Libraries were my first writer’s room — the place that shaped my voice and imagination. This #BannedBooksWeek, I’m proud to stand with librarians and readers fighting censorship.

PETITION: Don't Ban Books in the United States

Proposed censorship measures in several states could deny your right to read some books in our Nation's libraries and lead to librarians facing criminal charges for the books on the shelves.

No one wants crime — well, maybe if you’re trying to overthrow the U.S. Capitol. That said, the most violent state in the U.S. has been Alaska — for years. Alaska’s population is nearly the same as D.C.’s (702k vs. 745k).

So… where’s the National Guard for Alaska?

Sixty years ago today, LBJ signed Medicare into law. He once said, "I may cut back some tanks but not on health." Now, we cut everything but the tanks and treat health care like a luxury.

We went from "health care is a human right" to "show us your pay stubs and maybe we’ll let you see a doctor."
