@RepAndyLevin Thank you for supporting libraries. My local library is swamped by people seeking their resources. They are working hard for the community. Libraries are always there, but often forgotten for funding.
All ages and all groups of Americans use these free information resources.
As always we must look to the future and provide great public educational opportunities for our children and next-generation voters. The civics lessons need to be reviewed and updated as the obstacles the voters will navigate change.
I think the hope for the future largely lies in our education system. Teaching children to be not only informed, how to naviagate a complicated media landscape but also how to empathize and understand why people think differently than you without hating or rejecting them.

@NicolleDWallace Tell that to the MSNBC commentators (including Brian and Rachel) who thought it was appropriate to question Mueller’s abilities because of his age.
@NicolleDWallace I just wish your network didn't portray him as old, feeble and perhaps not right-minded. Chuck Todd and Brian Williams suggesting he has dementia was shocking. Not fair.
New research shows that the recent rise in global temperatures is unlike anything seen on Earth during the past 2,000 years.

Don’t strive to be the best. It creates an illusion of an endpoint—and a delusion that the goal is to be superior to others.
Strive to be better. The person you’re competing with is your past self, and the bar you’re setting is for your future self.
