Rural counties have higher enrollments than urban ones. Some of the largest enrollment states are red ones like Louisiana, Oklahoma and West Virginia. Undocumented immigrants are ineligible. Most beneficiaries are required to work 80 hrs/month.

Reporter: "Hitler is gassing Jews. Are you against that?"
Republican: "This is why your ratings are so bad."

Republican Senator Schmitt says he’s ‘not familiar’ with a front-page pardon, then calls it ‘Democrat talking points.’
Authoritarian math:
If the facts are bad → deny knowing them
If pressed → attack the messenger
If cornered → yell about ratings
It’s been a few, we see the pattern.

In this segment, Senator Schmitt insists he knows nothing about a major scandal, goes on an extended rant filled with lies and smears, insults Stephanopolous and his show directly, and is generally a preening asshole.
Yet I’m sure they’ll welcome him back for more.

Everyone involved knows Mel is a virulently racist fascist lunatic with horrendous views on the use of massive, murderous violence against civilians. But there she still is on Sky News, because her crackpottery is well within acceptable opinion, for our political/media class.

Listen to the clip. Instead of immediately shutting him down when he lies that he hadn’t heard about the pardon of the Honduran president who was convicted of a conspiracy to smuggle 400 TONS OF COCAINE, Stephanopolous lets him spew insanities about how this one boat was the existential threat.

Great thread in which the congressman uses the plot Beverly Hills Cop to expose the lawlessness behind the “stablecoin” scam
When the House and Senate marked up stablecoin legislation, we raised all of these concerns - their anonymity, their nearly perfect design for money laundering. All the barn doors were left wide open. It’s used for crime because that is its purpose. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/07/t...

There was a similar successful program in Colorado to give homeless people homes.
Much like how raising the Minimum Wage in California had very few of the possible negative impacts.
Almost as if all that fear mongering or these kinds of social programs was actually corporate brainwashing. 🤔

An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.
