. Jerman served as a White House butler across 11 presidencies and made generations of first families feel at home, including ours. Our warmest condolences to his loved ones.

Happy Mother’s Day!
Happy Mother's Day to these two mothers dearest to my heart. 🌸
Little Richard was a great talent and a big part of my childhood so it was an honor when he played at my inauguration in 1993. His music influenced countless musicians and we still feel it today. I will miss him and his unforgettable charisma.

We will get through this difficult time and our steadfast commitment to helping each other in ways big and small will be a big reason why.
Today, @ClintonCenter served its 250,000th meal to children, families, and people in need. This could not have happened without dedicated staff, volunteers, and partners like @WCKitchen, @CityLittleRock, and local school districts. I am deeply grateful to all of them.
