Libraries & museums are beloved community institutions and IMLS supports their critical work. In big win for the public, Trump Admin has been barred from dismantling IMLS and undercutting federal support for public libraries & museums. I’ll continue to champion these crucial community assets.

If Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and democracy are all negotiated by Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin in Moscow without Ukraine then that is not a ‘deal’ at all. It would make Ukraine, America, and our allies less safe.
