Ad Astra Per Aspera

President Trump fired our nation’s Librarian, Dr. Carla Hayden, by email at 6:56pm tonight, taking his assault on America’s libraries to a new level. Over the course of her tenure, Dr. Hayden brought the Library of Congress to the people, with initiatives that reached into rural communities and made the Library accessible to all Americans, in person and online. While President Trump wants to ban books and tell Americans what to read – or not to read at all, Dr. Hayden has devoted her career to making reading and the pursuit of knowledge available to everyone. Be like Dr. Hayden.

BREAKING: President Trump just fired our nation's Librarian. My statement here:

Hm. I disagree but appreciate your take.

Why not Pete?

During the police response in Florida, a White House reporter asked President Trump about whether he'd consider new gun safety measures.

Van Hollen speaks to press after being denied entry to El Salvador prison holding Abrego Garcia YouTube video by Senator Chris Van Hollen

Kilmar Abrego Garcia was illegally abducted and is being held in a notorious prison in El Salvador — barred from contacting his family or lawyers.

I’m speaking to the press now after we were denied access to the prison to check on his condition. Tune in:

Opinion | We Should All Be Very, Very Afraid (Gift Article) Trump is seeking to establish a truly chilling proposition: that no one can stop his administration from imprisoning anyone it wants, anywhere in the world.

Read every word.

Harvard University Harvard University is devoted to excellence in teaching, learning, and research, and to developing leaders who make a difference globally.

Harvard redid its whole homepage to push back against the administration’s demands. I mean, this is just a website but I think it’s kind of a great PR move: www.harvard.edu

🤣🤣🤣

The United States government kidnapped and disappeared Abrego Garcia and sent him to El Salvador, without due process.

As of today, the DOJ is defying the judge's order asking for his whereabouts and to facilitate his immediate return.

This is next level authoritarianism.

Mississippi libraries ordered to delete academic research in response to state laws - Mississippi Today The two research collections state officials ordered for deletion included material from professional journals, conference papers, books, student dissertations, periodicals and newspaper articles.

Republicans are Nazis. It’s very clear. It’s BEEN clear.

You’ve always been sugared, sugar. ✨

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

What are the odds that enough Supreme Court Justices believe we shouldn't put people in foreign torture prisons without due process & especially when the government misrepresents the evidence it has in briefs it submits to the Court?

Well said.

Where is our humanity?

Raskin: We even have the right to call the president deranged for crashing our economy, destroying $6 trillion of wealth and turning our 401(k) Into a 201 (K). And the press has the right to call the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of Mexico.

I just did the numbers and this assumption looks to be completely right.

Let’s pause for a minute and consider how INSANE this is. 🧵

Sidewalk chalk message says: "Start imagining the revolution. Stop imagining the apocalypse."

Solid advice. Keep your eye on the future victory, not the temporary doom.

I see you as a confident Dr. Dillamond. #gotyourgoat
