Alaska station that covered devastating storm cuts jobs
A public TV and radio station in Western Alaska serves dozens of villages damaged by Typhoon Halong. But with federal funding eliminated, KYUK makes severe cuts to its staff and news department.

Let’s talk about it!
For households with low-incomes, the rent is always going to eat first - with SNAP helping make up the gap. Without that subsidy, theres very little to make up the difference. Cant believe there's money sitting in the bank for it, but its not getting used 👀
It couldn't be clearer. The Trump Administration MUST use contingency reserves for SNAP benefits during the shutdown. It is the law & precedent.
The Administration's choice treats people like political pawns rather than people who simply need help affording groceries.

The Trump Administration’s assertion that it can't use SNAP’s contingency reserves for SNAP benefits is contrary to:
▪️The plain language of the law
▪️Their own (now deleted) shutdown plan
▪️Guidance from prior Administrations

Housing supply, subsidies, and tax credits aside, it always astounds me that more politicians don't run on a platform of "I will lower your rent"
So it turns out that Cuomo's slam at Mamdani's lodgings wasn't just a know-nothing misrepresentation of homelessness, rent control, and rent stabilization, it was also a stealth boosting of the landlord lobby's coming messaging on why rent stabilization should be gutted.
A top executive at the landlord lobby echoes Andrew Cuomo's call to means-test rent-stabilized housing.
It's a look into the kind of messaging the real estate lobby could use to try to undermine Zohran Mamdani's popular call to freeze the rent.

More than two thirds of New Yorkers are tenants. Andrew Cuomo compared them to hotel guests.
We need a Mayor who will bring our city together around an agenda to lower costs for everyone, whether they rent or own.
