Fascinating story about the USNA book bans. As a St. John’s College mom, I’m proud. www.thebaltimorebanner.com/opinion/colu...
The Naval Academy bans books. Across the street, they treasure them.
The Annapolis Cup croquet match between the Naval Academy and St. John's College has always been a contrast in style. But never like Saturday.

The minute I saw the lettering on the opening credits for the Netflix show The Residence I knew it had to be Maira Kalman’s work! As her biggest fan, I was so excited! It turns out her Art also holds clues! www.townandcountrymag.com/leisure/arts...

We were told not to share this publicly, but last year was record-breaking—America’s national parks saw over 331 million visits.

Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act.

With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.

Finished -- it was INCREDIBLE. Best read so far in 2025. (And that's saying a lot as it was up against Parable of the Sower).
Who else is reading this? I’m halfway through and it is sooooo gooooood. I cannot turn it off. Bravo, @karissachen.bsky.social #booksky #homeseeking #reader #litfic

A little gift for Roger Marshall yesterday! We think he’s lost his way from what real Kansans want to see in Washington. This yellow brick road might help him find his way home. @maddow.msnbc.com @kshb41.bsky.social @bootsonthegroundkc.bsky.social #kansas #resist

Today is THE LAST DAY to preorder a signed copy of my new book Everything Is Tuberculosis. (Starting tomorrow, it's just...ordering.)
STUNNING review of Everything Is Tuberculosis in @apnews.com. "The real magic of Green’s writing is the deeply considerate, human touch that goes into every word. He uses the stories of real people to turn overwhelming problems into something personal and understandable."

Book Review: John Green is obsessed with tuberculosis. He makes a strong case that we should be, too
Bestselling young adult author John Green's newest book is a nonfiction thesis on the deadliest infectious disease, which infects millions of people per year.

I’ve got a little delivery ready to go to Roger Marshall and Jerry Moran. The folks at @bootsonthegroundmidwest had a great idea to help our senators find their way back home to Kansas, and to what Kansas really want to see in Washington. #kansas #resist #yellowbrickroad @rachelmaddow

I am making my 5 calls this morning about opposition to the SAVE Act. This would make voting so much harder for women and low-income people. I know you Kansans won't be surprised to hear that MARSHALL's voice mail was "unavailable." #saveact #5calls buttondown.com/5calls
