Does Tevye’s Dream count? He’s telling his wife a story, but it’s the characters acting out his dream (including Fruma Sara) who are singing, not Tevye.

I don't want to alarm anyone, but hoopla has a whole dang 2025 eisner nominees section. You can just... read them all. For free. And support your local library at the same time. 😱

Morelle’s Statement on Abrupt Firing of Dr. Carla Hayden, Librarian of Congress

 

WASHINGTON – Rep. Joe Morelle (NY-25), the top Democrat on the Committee on House Administration, issued this statement after Dr. Carla Hayden was fired from her duties as the Librarian of Congress:

 

β€œTonight, President Trump fired a patriotic public servant. The Librarian of Congress, Dr. Carla Hayden, has spent her entire career serving people β€” from helping kids learn to read to protecting some of our nation’s most precious treasures. She is an American hero.

β€œPresident Trump’s ignorant decision will impact America’s libraries, our copyrighted economic interests, and service to the American people by threatening support for Congress. His decision is a complete disgrace.

β€œI will be introducing legislation to guarantee that the Librarian of Congress is appointed by Congress.”

 

Background:

Earlier this week, Ranking Member Morelle proclaimed in his opening statement during the Committee’s Library of Congress oversight hearing that it β€œdoesn’t take much imagination to see the Library of Congress next in the crosshairs.” Watch the full opening statement here.

Dr. Carla Hayden, the 14th Librarian of Congress, was fired by Pres. Trump today according to a press statement from @morelle.house.gov. Only the Legislative Branch should make decisions about the hiring & removal of the Librarian of CONGRESS. This needs to be fixed asap.

Trump fires Librarian of Congress and Baltimorean Carla Hayden President Donald Trump fired Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden on Thursday, according to statements from House Democrats.

Dr. Carla Hayden has served as Librarian of Congress with honor and distinction, bringing our prized institution to new heights.

Trump’s outrageous, politically-motivated move to fire her is despicable. The Library of Congress belongs to the American people β€” NOT to Trump.

I would hope that when Gov Walz and comparable senior Dems hold town halls in incumbent Republican districts, they’re introducing dynamic progressive young Democrats from those districts who are potential candidates to replace the no-show incumbents in 2026.

I feel like Don Heck suffered from being the guy that editors knew they could count on to deliver when the book was way behind, and that run of Avengers is a good example. When he had time to work on a project (e.g. the mid-70s Steel series at DC), he looked a lot better.

I’m a big fan of the strip. But I’ve got to tell you that the way it shows up in the newsprint edition of the Washington Post isn’t doing you any favors since the started printing the daily comics in color last year. Much darker and muddier than the online version

Same meter (and so can be sung to the same tune):

The woods
Are love-
Ly dark and deep

But I
Have pro-
Mises to keep

And miles
To go
Before I sleep

And miles to go before I sleep
