Around 9 a.m., the two Justice Department officials arrived at the library’s James Madison Memorial Building and sought access to the U.S. Copyright Office, which is housed there. They brought a letter from the White House declaring that Mr. Blanche was the acting librarian and that he had selected the two men for top roles at the agency.

They were Paul Perkins, an associate deputy attorney general who the letter said would serve as the acting register of copyrights and the director of the Copyright Office, and Brian Nieves, a deputy chief of staff and senior policy counsel who had been designated as the acting deputy librarian. Mr. Trump also fired the previous director of the Copyright Office, Shira Perlmutter, over the weekend, one of the people said.

Staff members at the library balked and called the U.S. Capitol Police as well as their general counsel, Meg Williams, who told the two officials that they were not allowed access to the Copyright Office and asked them to leave, one of the people said.

Mr. Perkins and Mr. Nieves then left the building willingly, accompanied to the door by Ms. Williams. The library’s staff is recognizing Robert Newlen, the principal deputy librarian who was Dr. Hayden’s No. 2, as the acting librarian until it gets direction from Congress, one of the people familiar with the situation said.

Some clarity: Capitol police were called when DOJ guys tried to enter the US Copyright Building, Library of Congress General Counsel said no and walked them out. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/12/u...

Dear Colleagues:
You may have read that the White House has appointed a new acting Librarian. Currently, Congress is engaged with the White House, and we have not yet received direction from Congress about how to move forward. We will share additional information as we receive it.

Acting Librarian of Congress

Law Dork can confirm that this is the message Robert Newlenβ€”who became the Acting Librarian of Congress after Trump purported to fire Carla Haydenβ€”sent to colleagues a little before noon today. One source within LOC adds that staff were told that LOC is waiting on Congress as to next steps.

"The president fired the librarian of congress because she put inappropriate books in the library for children."

The library of congress keeps a copy of every book published. The librarian role is administrative - they don't "put" anything there.

When you're not even smart enough to lie right.

Hasan Piker detained at the border and questioned for hours over politics + TikTok clout loop, Kai Cenat's next chapter, the "safest white boy", Minecraft marriages, group chat trauma, a MAHA-friendly food app, Altman's kitchen fails, and Silicon Valley's existential crisis

In no way should a U.S. Citizen be detained, anywhere, because of their protected speech (and neither should a non-citizen, to be clear). To do so is to violate an oath to the Constitution and the rule of law.

They don't call it the library of Congress without good reason. Not the library of the president.

Rule of law is β€˜endangered,’ chief justice says Speaking at Georgetown Law, Chief Justice John Roberts denounced β€œad hominem” criticism of the justices.

What does "rule of law" mean if you explicitly state that nothing the chief executive does in office can legally implicate him www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

This is definitely something you do when a technology is very good and doesn’t need intense regulation.

Holy and Hoodoo: Decolonizing Faith Through a Black Lens | Black Girl Nerds Decolonizing faith isn’t rejecting Christianity. It’s remembering our ancestors never received it clean.

'Sinners' might look like a film about spiritual warfare on the surface, but it’s doing something deeper. It pulls back the veil on how we’ve always lived at the intersection of faith and folk practices, even without the words to name it.

Life is too hard and too short to live by pretend rules you made up for yourself that steal your joy. If you don’t like that book, stop reading it. If you want to wear the same outfit you love two weeks in a row, wear it. If you like taking the inefficient scenic route, take it.
