Stop. Treating. This. Seriously.
The White House is doubling down on President Trump's promise to deliver $5,000 checks to American adults.
Here's how it's supposed to work.

This is so bizarre. A politician telling you her vision for America is that you’ll have to work when you’re sick and die young, orphaning your kids. Please vote for @drannieandrews.com
these people booing sound like literal sheep as Darline Graham criticizes Dr. Annie Andrews for supporting "government-run healthcare" before bragging of her parents that "if they were sick, they had to get up and go to work...my mother passed away when I was 11 and my father just over a year later"

I recommend to you this podcast series about Dolly Parton by Jad Abumrad (creator of Radio Lab). You may ask: how did a MacArthur Award winning pub radio guy meet Dolly? Because she personally funded his father's vaccine research, that's how.

The Library is devastated to learn of the passing of Dolly Parton, a music legend and titan of children's literacy. Her Imagination Library program has earned multiple Library Literacy Awards and, in 2018, she visited us to donate its 100 millionth book to our collection and host a story time. 🦋❤️

The deadly Cyclospora outbreak, it turns out, is just another Trump corruption story. A big donor gets a favor. And causes a massive public health crisis.

The CLARITY Act is the bill supported by the crypto industry to increase their reach into our banking system and broader economy.
There are many problems with the bill, but most egregious is that is essentially legalizes Donald Trump's crypto corruption scheme.

The Paramount-Warner merger is illegal. The 2nd and 5th biggest studios combining. 200M subscribers. Prices will go through the roof.
But free speech will die too. Because the owners have cut a deal with Trump to silence his critics.
State AGs need to step in and block it. Now.

Meet Crumb, Button, and Clover. A friend in the Bay Area found them behind a gas station. Unfortunately, she isn't able to keep them, so if she can't find someone to adopt them, they will be going to a shelter. Can you help me find them a home? They are in good health and very tame.

@kellybarnhill.bsky.social I’m a HS librarian with a book club my students turned into a podcast. They recently read When Women Were Dragons. It was the first book this year they ALL loved. I thought you might like to hear their conversation about it. Thank you for writing such a wonderful novel!

If our Christianity causes us to defend the president rather than the poor, the powerless, the sick, the hungry, the homeless, and the immigrant, that’s when we know we are following someone other than Jesus.

In an age of creeping relativism, a universal moral law still exists.
Threatening to end an entire civilization of 90 million people in order to bend a nation’s conduct to your will is grossly morally wrong. It is evil. And we should say this loudly.

Regardless of whether it’s all talk, when the leader of our country expresses plainly genocidal intent, everyone has to do something.
For citizens of all political stripes, it means rejecting this madness. For Congress, it means taking action to rein him in. Now.
