Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

It's like watching myself as my coffee wears off. Like the anenome, I will be reduced to a squishy little donut once my caffeine tide recedes, and I might just squirt water at anyone who pokes me today, too.

Good morning! This is your reminder to support your local library! Get your card and see what resources you have access to from programs and events to seed libraries, maker spaces and digital resources. Libraries are more than *just* books. (Although books are very lovely!)
