A new poll shows that if AOC would beat Chuck Schumer in a Democratic primary in 2028 by TWENTY ONE POINTS. I truly hope she runs for that Senate seat. His words and deeds have proven him to be utterly ineffective in fighting the clear and present fascist danger.

"Some National Weather Service offices, including Jackson, no longer have overnight staff from midnight to 7AM. All three Kentucky offices - Jackson, Paducah and Louisville - are short-staffed. There is no meteorologist in charge at any of the three offices..." www.kentucky.com/news/state/k...

Did staffing cuts at weather service affect Kentucky’s tornado response?
Due to staffing shortages, the National Weather Service in Jackson no longer has overnight staff. But NWS and Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear say the office was staffed Friday night and early Saturday.

Kroger is allegedly overcharging consumers by listing expired sales prices on shelves and charging full price at checkout.  And thanks to decades of consolidation, Kroger stores are now the only grocers in some rural areas.   Minimal competition means maximized price gouging.

60% of American households can’t afford a minimal quality of life. Meanwhile, the 19 richest households saw their wealth increase by $1 trillion in 2024 — the biggest one-year increase ever. Our problem isn't a lack of resources. Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.
