After a church in Muhlenberg County provided her with shelter, a woman experiencing homelessness landed a job just days later. While some are trying to help homeless people there, the woman says others in the community "try to sweep us under the rug like we don’t exist.” via @kentuckylantern.com

In Muhlenberg County – a rural area with few resources for people without shelter – a loose coalition of people are trying to address a growing need to help those experiencing homelessness. via @kentuckylantern.com

“You shouldn't be within a thousand miles of the directorship of the IRS.”

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear announced a mandatory evacuation tonight for parts of London that were hit by Friday night's deadly tornado, ahead of a new line of storms. From @weku.bsky.social

Another historic transfer of wealth from the bottom to the top

The Kentucky Housing Corporation says the state stands to lose nearly half its funding for federal housing programs if Congress agrees to the Trump administration's proposed budget.

It will be fascinating to watch everyone who acted like Biden was a socialist for lowering drug costs and stood by and watched as Republicans opposed him suddenly pretend this is a new idea from Trump.

A new documentary on the murder of Shireen Abu Akleh reveals that Israeli soldiers use her photo for target practice. This exposes the Israeli mentality that journalists are "fair game", and that the killing of journalists in Gaza is no accident.

The GOP wanted to impeach Biden for a fake $5M bribe from Ukraine that was made up by a guy sitting in prison for lying about it, but they’re cool with a $400M plane from Qatar. Do I have that right?

Up is down

Louder for the voters in the back!

“I think everybody on that Signal chain needs to be fired ... he's failing up ... I'm not open to voting for him, no, because he's already demonstrated he's incapable of doing the most basic thing—which is handling classified information.” Sen. Tammy Duckworth More here:

While previous cases have focused on blocking or undoing mass layoffs at specific agencies, a new mega-lawsuit filed this week represents the best shot yet at fully undoing all the damage billionaire Elon Musk and DOGE have done once and for all. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

NEW: These judges ruled against Trump. Then their families came under attack. My latest with @nedmparker1.bsky.social @bypetereisler.bsky.social @lindasoreports.bsky.social @nateraymond.bsky.social www.reuters.com/investigatio...

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, the Supreme Court’s newest member, denounced on Thursday what she described as "relentless attacks" on judges, and an environment of harassment that "ultimately risks undermining our Constitution and the rule of law."

Nearly three dozen Appalachian advocacy groups wrote a letter to Congress saying “devastating” federal cuts are putting their towns at risk. From @justinhicks.lpm.org of KPR:

Did you think we wouldn’t notice, Fox?

Evangelicals are raised in a religion that demands they acquiesce to an authoritarian. Whether it’s their father, their pastor, or their president — they are indoctrinated to submit.

Amazon had plans to show customers how much Trump tariffs are raising prices. Then Bezos got on the phone with Trump and reversed course. What happened in that call? I'm pressing for answers.

In Oklahoma, children will be taught that the 2020 election was stolen.

“Also, we’re ending the environmental and regulatory standards”

•••••UPDATE••••• The U.S. Department of Homeland Security now admits they made an error in raiding the Oklahoma City home of a mom and her three daughters. 20 federal agents, including ICE, the FBI, and U.S. Marshals, raided the home, held the family at gunpoint, and seized their…

Again, my wife lost her excellent job at a nonprofit Seattle hospital because the trump administration simply stopped paying medicaid reimbursements at the beginning of the year, throwing it into complete financial turmoil the cuts are already here

If you thought you'd heard the last of Kim Davis, the Ky clerk who defied a court order to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, guess again Liberty Counsel says it'll ask SCOTUS to review whether the 1st Amendment shields her from damages. Circuit Court of Appeals already turned her down

WATCH: Rep. @brotherjones.bsky.social says Dems are here at the Casada Corruption trial to shine a light on the fact that it isn’t about ex Republican speaker Casada, or current speaker Sexton testifying against him — it’s about a system that empowers Republican to run TN “like a circus”

MEMPHIS VS. MUSK: “XAI’s reps have avoided the public, leaving city officials & @MemphisChamber to explain how it will benefit the city. For residents it feels like a familiar pattern of environmental racism that has targeted the community for decades.” mlk50.com/2025/04/25/s...

Wait until he hears about the J6 rioters! Oh, that’s right, he raised money for them and supported the pardons of these violent lawbreakers.

Rural hospitals will shut down. Disabled kids will lose therapists. Families will be stranded without care. All so Republicans can hand out more tax cuts to billionaires who don’t need it! This isn’t policy—it’s cruelty. Medicaid Cuts Kill‼️

From @tnedreport — NORTH DAKOTA just killed the voucher scam there. Sadly @govbilllee got his passed in Tennessee, where school privatizers are having a feeding frenzy. open.substack.com/pub/theeduca...

Not a proper noun to be had. He could be talking about dinner, or a vacation, or a hangnail.

Trump administration faces suit over withheld family planning funds. Kentucky among states where Title X family planning grants have been reduced, says suit. @jennifershutt.bsky.social kentuckylantern.com/2025/04/24/r...

Previous to the FDA, folks would put chalk and plaster of Paris in milk to make it appear white. They could also add formaldehyde to cover the smell and taste of spoiled milk.

HARVARD: “An absolute outright effort by Trump to take over federally what is taught on American campuses.”

This is some bullshit.

As a result of staff and budget cuts under Trump, the FDA is also suspending its Food Emergency Response Network — a key food safety program that tests for pathogens and contaminants in order to prevent food-borne illness. Tell me how this will "make America healthy again"?

We need an immediate ceasefire, the release of all hostages, more humanitarian aid for civilians in Gaza, and a lasting two-state solution for Israelis and Palestinians. #Debate2025

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.
