I don’t remember anyone giving Jerome Powell a check for $100 million. Who gave it to Kevin Warsh, days before he was confirmed and why?

Fun fact: Dolly Parton spent decades quietly funding band uniforms and instruments at Black high schools across the South - never once putting her name on it. No headlines, no fanfare — just help, given because it was needed. Wonderful Heart ♥️ RIP Dolly ❤️

The Library is devastated to learn of the passing of Dolly Parton, a music legend and titan of children's literacy. Her Imagination Library program has earned multiple Library Literacy Awards and, in 2018, she visited us to donate its 100 millionth book to our collection and host a story time. 🦋❤️

What a concept is right. IMHO, it's time for the old guards to retire. The polite and courteous old school politics are a thing of the past. Bringing strongly worded letters/statements to a gunfight clearly accomplishes nothing.🙄

The list warns of authoritarianism through extreme nationalism, contempt for human rights, controlled media, weakened labor, corruption and cronyism. Study how such governments gained power, then use those warning signs to judge today’s politics and defend democratic institutions.

my wife has a friend who sent Dolly Parton a painting she made & a letter explaining how much Dolly's music meant to her while she was transitioning. Dolly responded to it personally & paid for her top surgery. Sounds like an urban legend but it's real. I think we're going to more stories like this.

Typically an attack against your leader is seen as a shot at your country. Not so with Trump. Watch as the rats jump ship.🇨🇦🇨🇦
