As we talk about Medicaid work requirements, the most frequent example invoked is the 2018 experience in Arkansas.
But in some ways, Arkansas's implementation, where we still saw massive disenrollment, was a rosy scenario. Things could have been — may be, in the future — worse.

I’m hanging out at the library and a guy just went up to the research desk and yelled, “DO YOU HAVE ANY BOOKS ABOUT WEREWOLVES,” and now the librarian is showing him some and I just love libraries!

It’s a twist on conventional word ladders — instead of changing one letter at each step, you’re changing the entire word based on a clue. But it’s up to you to determine which clue to use.

Sitting very uncomfortably with the realization that the disruption to equity-related research will probably disproportionately affect early and mid-career women in academia, who are still recovering from being disproportionately impacted by the pandemic

.@janelynchofficial.bsky.social we told our 4yo you were from Chicago and she asked if we could go to your house so she could tell you she really likes your jokes on her Tonies - I said I would find a way to tell you.

If you want to read a new book coming out but don't want to buy it, a great thing you can do is ask your local library to order it. The more requests they get, the more likely they are to acquire it and then lots of people will get to read it who othewise wouldn't.

Summed up, the proposed Medicaid cuts in the GOP's menu of reconciliation ideas ($2.3T) make up over one-third of the total proposed cuts (~$5.5T).
But it's not obvious that you can just add these policies up in a 1+1=2 sort of fashion — the policies interact with each other.

This Cook Co judge has been potentially negligent in cases with two men -this year- who have made good on their domestic abuse threats and killed people, including an 11yo child. I think he's only been a judge for 2 years. Seems problematic. chicago.suntimes.com/crime/2024/1...
A man charged with attacking his wife was released on GPS monitoring. He is now suspected of killing her.
The wife's fatal stabbing in Portage Park came a day after her husband was in court Monday on charges he choked and tried to kidnap her last month. He was found dead later Tuesday.
