In a video recorded early last week, 14th Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden honored the work performed by the Library's staff, the heart of the institution. As the caretakers of our nation’s collective history, the staff will continue to serve Congress, the American public & users across the world.

Jill Lepore, a historian of the first order, puts the last bizarre 100 days in good perspective in the April 28 issue of New Yorker: Trump felled so much timber not because of the mightiness of his axe but because of the rot within the trees and the weakness of the wood.

The physical conditioning and the will of Steph Curry were incredible tonight. Playing nearly every minute, in the 4th he still had the most energy of anyone else to not only drive the offense but sprint behind guys for steals and get loose balls. What a player.

Mike Pence does not deserve a “Profile in Courage” Award for doing the absolute bare minimum during the January 6th attack, an incident he directly enabled through years of cowardly supporting Trump’s dismantling of our democracy. It’s disgraceful that the JFK Library honored him.

This is incredibly cool: if you search for a condition that’s affected your family, the site returns stats on how much NIH has done for that disease, and a contact form for reaching out to tell your Members of Congress why you want to see them defend NIH. Pass it on!

Donald Trump is not a king, and Congress is not powerless. Republicans have a choice to make. They can continue to bow down to Donald Trump while he sabotages our economy, or they can stand up for the American people who elected them and vote to end this tariff game.

I'm voting for #barbaralee and I want to tell you why I think you should do so, too. 1. Loren Taylor was recently on #Oakland City Council. That history makes a useful lens into his current rhetoric, and I don't like what I see.

🦋Former President Obama brings his calm and steady leadership style to us once again to remind us of our power: “It is up to all of us to fix this. It's not going to be because somebody comes and saves you. The most important office in this democracy is the citizen—who says, no, that's not right.”🦋
