Sadly, CDC’s vaccine recommendations are guided by conspiracy theories, not science. Today’s vote puts lives at risk, especially children’s.
For families with a baby on the way: please speak with your pediatrician about how best to protect your child from Hepatitis B and preventable illnesses.

E-book contracts are totally out of control. Regulations are the only way to ensure libraries have a diverse and accessible collection. Until legislation reflects reality, libraries will be priced out of a robust e-media collection.

I salute the 600 Naval Academy grads who released a letter condemning Trump's book bans at the Academy.
At this week's Board meeting, I moved to reverse the ban & made clear I won’t give up the fight. Are we really afraid to have midshipmen read Maya Angelou’s “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings”?

Everyone is talking about Trump declaring himself Kings. Meanwhile I haven’t forgotten Kash Patel, who just became the director of our FBI today, wrote a children’s picture book entitled, The Plot Against King with Trump as the main character. A book for children.

All vaccines cause side effects in a small population of people. Anti-vaxxers continue to use this as a reasonable argument against vaccines.
In reality, people who experience side effects should be the biggest advocate for others being vaccinated so we can provide them herd immunity. #vaccinations

In a small number of people, Covid-19 vaccines caused side effects referred to as “post-vaccination syndrome,” according to a new small study. The research found that patients with this syndrome were more likely to experience reactivation of Epstein-Barr virus.

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.
