🏛️ Institute of Museum and Library Services cuts are putting America’s public libraries at risk.

Public libraries are essential infrastructure in every American community. IMLS must continue to honor appropriated and statutory programs and grants—as Congress intended.

The Milwaukee Bar Association's poll shows that Judge Crawford exceeds expectations on judicial temperament, impartiality, and integrity.

In the poll, Judge Crawford handily leads Schimel in every category, while attorneys raise serious flags about Brad Schimel’s judgment.

once again, every accusation is a confession. republicans spent 15 years accusing democrats of winning elections by trading cash for votes. now, here we are.
If you don't want to see this horrible garbage happen in every future high-stakes election, make sure it demonstrably fails in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race by helping elect Susan Crawford

Reminder, corporate America does not have the patience or money to invest in long-term (more than 3 years) research of any kind.

Without government grants to academic labs, we lose all of our long-term, low probability, but highest impact, innovation.

President Trump's executive order to eliminate the Institute of Museum & Library Services would have disastrous effects for communities nationwide. We call on all Americans who value reading & learning to reach out to their elected leaders.

We'll have more to share in the coming days. But what can you do right now? Call Congress. Call your state and local officials. Tell them exactly what's at stake if the President's order stands: the future of America's libraries.

JD Vance is crying again. This time, he claims he and his daughter were “confronted” by pro-Ukraine protesters while walking near his home. Sounds dramatic, right? Except the video tells a different story. Let’s smite his lies.

Leadership is doubling down, but GOP members are getting nervous about the budget’s extreme unpopularity.

You can call your Representative now at 202-224-3121.
Looks like tomorrow will bring votes on a Republican plan to fund tax cuts for the rich by slashing Medicaid.

So this is a great time to contact your Member of Congress.
