NEWS: The Library has acquired one of the earliest known drawings of Yosemite Valley, from 1855, by artist Thomas Almond Ayres. Ayres’ sketches were the source for the first published image of Yosemite at a time when drawings shaped how people saw the American West. newsroom.loc.gov/news/librar…

ALT Drawing by Thomas Almond Ayres (c. 1855) titled “The High Falls, Valley of the Yo Semity, California,” rendered in graphite, ink, chalk and charcoal on paper. It depicts what is now known as Yosemite Falls, which is actually made up of three separate waterfalls. Upper Yosemite Fall (1,430 feet), the middle cascades (675 feet), and Lower Yosemite Fall (320 feet). The water plunges off a tall cliff of granite and the grassy landscape below is dotted with trees and a few grazing animals. A group of people stands around a fire in the foreground.
Today the HHS DOGE team open sourced the largest Medicaid dataset in department history.
This dataset contains aggregated, provider-level claims data for a specific billing code over time.
For example, using this dataset, it would have been possible to easily detect the large-scale autism diagnosis fraud seen in Minnesota.

Based on the lack of respect that China has shown to the World’s Markets, I am hereby raising the Tariff charged to China by the United States of America to 125%, effective immediately. At some point, hopefully in the near future, China will realize that the days of ripping off the U.S.A., and other Countries, is no longer sustainable or acceptable. Conversely, and based on the fact that more than 75 Countries have called Representatives of the United States, including the Departments of Commerce, Treasury, and the USTR, to negotiate a solution to the subjects being discussed relative to Trade, Trade Barriers, Tariffs, Currency Manipulation, and Non Monetary Tariffs, and that these Countries have not, at my strong suggestion, retaliated in any way, shape, or form against the United States, I have authorized a 90 day PAUSE, and a substantially lowered Reciprocal Tariff during this period, of 10%, also effective immediately. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

From Acting Director William W. Lothrop: On January 20, 2025, Director Peters separated from the Federal Bureau of Prisons, and I will be serving as the Acting Director. With over 30 years of experience in the Bureau, I’ve had the privilege of working shoulder-to-shoulder with many of you, dedicating my career to ensuring the safety and security of our employees and inmates.
As we face ongoing challenges, including staffing shortages and operational issues, I am committed to working alongside you to find real solutions that strengthen our facilities. We will continue collaborating with our law enforcement partners and stakeholders to maintain robust programming and support services for inmates.
Our mission remains clear: to provide a safe, secure and humane environment, ensure public safety, and prepare those in our custody for successful reentry into society.
