The CDC Library plays an important role in providing our public health professionals with access to the best information.

Without them, CDC employees will lose access to information and resources in an outbreak.

PETITION: Don't Ban Books in the United States
Proposed censorship measures in several states could deny your right to read some books in our Nation's libraries and lead to librarians facing criminal charges for the books on the shelves.

On May 2, 2025, the Trump Administration released its FY2026 federal budget proposal.

On page 39 he calls for the complete elimination of the only federal agency dedicated solely to supporting America’s libraries and museums.

Senator Cory Booker has now beaten Ted Cruz' record for a speech on the Senate floor (21 hours and 19 minutes) in 2013.

Way to go, Cory!!!!!!

Next up: Senator Wayne Morse of Oregon who lasted 22 hours and 26 minutes in 1953.

And only 3 hours to beat Strom Thurman's all-time record!

Keep going!

20 hours. Booker is amazing and unstoppable
"I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America, because that speaks to our greatness" -- 20 hours into his speech, Cory Booker is spitting absolute 🔥

The Trump Administration has slashed billions of dollars from programs to prevent infectious disease and address the substance use crisis - including in Illinois. I sent a letter to Secretary Kennedy calling on him to reverse these cuts that threaten the health and safety of our communities.

Take action today!

Statement on IMLS Staff Administrative Leave
IMLS is responsible for distributing Federal Funding for libraries. This action will interrupt IMLS's vital, congressionally funded work. We cannot allow IMLS to be dismantled by executive action.

The worst person in the world just keeps getting worst.
Donald Trump has illegally invoked The Alien Enemies Act of 1798, a wartime authority, to detain and deport Venezuelan immigrants he deems to be members of criminal gang Tren de Aragua.

This was last invoked during WWII to justify the internment of Japanese-Americans.
