Dolly Parton on her Imagination Library program that Republicans defunded: "[My daddy] was the smartest man I have ever known, but I knew [...] his inability to read probably kept him from seeing all of his dreams come true. Inspiring kids to love to read became my mission."

Indiana's MAGA Governor bans Dolly Parton's "Imagination Library" from budget. Library sends free book every month to over 125,000 kids in Indiana — but Gov. Mike Braun can't stand that, so he's following in Trump's footsteps and cutting off all funding. She pleaded with law makers to reconsider: "For the past two years, the State of Indiana has been a proud partner in bringing Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library to over 125,000 Hoosier children each month until they reach 5 years of age," she said. "Together, we’ve helped nurture a love of reading, given families precious moments of joy, and built a foundation for lifelong learning." Dolly Parton was inspired by her own father’s inability to read and write to launch the initiative. It now sends out over 2 million free books each month to children around the world. #DemVoice1 #wtpBLUE #DemsUnited

I asked my wife Maureen to take the lead on funding for Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. I am proud to share her announcement today, launching a new fundraising initiative to expand and sustain Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library across the state. The initiative establishes a public-private partnership aimed at supporting the beloved book gifting program that promotes early childhood literacy by delivering free, high-quality books to children from birth to age five.

Carl Sagan put it beautifully. "If I were to read a book a week for my entire adult lifetime, and I lived an ordinary lifetime, when I was all done, I would have read maybe a few thousand books. No more. In this library, that's from about here to about here. But that's only a tenth of a percent or so of the total number of books in the library. The trick is to know which books to read."

Mike Macdonald on John Harbaugh: "I don't think it's possible to overstate his influence on me. I love John Harbaugh. He's one of my biggest mentors, was willing to take chances on me when other people weren't and invested in me and my career throughout. ... He had a vision for me and my career that I probably didn't have for myself. All those principles that are a part of his program that he's about as a person resonated with me. Those are a lot of the foundational principles that we brought to Seattle. ... I can't tell you how much I love him."

Former CDC Official: I read RFK Jr's books and was prepared to welcome him. After seeing his Senate Finance testimony and the number of misstatements, seeing what he's asked our scientists to do and to compromise their integrity, and the children that have died under his watch, I think he should resign

“Pen, ever since I found out you are Whistledown, I have done everything I can to try to separate you from her. But the other day, I went back and read all of the letters you have sent me; your letters have always been the ones I am most eager to read, and I realized you are HER. You have always had one voice. There is no separating you from Whistledown. And after seeing you speak today, well, I would not want to. Because forgive me, but THAT was bloody brilliant. I think in truth I have been envious of you, of your success, of your bravery. And now, I simply cannot believe that a woman with such bravery, loves ME. How lucky I am to stand by your side and soak up even a little bit of your light. If my only purpose in life is to love a woman as great as you, then I will be a very fulfilled man, indeed.” The greatest love confession speech in all of mankind. Everyone else can go him now.
