The Library of Congress, our nation's oldest federal cultural institution, was established on April 24, 1800, when President John Adams signed an Act of Congress transferring of the seat of government from Philadelphia to #WashingtonDC and appropriating $5,000 for books for the use of Congress. President Thomas Jefferson made significant contributions to the library as well. Stop by our neighbor on your next Mall visit.

I hope all of you have a wonderful and relaxing weekend. And as always, please be good to each other.

🗣️ We are delighted to announce that @DanielJHannan will be joining us as our new Director General. "The IEA set Britain free. When it was founded in 1955, there was a consensus in favour of high spending, industrial management and economic planning. Ralph Harris and Arthur Seldon showed people what was wrong with those ideas, and thus unleashed the genius of our nation. We face a similar challenge today. Public spending and taxation are higher now than they were in 1955. We are back to the fatal conceit, the idea that politicians, bureaucrats and planners know best. Just like the IEA's founders, we need to change people's minds, to open people's eyes. The route to national prosperity, now as then, is through deregulation, free trade, sound money and low spending. It's not just the politicians we need to convince; it's not even primarily the politicians. When voters understand the case for smaller government, MPs follow. I am so grateful to every one of my predecessors, from Ralph Harris, who inspired me as a teenager, to David Frost, whom I am proud to call my friend. They kept the flame burning. Now it is time to heap up the fire." — Lord Hannan of Kingsclere, incoming Director General of the IEA, from 1 June 2026.


BREAKING: DOJ drops criminal probe into Fed chair Jerome Powell axios.com/2026/04/24/fed…

This morning the Inspector General for the Federal Reserve has been asked to scrutinize the building costs overruns – in the billions of dollars – that have been borne by taxpayers. The IG has the authority to hold the Federal Reserve accountable to American taxpayers. I expect a comprehensive report in short order and am confident the outcome will assist in resolving, once and for all, the questions that led this office to issue subpoenas. Accordingly, I have directed my office to close our investigation as the IG undertakes this inquiry. Note well, however, that I will not hesitate to restart a criminal investigation should the facts warrant doing so.

Dean: Your sons figured out how to profit off of the tariffs by buying refund rights for pennies on the dollar just as you were out there cheerleading the tariffs. As a result, federal taxpayers like my constituents may now owe your family hundreds of millions. I wonder if Trump is concerned about you and your family profiteering off of the illegal tariffs. Lutnick: That is false. It is not true.

Thank you to everyone who joined the Minnesota Lawyer Chapter last night for the 2026 Justice G. Barry Anderson Dinner and Award Presentation. The evening included remarks from Hon. Thomas M. Hardiman and recognition of Hon. Matthew Johnson as this year’s Justice Barry Anderson Award recipient. We appreciate everyone who helped make last night a success!
