🚨 DOGE to terminate Erlanger, #Kentucky ( #Cincinnati, #Ohio ) EPA facility lease, which could impact emergency response times. The facility is one of only four in the U.S.

Inside is 20,000 square feet of emergency response equipment that can be sent out to #EPA regions or the personnel there can drive to a major incident such as a train derailment or pipeline break

Terminating the lease means the equipment will have to come either from New Jersey or Nevada which will increase the response time from just a few hours to 12 or more.

Celebrating a small victory!

I stopped using Amazon or Walmart for the obvious reasons. I live in a small rural town, so this has not been easy.

I found an amazon alternative to ship my hard to find locally (and not inexpensive) dog vitamins.

They sell at the same price as Amazon and offer subscriptions! I'm surprised at how much joy this brings me :)

In many Kentucky counties, 117 out of 120 of which are Red, the school system is the biggest employer.

It will absolutely collapse without the federal funds that keep them open.

All these people will lose their jobs, will only be hired back at sub-living wage rates, and the kid's learning will be disrupted for months if not years while the state legislators try to get fairy tale spewing for-profit scammers to take it all over.

Republicans dishonest use of bills by attaching things that have little or nothing to do with the original needs to be illegal.

Read about the for-profit school that ignores requirements: courier-journal.com/story/news

"Haynes estimated about 500 were previously home-schooled...Most concerning was student performance...Of the district's virtual third grade students, 9% were proficient in math, compared to 43% statewide."

From Kentucky State Senator Reginald Thomas: One measure the Senate took up was the second House Bill brought before us this session, House Bill (HB) 241. I originally supported this measure because it provided critical flexibility for schools recovering from closures due to extreme weather and other emergencies. It was a bipartisan and common-sense solution to help students and teachers. But what followed is exactly what frustrates so many people about politics. In a rushed, behind-the-scenes process, the Senate Education Committee altered the bill by attaching unrelated provisions to shield a struggling virtual school from oversight, despite its documented failures. This maneuver sidetracked meaningful discussion and undermined the bill’s original purpose, transforming it from a practical solution for lost instructional time into a protection measure for an unaccountable online program. Had the Senate received a clean bill that remained true to its intent, I would have fully supported it. However, I cannot support a bill that prioritizes political maneuvering over student success. As a result, I voted against the measure, which passed by a vote of 23-14. It now returns to the House with the Senate’s changes, and I urge lawmakers to remove these harmful provisions. If the House rejects the changes, the bill will move to a conference committee, where I hope we can restore it to its original intent and ensure it truly serves Kentucky students and schools.

This is absolutely outrageous. 🤬During a hearing on #SanctuaryCities today, Republican #JamesComer of #Kentucky refuses to let Democrat Congresswoman #AyannaPressley of #Massachusetts to enter into the record an article correctly reporting that US citizens commit #crimes far in excess of crimes committed by #immigrants. He refuses to even allow her to enter the title of the article. This is #censorship. This is #oppression. This is #WhiteMaleSupremacy. F*** Comer & f*** #HouseRepublicans.
