PETITION: Don't Let the Federal Government Regulate Your Reading Not one country's freedom and liberty has ever been increased by banning books.

The Federal Book Ban bill uses funding threats to pressure schools to remove books.

Federal control over local policy - and federal control of reading, writing, and publishing - is unacceptable.

Sign the petition to stop it. action.everylibrary.org/hr_7661 via @everylibrary.bsky.social

Four years ago, Putin launched a deadly, unprovoked, and unjustified war against Ukraine, and the continued horror inflicted on the Ukrainian people is barbaric.

I will keep working to ensure Ukraine has the support needed to defend itself and win back peace and security.

Should we be letting any weirdo with an iPhone into our child care centers asking to see proof of kids?

Of course not.

But that is what is happening. And Trump is promoting it!

That's NOT a serious way to uncover fraud in this country, and it's putting our children in harms way.
