Proposed law would allow for removal of library board members State Sen. Chris Elliott introduced Senate Bill 26, establishing a pathway for local governments to remove library board members after months of controversy.

The bill in Alabama would help politicize library boards as the battle continues across the state over what library books belong in children's and youth sections.

Congress is rebranding the BIG budget bill “Healthcare Reform.” Nonsense. The bill will gut Medicaid, affect Medicare [YES, Medicare!] & reduce ACA enrollment—to fund tax cuts for the rich. Are you enrolled in Medicaid, Medicare or the ACA now? What if the bill passes? Then what? @lwvus.bsky.social

Quote from Judy Bloom that says let children read whatever they want and then talk about it with them. If parents and kids can talk together, we won’t have as much censorship because we won’t have as much fear.

Quote from Judy Bloom that says let children read whatever they want and then talk about it with them. If parents and kids can talk together, we won’t have as much censorship because we won’t have as much fear.

This quote reminds us that open, honest conversations between parents and kids are the antidote to fear… and fear is what fuels censorship. When we trust young readers and engage with them about what they read, we build critical thinking, connection, and empathy.

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

The government can now restrict the books that you and your family are allowed to read in public libraries just because it dislikes or disagrees with the content.

Statement on Trump's Attack on Federal Funding for Libraries

Destroying IMLS would have massive negative impacts for libraries across the country. Please let your members of congress know this is NOT acceptable. Keeping citizens ignorant is what dictators do.

Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.
