Every book published in the United States is sent to the Library of Congress. Also, if you are under 16 you cannot use the reading room or order books.
Reporter: The president fired the Librarian of Congress. Why?
Leavitt: There were quite concerning things she had done at the Library of Congress in the pursuit of DEI and putting inappropriate books in the library for children.

Trump’s fascist attack on Due Process has just prompted another eloquent and blistering takedown by a Reagan-nominated pillar of the conservative judicial establishment. Thank you, Judge Wilkinson, for showing what a real judge sounds like.

On April 16, 1862, Lincoln signed the DC Compensated Emancipation Act, ending slavery in the capital & freeing 3,000+ people, months before the Emancipation Proclamation. It paid slaveholders for the slaves that were freed. 126 days to Slavery Remembrance Day. #CountDowntoSRD

This.
Either the courts get to decide who is a “violent criminal” or “gang member”, or Donald Trump gets to decide.
That choice determines whether we are a Republic governed by laws or an autocracy living under a ruler.

One of the greatest comebacks in NCAA basketball history was led last night by Kelvin Sampson, a member of the Lumbee, an Indigenous and Black North Carolina tribe. His father helped fight off the Klan in the Battle of Hayes Pond. He’s the first Native coach to ever go to Final Four. DEI, baby! ✊🏽

Trump harping on making Canada the 51st state, is also insulting to the residents of D.C. a city w/o representation (but where the pop. is higher than that of Wyoming).
The 51st state is right there. Ah but Canada, Trump & Miller think, will help forestall the demographic changes they fear.

How Congress Could Force $1.1 Billion in Cuts on Washington, D.C.
District leaders say that a proposed cut to the city budget, part of a plan to avert a federal government shutdown, is unfair. The city raises most of its own money but cannot control how it is spent.

It is unclear what additional avenues remain for D.C. to advocate for a reversal of the cuts as the bill heads to the Senate.
