Interlibrary loans suspended in South Dakota.

Without federal library funding, libraries across the state may be forced to halt or charge for sharing books—a service vital to students, families, and rural communities.

You’ll be seeing a lot more of this in the next few weeks.

IMLS and Federal Funding for libraries allowed libraries to make discounted purchase of databases, resources, digital content, and much more.

Good people are so tired of traitors masquerading as patriots,
of the treasonous continually waving the flag,
of hateful people peddling a God of love,
of human beings with no empathy pretending they care about the sanctity of life.

The Trump regime and DOGE are rolling out this playbook to attack Social Security — one of the most popular and effective government programs.

They're deliberately sabotaging it by firing SSA workers and cutting services.

Why? Because they don't want it to work.

Trump commits felonies.

There are no consequences.

In just a few short weeks, Donald Trump is doing to America what he did to the Taj Mahal. He’ll leave the former like he did the latter: bankrupt and crumbling, without giving a damn about the people whose lives he ruined or the suffering left in his wake.

He Bankrupted His Casino. Now He's Bankrupting Our Country.
Throughout three presidential campaigns, people who’ve voted for Donald Trump have repeatedly have said they’ve so, in part, because he was a “successful businessman.”

This is simply incredible:
Christiane Amanpour said reports indicate that the Trump regime reached out to opposition leaders in Ukraine to try to get them to challenge Zelensky, and they said no.
This is election interference at best - like trying to start a coup! He is following Putin’s playbook!

The fundamental choice has not been as stark since World War II: democracy and freedom, or dictatorship and tyranny.

Trump and his sycophants are siding with the latter. The rest of us must loudly, proudly, and boldly proclaim our allegiance to the former.

Yay!! A federal judge in California sided with a coalition of unions, temporarily barring the Office of Personnel Management from ordering federal agencies to terminate probationary workers, stating that the firings were ‘illegal, should be stopped, and rescinded.’

Elon Musk claims DOGE has saved $55 billion, but the numbers don’t add up. DOGE released a list of canceled contracts totaling $16 billion in supposed savings. However, nearly half of that came from an $8 billion ICE contract—except that contract was actually worth just $8 million.

Donald Trump is selling out our seniors to Elon Musk.

He is handing over control to sensitive Social Security information to an UNELECTED billionaire.

Is Trump too weak to tell Musk no?

Is he using Musk to cut Social Security so he doesn't have to take the blame?

I've been writing BLOOD IN THE MACHINE for months, but I was on the fence about going all-in. Recent events have made the call easier.
