Republicans rushed tax cuts for the wealthy but delayed their cuts to Medicaid and food assistance. Why?

@kingcountymetro.bsky.social simple question with no hidden agenda: are you still sanitizing buses frequently? I ask because 9/10 of rides result in my catching a bug. Note, I'm wearing gloves so it's not a touching services issue.

Today, the House of Representatives voted to rescind previously approved federal funding for public media. Federal support for public media costs just $1.60 per person each year. Eliminating this funding would have a devasting impact on local journalism, video series, events and more.

In case it gets lost in the onslaught of news, today PBS and NPR are defending themselves before Congress.
If you’ve never seen this clip of Mr. Rogers advocating for PBS funding, I urge you to watch the full ~6 minutes. It’s incredibly powerful.
Here’s to the helpers, indeed.

When I was a teenager I told myself I would keep my life 'spicy' by cleaning the house every Thursday in the nude.
