On National Dachshund Day I want to recognize my #dachshund Reese. My heart and soul dog who brings me so much love and joy and can absolutely destroy me at the same time. She has been through so much - meningitis, and recently a bee sting that led to anaphylactic shock and UTI.

President Trump's executive order to eliminate the Institute of Museum & Library Services would have disastrous effects for communities nationwide. We call on all Americans who value reading & learning to reach out to their elected leaders.
