The Republican shutdown is threatening SNAP benefits for more than 600,000 Kentuckians. We’re not waiting for Republicans to act.

Join the Kentucky Democratic Party’s Statewide Food Drive on November 8th. Reach out to your county party to see how you can donate: www.kydemocrats.org/county-parties

"I think it’s because the reporters parachute into a place not to listen — which they damn well should be doing — but to find someone who will illustrate the (often toxic) story they and/or their editors had in mind before they even got there."

We live in a country where the media is focused more on who a Democratic mayoral candidate defines as his ‘aunt’ than on the DHS Twitter account putting out white nationalist propaganda and replying to Nazis online.

I’m going to be elevating Chicago reporters for follows this week as they’re doing an excellent job reporting on and investigating the abuses and falsehoods of ICE and CPB - much better than national press I hate to say. Today I urge you to follow @tinasfon.bsky.social at the @chicago.suntimes.com.

My weekly plea to tell your apolitical sports-enjoying buddies to stop using X and come to Bluesky. Tell them sports are here, major accounts, endless sports videos and highlights and stats and all that. Tell them they can have a timeline free of politics if they want. Just get them here.

#OpenEnrollment #HealthcareReform #OneBigBeautifulBill

It's open enrollment season.....are we having fun yet?

Nothing says "big and beautiful" like navigating a shorter enrollment window, losing your automatic renewal, and watching your premiums spike. But hey, at least we're combating "fraud" by making it harder for everyone—including people who actually need coverage—to access healthcare.

Remember: if millions of people lose insurance, that just means the system is working as intended. 🎉

#BBN for anyone that wants to donate to the Big Blue Pantry, it’s through the UK Philanthropy Office and you select the Big Blue Pantry from the drop down menu when you fill out the form.

It looks like each student can only visit three times a month right now and I really hope they lift that.

Thanks to @spotify's recent moves, I discovered Qobuz and it's been such a pleasant surprise! Really appreciate their ethical business model, and the streaming experience itself is genuinely refreshing. Worth exploring if you're curious about alternatives!

I’d say both. In my case, age is definitely a factor, and I’ve also evolved as an adult due to work travel and marrying someone who was raised to appreciate the value in seeing new places!

I would like to see this data broken down by demographic. Gen X, in particular, must be closer to doubling this number.

I hope the “our judicial system and processes are going to save us” crowd is right.
