133 Ballots were cast. 16 Teams Remain. The Romance/Romantasy conference leading in entries, lost a number of key matchups. The Sports conference won big in the week’s most hotly contested match-up with LeBron James just sneaking ahead of the dystopian Scythe with a final vote of 313 to 309.

Sobbing listening to @ibramxk.bsky.social at #MiddleGradeMagic. To paraphrase: This isn't a new fight. Draw your inspiration from the librarians during slavery and the civil rights. The movement would not have been what it was if Dr. King hadn't had access to books on abolition and the like.

Friendly reminder: there’s plenty of time left to claim up to $1,750 per child with our nation-leading Child Tax Credit.
Last year, we put over $550 million into the pockets of nearly 225,000 families.
Don’t leave money on the table, Minnesota.

At least $12 *trillion* from global oligarchs is hidden offshore in secret tax havens worldwide. And it is headquartered right here in the USA.
Instead of cutting lifesaving programs like the VA, Medicaid, and food stamps, we should be cracking down on tax havens for the ultra-rich.
