Republicans, in their infinite wisdom, left a big gambling loophole in the Medicaid work requirements. I'm no fan of the gambling industry, but if you are on Medicaid and struggling to deal with the work requirements, taking a $580 bet on both sides of an outcome is one way of getting around them.

Sangare looks amazing, but I’m not sure that I regret going with Schade instead. The points weren’t there today, but he did look very good. I dunno, I’m still tempted to save the .5 and get Sangare in before the price rise. #FPL #FPLCommunity

From a Maronite priest in Lebanon: "In the south, we are the only ones left in these few Christian villages. As long as we are here, this land will remain Lebanese land. We are resisting with our living flesh. We have nothing, we are helpless, our weapon is prayer." www.fides.org/en/news/7750...
“We will stay until the end,” Father Toni told Fides, citing several reasons for the decision he shares with his parishioners: “In the south, we are the only ones left in these few Christian villages. As long as we are here, this land will remain Lebanese land. We are resisting with our living flesh. We have nothing, we are helpless, our weapon is prayer. And if we were to leave, southern Lebanon would disappear. I am certain of that. And all the hard work of our ancestors, who built these villages in a blessed land, would be in vain. ... These are the reasons why we are staying here.” Last week, according to Father Elias, “the Apostolic Nuncio, Paolo Borgia, also visited, along with the Maronite Bishop of Tyre, Charbel Abdallah, and a representative of the Patriarch. A convoy of humanitarian aid, organized by Catholic associations and groups, accompanied them. It was a testament to the unity of the entire Church, which we were privileged to experience firsthand, and it comforted us. The Lord created us as intelligent beings. But this gift seems to have been lost in this world, where only the law of the strongest prevails.” (Agenzia Fides, 24/3/2026)
