Then she died.

After expanding Medicaid to include dental and vision in Kentucky, our team delivered 65,000 eyeglasses and over 3,000 dentures in 2025 alone. Research has shown these services can change lives by helping folks find employment, and I'm proud we're seeing those benefits firsthand.

29. For at least some States, USDA’s understanding is that the system changes States must implement to provide the reduced benefit amounts will take anywhere from a few weeks to up to several months. See Penn Decl. Doc. No. 14-2 ¶ 25. 30. In addition to adjusting eligibility and benefit issuance files to accommodate the reduction, States must notify all SNAP households of the reduction, as well as handle any requests for fair hearings from SNAP households related to the reduction. See 7 C.F.R. 271.7(d)(4) and (f). 31. As noted above, USDA will issue the appropriate notice and issuance tables today to comply with the Court’s order.

Note, however, the attached declaration suggests that it may take states "anywhere from a few weeks to up to several months" to make the changes necessary to issue partial SNAP benefits.

Trump is not actually president. Who is running the White House? This pardon is legally invalid.

They only have time and resources for threats.

We rewatched Rocky Horror last night — still incredible, if you're wondering — and today here's Tim Curry again, morphed from Dr. Furter to the Grand Wizard. Grand Wizard so much more disturbing. (Also somewhat disturbing as a casting choice?)

Impressive. Cuz media are complicit.

JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing.

Let me tell you two menswear stories related to this claim. 🧵

A multi-ethnic collective of garment workers.

"Social unionism" meant the union did more than fight for better wages. It provided affordable housing, health benefits, and unemployment insurance. Since many garment workers were newly arrived immigrants, the union would also teach people English.

In this moment, coal miners turned their red bandanas into a symbol of solidarity — both to distinguish themselves from the enemy and to show that, across racial lines, coal miners were united along class interests

For this reason, they were known as the "Redneck Army."

Your ability to eat should not depend on your productivity

Your ability to get healthcare should not depend on your productivity

Your ability to get housing should not depend on your productivity

Saying “be more productive!” To those who are struggling devalues human life.

It aids fascism.

These senators are demonstrating a willful blindness that has become endemic in the Democratic Party. Their rhetoric — and the conventional wisdom that flows from it — suggests that we cannot talk about economic solutions without abandoning our commitment to the Black, Latino, gay, transgender and female poor that are the lifeblood of the Democratic Party’s base. The conceit at the heart of that belief is that poor white people are too racist, and too uniquely ignorant of their racism, to vote in their best interests. Therefore, Democrats have to accept a little racism to win the working class. It is an old argument. History will tell you that negotiating with racism or fascism or authoritarianism never ends well.
