If you read the local @usatoday.com Network's Bucks County Courier Times, it's as if the #HandsOff protests with thousands of people locally - from Quakertown to Doylestown to Newtown and then down I-95 to Philly - and with millions across the country, never happened. Sad, but not surprising.

Write letters in support of your library, to the board and to your local paper. Commit to attending a couple board meetings. Contact your political reps about doing something about the gutting of IMLS. Go to protests. Anything. Just get involved and advocate.

This is the last time I’m going to post about this because it just makes me sob each time. My brother died last year from cancer he got as a result of the toxic burn pits in Iraq. That the same government that put him and others in harm’s way would turn its back on them now is treason and murder.

Republicans want to use an accounting trick to hide the true cost of Trump's tax cuts for the wealthy in their budget bill. Meanwhile, they're hacking away at regulatory rules that protect consumers, workers, and the environment.  The GOP works for the oligarchs — not you.

1) Fox News is for real not showing stock-market ticker during this week's collapse. 2) Its economic news is "strong jobs report." 3) Every time I've checked in today, the coverage has been "illegal immigrants committing new crimes." This is state propaganda, on a par with North Korea or PRC.

Incredibly moving. 1000s of Lithuanians lined the streets of the capital Vilnius yesterday to honor the four US soldiers killed on their soil. As their bodies are repatriated to the US, their President will be nowhere to be seen, except on a Florida golf course. (📸 Gedinimas Varvuolis)
An American flag flies above a street in Vilnius as police outriders surround hearses transporting the bodies of the US servicemen. 100s of locals are seen lining the street.
