Hey @ConsumersEnergy this is the 7th time we have lost power this year. By my math, that’s about a 63 percent chance of an outrage every month so far this year.

This is incredible! Appreciate states innovating amid federal inaction and chaos. @CherylOldham @CaitCode @USCCFoundation @lksmith1215 @BPC_Bipartisan Kentucky made child care free for child care workers. It's already paying off - npr.org/2023/10/06/120318213…

Statement by PEN America's @Shan_Jan: "Sweeping raid on The Marion County Record... almost certainly violates federal law... Such egregious attempts to interfere with news reporting cannot go unchecked in a democracy." pen.org/press-release/pen-am…
The law upheld by the court, he wrote, vindicated at least 3 promises: “the right of Indian parents to raise their families as they please; the right of Indian children to grow in their culture; and the right of Indian communities to resist fading into the twilight of history.”
In a pair of opinions on Thursday, Justice Neil M. Gorsuch again demonstrated that he is the fiercest proponent of Native American rights on the Supreme Court. nyti.ms/3CwZVwo

World War II veterans, officials and visitors are commemorating the 79th anniversary of D-Day on Normandy beaches to honor those who fought for freedom in the largest naval, air and land operation in history. apnews.com/article/dday-anni…

Interesting take that merits philanthropic attention. @CherylOldham @USCCFoundation @USChamber @BPC_Bipartisan @lksmith1215 @katie_beckmann @PackardFdn @WK_Kellogg_Fdn brookings.edu/blog/the-avenu…

A good example of bipartisanship in service of children and families. A happy Mother’s Day indeed @CherylOldham @USChamber @lksmith1215 @BPC_Bipartisan vtdigger.org/2023/05/11/brea…

Also the language below is intentionally misleading; this is not a state option as they are commonly understood in Medicaid.
States can't get federal $ for anyone who doesn't make it thru all these red tape hurdles. Expansion group is 90% federally funded so a huge loss of fed $

Talk about red tape and $$ for IT consultants and vendors.
AND this means people in LTC or receiving SSI between 19-55 are not automatically exempt; they essentially would have to get a note from the doctor that they are "physically or mentally unfit for employment". Yikes.

Reading closely text of Medicaid work requirement in McCarthy bill and this is kind of shocking: it applies to the entire Medicaid program ie c. 90 million people.
States have to check everyone and explicitly exempt them. It is NOT limited to the Medicaid expansion group.
Much respect and praise @ChanZuckerberg for funding Black owned media to report on stories impacting their communities. seattlemedium.com/data-shows…

Medicaid clawbacks potentially eliminate transmission of assets for low and middle income folks. This needs attention

Dr. Blank's four years serving in my administration was just one part of her extraordinary life. Whether in government or academia, she devoted her career to reducing inequality and increasing opportunities for others, and made everyone around her better.

This is the stuff nightmares are made of. If we want the government to play a strong role in funding child care as a public good this cannot happen. Providers have enough to deal with let alone not getting paid by the public sector. ny.chalkbeat.org/2022/10/25/…
My friend @noahgshannon penned this. Quite amazing.
For @NYTmag I traveled to Uruguay, which over the last fifteen or so years has undergone a remarkable green revolution, transitioning to 98% renewable energy. It's a beautiful fascinating country – and one I think offers a glimpse of a possible future: nytimes.com/2022/10/05/magaz…

Public funds can ease high parent cost and low job quality for teachers. This money would primarily go to for-profit, small businesses-the majority of child care providers in the US. theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv…

In his farewell address, 1981, Carter warned Americans to protect “our simple and our most precious possessions—the air we breathe, the water we drink and the land which sustains us….If we do not act, the world of…2000 will be much less able to sustain life than…now.”
Feeling @NormanJayMBE tonight. Ode to September from Barry White. Your tribute set to him from Giant 45 in 2003 is still an all time smashing favorite. 🙏🏼
