This is going to kill many public libraries, especially in rural areas. If you use a public library, you will be impacted. #imls is a dust mote in the federal budget. It also provides things like internet at your local library so people can apply for jobs and kids can do homework.
This, by the by, is an effing disaster if it holds up. The number of public libraries that will go under if IMLS is shuttered is mind-boggling. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...
Continuing the Reduction of the Federal Bureaucracy

NEW: During a 3-hour preliminary injunction hearing in a suit alleging that Elon Musk wields unprecedented power in violation of the Appointments Clause, a federal judge grew frustrated with government counsel's inability to answer questions about DOGE’s chain of command and Musk's role.
![JUDGE: Who was the head of DOGE before Amy Gleason?
GOVERNMENT COUNSEL: I can’t answer that, I don’t know.
JUDGE: I mean, that seems like a knowable fact, doesn’t it?
GOVERNMENT COUNSEL: I’m sure it is knowable; I just don’t know it. I’m very conscious of being accurate with the court…I just can’t make a representation.
JUDGE: Have you asked anyone?
GOVERNMENT COUNSEL: I have not asked…actually, strike that. I have asked previously, and I was not able to get answer.
JUDGE: Are you saying there was an administrator before Ms. Gleason? Or that there was nobody until this new person [Gleason] was put in?
GOVERNMENT COUNSEL: I’m not saying either, because I don’t know.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:t4x2ruk2qmob2b2cx55h4v7r/bafkreic3k7xhk3l2hgbwbfnwv7exmw3hq2buhout5qjxgt2iyuelzvuzv4@jpeg)

A nap reminds, so soft, so true,
That we must care for skies of blue,
For oceans deep and mountains wide,
For lands where creatures still reside.
So close your eyes, and let it be,
A nap of peace for you and me.
In every rest, we find our role—
To nurture earth and heal its soul.
That we must care for skies of blue,
For oceans deep and mountains wide,
For lands where creatures still reside.
So close your eyes, and let it be,
A nap of peace for you and me.

Poem of the day
In the quiet shade where shadows play,
A nap unfolds at the close of day.
Beneath the trees with leaves so green,
The world feels soft, and all serene.

This animal is on the edge of extinction. Trump just fired the people trying to save it.
Job cuts and frozen funding could inch one of the world’s rarest species even closer to extinction.
