Former President Barack Obama said that to make progress in resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, individuals must recognize the intricate nature of the situation. Obama stated in an interview on the Pod Save America podcast that if people want to take constructive action, they must acknowledge that there are seemingly contradictory truths about the situation – one can condemn Hamas’ actions while also recognizing the unbearable circumstances the Palestinians face due to the occupation. These remarks were made amid the Israeli military’s campaign against Hamas in Gaza City and the northe...

The federal government banned the sale of almost all incandescent lightbulbs. The measure took effect immediately. The work on the ban began almost a decade ago when former President George W. Bush signed the Energy Independence and Security Act into law in 2007. Though it did not ban the sale of the bulbs, it did require that they used between 40 and 100 watts of electricity to gradually become more energy efficient. Before he left office in 2017, former President Barack Obama authorized stricter regulation around certain types of incandescent lightbulbs. Donald Trump, however, stripped these...

Raphael Warnock in Georgia, former President Barack Obama mocked Herschel Walker — the Republican challenger for the state’s Senate seat — over his embarrassing speech about werewolves and vampires. “Since the last time I was here Mr. Walker has been talking about issues that are of great importance to the people of Georgia. Like whether it’s better to be a vampire or a werewolf,” Obama told a crowd in Atlanta on Thursday. “This is a debate that I must confess I once had myself. When I was seven. Then I grew up,” he added. In a rally last month, Walker told...

Obama’s office announced earlier this week that the former president will travel to Atlanta to campaign alongside Warnock on Dec. 1, the first day of early in-person voting.

Since former President Barack Obama left office in 2017, there are still some aspects of his role as president he misses. The one he doesn’t miss is the “hoopla” that the job entails. During an interview with The Today Show’s Al Roker to promote his new Netflix documentary series, Our Great National Parks, Obama said, “there’s nothing that compares to the privilege and the honor of serving the American people in the highest office in the land.” After his presidency, Obama said, “we’re finding that we can be really productive, contributing citizens in all kinds of other ways.” Some of these way...

Earlier this year, as Congress debated President Joe Biden‘s landmark infrastructure legislation, Chairman of the House Budget Committee John Yarmuth (D-Kentucky) predicted that Republicans would vote against the final bill and then take credit for the benefits it provides to their constituents. GOP lawmakers did precisely that after former President Barack Obama signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (a.k.a. Obamacare) into law in 2009 and after Biden inked his signature onto the American Rescue Plan earlier this year – all of whic...
