The Trump administration is notifying library systems across the country that grant funding is being terminated, despite pending litigation. The Washington State Library and Seattle Public Library are among them.

Washington's libraries face 'deep and dramatic' funding cuts as Trump abruptly terminates federal grants

Washington State Librarian Sara Jones told KUOW that federal funding cuts could amount to as much of a third of the State Library's budget — especially impacting rural and underserved communities.

Two BIG wins in Motnana!

We killed two anti-trans bills today (a drag ban & a bill requiring CPS to remove trans kids from parents).

I'm so grateful for Montana Democrats, who have stood unwavering in their support of trans rights. And grateful to all the Republicans who said enough is enough.
