Congratulations to Truman Project alumna Amara “Mari” Manoogian on being selected as a 2026–2027 @ObamaFoundation USA Leader! Mari is doing exciting work as Executive Director of @Thenext50Us, and we’re proud to see her leadership recognized. Congrats, @MariManoogian!
I'm honored and thrilled to share that I have been selected as an Obama Leader for the 2026–2027 @ObamaFoundation's USA Program! I was drawn to the program's emphasis on growth, pluralism, & long-arc change, & to a cohort committed to building collective power across differences.

From the #midterms to America’s role abroad, @ChangePolls gave Truman members a tailored briefing on what voters are thinking—and the chance to question the pollsters behind the findings. Here’s one national security takeaway from the briefing. #OnlyAtTruman

Service means accountability. American servicemembers must be held to the highest standard of conduct. We fully support @AfghanEvac and @ChamberlainVets's amicus brief in A.A. and F.A. v. Mast, No. 26-164.
We filed at the U.S. Supreme Court yesterday.
An Afghan child was orphaned in the war. Her relatives raised her. A Marine judge advocate obtained a Virginia adoption order in proceedings they never knew existed.
No family should lose a child that way.

"Jessica has spent her entire professional career serving this country and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts...She is the type of principled leader we need in office, and we are proud to endorse her.” - Kelly Dietrich, CEO, Truman National Security Project
I am proud to be endorsed by the Truman National Security Project. Their commitment to national security and those who serve aligns deeply with my own experience. I’m ready to work to strengthen veterans’ services, support local Veterans Service Officers, and improve care access.

The problem with war is not that it began at an inconvenient time for politicians like @KenPaxton. It is that war carries enormous human costs, like the 18 service members killed in action so far. Responsible leaders need to take decisions about war and peace seriously. #Iran

Truman Project retweeted
This morning we asked @StateDeptSpox @TommyPigott to correct a false statement about the Afghans at Camp As Sayliyah.
A few hours later we corrected a sentence in our own letter and sent the Department the revised version.
Here is what changed and why.

Surrounded by the Taliban, an Afghan ally asked Truman member @shawnjvandiver to help his family reach safety.
That request helped spark #AfghanEvac, now a coalition of 250+ groups working to keep America’s promise to Afghan allies.

The President posted this morning: "A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again."
That is a threat of collective punishment. Under the law of armed conflict, it is unlawful.
Our EVP wrote about this today.
