So Trump fired the Librarian of Congress today. Cause...reasons. Here's the article.

But what gets most people going is the reason that Trump's press secretary cited for her ousting.

Reporter: The president fired the Librarian of Congress. Why? Leavitt: There were quite concerning things she had done at the Library of Congress in the pursuit of DEI and putting inappropriate books in the library for children.

I...I think Trump actually thinks the Library of Congress is an actual public library with all the fixings. Including a children's section.

Ironbite-that he should go sit in and maybe read "How Not To Be a Dictator for Kids".

He may be killing this program for the wrong reasons but it is less of a loss than it sounds. See this video for an extended discussion of how that program turned out in practice.

It is informative and infuriating.

I cannot shed any light on the actual allegation, but the Library of Congress DOES have a children's section.

I feel like there should be a little boom-tish there, because sometimes it seems like the adult section is the weird thing there. But seriously. It really does have a children's section.

He is correct that a lot of it depends on whether the courts do the right thing or not. I think they will. Unfortunately the rest depends on whether people will abide by the courts' instructions and that part gets pretty murky.
