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 country singer, who started the book gifting program to encourage early literacy, urged Gov. Mike Braun to reconsider the state’s proposed budget, which does not include the usual 50 percent matching funds provided to finance the initiative. Link to full story:

The cruelty is the point. Uneducated means thay don't know what is being done to them.

All part of Trump's plan.

The media won’t tell you, and woke liberals are clueless: Trump’s roaring comeback is driven by everyday Americans fed up with soaring bills, not obsessed about a dozen genders or the right to a transgender bathroom. #AbookThatChangesEverything #TrumpWon

This Governor's a serious asshole. He wants to ban interracial marriage too.

Mike Braun is still all-MAGA in his new job as Indiana governor. He wasted no time to jump on the Trump train and issue a memo supporting his order to halt disbursement of all federal funds.

Missouri Republicans cut funding for Dolly Parton's free book program—affecting 167,000 preschool children. Program mailed a free book to kids under 5 years—every month. She gave away over 4.3 million books the past 2 years—just in Missouri. Governor Mike Kehoe said, "Simply put the days of... ‘so-called surpluses’ are over." "I think we’re making great strides to that with the $600 million in cuts." It had been the first state to fully fund the Imagination Library program statewide—when it launched in November 2023 under the previous Governor. Now the program will stop enrolling new kids almost immediately—kids already enrolled will receive books "as funding allows."

In 2022, when Dolly Parton came to Ohio in support of Dolly Parton's Imagination Library of Ohio, she presented me a copy of her book, "Coat of Many Colors." I have been enjoying reading it to kids across Ohio and doing an arts and crafts activity with them so they can make their own coat of many colors.

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."

Today we launched and expanded this year’s First Partner’s Summer Book Club, and I’m so grateful one of our featured authors, Nell Cross Beckerman, could join us to read with kids in Altadena Library! In partnership with the California State Library, we’re encouraging families to keep reading all year long—not just during the summer. Because when we read with our children, or create space for them to discover stories on their own, we help grow empathy, spark imagination, and build a lifelong love of learning!

JUST IN: Dolly Parton's husband, Carl Dean, has passed away at the age of 82 after nearly 60 years of marriage. Parton met Dean the day she moved to Nashville at 18 years old. "I was surprised and delighted that while he talked to me, he looked at my face (a rare thing for me)," Parton once said. "He seemed to be genuinely interested in finding out who I was and what I was about." The pair got married two years later on May 30, 1966. "Carl and I spent many wonderful years together. Words can't do justice to the love we shared for over 60 years. Thank you for your prayers and sympathy," Parton said in a statement.

🚨 NOW: Indiana Gov. Mike Braun has just signed a proclamation declaring June "NUCLEAR FAMILY MONTH," the same as Tennessee, instead of LGBTQ Pride 👏🏻👏🏻 "The nuclear family, consisting of one husband, one wife, and any biological, adopted, or fostered children, is God's design for the family structure and has been the foundation of society since the creation of the world." "Research reports that children living with their married, biological parents have better physical and emotional well-being." "When families weaken, society must compensate with expensive, inferior approaches such as welfare systems, schools as surrogate parents, and police as surrogate discipline..." "I, Mike Braun, Governor of the State of Indiana, do hereby proclaim the month of June, 2026, as Nuclear Family Month in the State of Indiana, and invite all citizens to duly note this occasion."

Missouri cuts off funding for ebooks & audiobooks at public libraries. Seniors, disabled, and others without transportation depend on these services for access to their public library. If you use apps like Libby to read books—funding is canceled for ebook service that runs them named Overdrive, Inc. Secretary of State Danny Hoskins claims that he is defunding the digital public library system to "protect the children." However, local school districts already have the power to set their own guidelines for digital student content, control who can access it online, and filter by grade level. Every citizen in Missouri could lose access to their public library because of this phony culture war. #DemVoice1 #wtpBLUE #DemsUnited

Governor Josh Shapiro: He went from being the leader of the Free World to now, in just one month, wanting to be a leader of a single hemisphere, leaving China and Russia in charge of the other hemispheres. That is deeply, deeply dangerous for America’s national security interests. It is deeply troubling to see a president retreat in the face of Vladimir Putin and President Xi. We need a president who’s going to stand up for America’s interests, who wants to be the leader of the Free World. He has demonstrated nothing but weakness when it comes to national security over the course of his first month in office.
