We could spend years demanding a list be released, or we could just believe women…

The Shutdown Is Over, But America's Hunger Crisis Isn't ​As the government reopens, millions will still lose access to food assistance starting almost immediately due to policy changes in the GOP's "Big Beautiful Bill."

Some inspiring words on cinema in the streaming era from the Pope.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.
