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. 🦋❤️

S.F. Democratic Party altered rules to vote on the billionaire tax, potentially defying the state party’s position to support it.
The tax, or Prop. 40, would impose a one-time 5 percent levy on roughly 200 billionaires in California.

This Thursday, SpaceX insiders will be released from their first post-IPO stock lockup and can cash out early.

BIG DEAL on voting rights this morning:
Governor Spanberger just restored the voting rights of some 60,000+ Virginians.
Her move reverses Youngkin's abrupt decision in 2023 to end automatic voting rights restoration, which brought Virginia back to a system of default lifetime disenfranchisement.

This is the only state that, absent action by the governor, bans people convicted of any felony from voting for life. Virginians have an opportunity to end that system for good in November.
