Big heart energy 💚
I’d give this 10 ⭐️ out of 5 if I could. Absolutely ordering a hard copy. I highly recommend listening to the audiobook because the author narrates it.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

The IRS Free File pilot program helped 140K taxpayers save $5.6M in tax filing costs in 2024.

The program was supposed to be expanded, but now Trump is looking to gut it.

This is a huge handout to the tax prep industry that has lobbied for years to prevent free tax filing.

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right.

The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter.

Everyone must choose which side they’re on. Now.

This fight will not be easy. 

What we're dealing with now is one of the worst stress tests our nation has ever endured.

But I believe that we will survive. 

Do not descend into despair.

In 2016, Dr. Carla Hayden was sworn in as the 14th Librarian of Congress, our National Librarian. She is the first woman and first African American to lead the national library. She is library joy! Dr. Carla Hayden has always sought to bring the wonders of the library into everyone’s lives.

Republicans have introduced a bill to abolish OSHA.

As a former labor secretary, I know firsthand how crucial this agency is to protecting workers from bosses who cut corners on safety to pad their own pockets.

This is the party of corporate greed, not the party of workers.

When Congressman John Lewis was a child, he tried to get a library card. He was turned away & told “The Library is not for coloureds” 💔

He’s a civil rights icon, lover of books, recipient of the National Book Award for Young People’s Literature.

“The Library IS for Everyone” 💚

there is a very specific name for the type of person who’d think holocaust remembrance day is “woke”. i wish i could recall what that is.
Intelligence officials are starting to leak to me now too. Here’s a memo Defense Intelligence Agency personnel received instructing them to suspend observances including:
