White House privately tells Congress that "it is not possible at this time to know the full scope and duration of military operations that may be necessary."

If you're legit not sure who is right in a situation, siding with the #librarians is never a bad instinct.

I believe that the line is "Everybody to get from strit."

What I can't believe is that I am old enough to have seen that film _in a theatre_ when it was released. Eek. Heck of a cast though.

You want a dementia test?

Just have a reporter, ANY reporter who is actually worth anything, ask him, "Mr Trump? Mr Trump? Why do you think the Founders drafted the Declaration of Independence 13 years after ratifying the constitution? Wasn't the constitution enough?"

Trump orders all federal agencies to phase out use of Anthropic technology President Donald Trump says he's ordering all federal agencies to phase out use of Anthropic technology after the company’s unusually public dispute with the Pentagon over artificial intelligence safe...

This is because the Pentagon and Trump don’t like Anthropic’s language preventing their tech from being used to surveil Americans or for autonomous weapons. Which means the Pentagon wants to use their tech to surveil Americans and build autonomous weapons apnews.com/article/anth...

@edrabinski.bsky.social JSYK, bottom 5 LAD 2-SF 8 (Grand slam by Berricotto just now). It's in the 90s in AZ. LAD not very inspired today. YY was out after 3 innings (he's going to Japan).

"Parents, not politicians, should guide their children’s reading. In our school, campus, and public libraries, materials are selected by trained literacy professionals who understand child development and community needs. Their work is grounded in one clear purpose: helping young people become lifelong readers.

H.R. 7661 isn’t fundamentally about protecting kids. It’s about giving politicians broad authority to restrict whose stories are allowed on the shelves. That should concern anyone who believes in the freedom to read and the right of families to make decisions for themselves.” - ALA President Sam Helmick

"Rather than targeting librarians and teachers, Congress should invest in them. The Right to Read Act offers a better path, supporting well-staffed and well-resourced school libraries, strengthening evidence-based literacy instruction, and protecting the dedicated professionals who help young people discover books that open doors and expand horizons.

When we trust families, support educators, and protect the freedom to read, our young people thrive.” - ALA President Sam Helmick.

NEW: ALA strongly denounces new federal book banning legislation introduced in Congress, HR 7661.

As ALA President Sam Helmick said, "Parents, not politicians, should guide their children's reading." Call your Rep and tell them to oppose this new bill.

so fun fact: recently during the fraud investigations being redone by this season’s feds, MN’s rate of medicaid/medicare fraud was well below the national average

nationally, it’s β‰ˆ 6% each year; in minnesota it’s like β‰ˆ 2.5%

we know this is vindictive at this point

It takes 8 hours to drive across my district, and I’m driving the 26 counties daily.
