Hey, as a librarian I have to tell you
You don't have to finish a book that doesn't interest you. Life's too short for that. Not your jam? You have my permission to move on to the next book.

We need strong crypto legislation, not weak rules that put our economy at risk and turbocharge the corruption superhighway the industry has built with Donald Trump.

NASA is more than rockets and moonwalks. NASA is behind much of our everyday technology. From space discovery, to Air Jordans, to CAT scans, NASA has played a role. We get it all on less than a penny of every federal dollar. Now their science may be gutted by 50%.

Capitol Hill just hosted a science fair with a twist:
🔬 Nobel winners & other leading scientists stood by posters showing their work — and the cuts now gutting it.
They came from across the country, many paying their own way, to call attention to the serious risks these cuts pose to our future.
