  7. Under #Project2025, states would also be allowed adopt
    💥work requirements for people to receive Medicaid benefits
    and "more robust eligibility determinations" for people to qualify for coverage.

    🔥Ending student debt relief

    The plan's architects propose ending all "time-based and occupation-based student loan forgiveness."

    That includes the Public Service Loan Forgiveness ( #PSLF ) program, which allows public employees, such as teachers, firefighters, members of law enforcement, and people who work for nonprofit organizations, to apply for forgiveness after they make 10 years' worth of payments.

    Biden's loan forgiveness efforts would be repealed, though Project 2025 does not specify if or how that would affect the over 4 million borrowers who have already been approved for forgiveness.

    Context: Republicans have cast Biden's cancellation effort as an unconstitutional giveaway and have fought to have his signature debt relief program overturned by the courts.

    🔥Defunding public broadcasting

    Project 2025 calls for defunding the Corporation for Public Broadcasting ( #CPB ), which has long been a Republican target.

    Its $500 million annual appropriation from the government helps support over 1,500 locally controlled and operated public television and radio stations that ensure Americans have universal access to free non-commercial, local public media.

    Defunding CPB "would severely diminish, if not destroy, public broadcasting service in the United States," according to consulting firm Booz Allen Hamilton in a 2017 report,
    which added that "noncommercial radio and television stations in many localities would struggle to survive."

    🔥Banning adult entertainment

    Kevin Roberts, president of the Heritage Foundation, writes in Project 2025's foreword:
    "Pornography should be outlawed. The people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned."

    Roberts also calls for telecommunications companies that distribute porn to "be shuttered."

    "It has no claim to First Amendment protection," Roberts writes of adult entertainment.

    Reality check: Prohibiting porn would challenge decades of free speech precedent.

    Courts, including the Supreme Court, have long held that adult entertainment is protected by the First Amendment so long as children are not involved
    and it is not obscene as defined by the Miller test, according to the Department of Justice.

  15. New ‘Acme Weather’ app from Dark Sky creators wants to fix weather apps’ biggest problem - 9to5Mac
    'The Dark Sky team has launched a new weather app called "Acme Weather" for iPhone, aiming to address forecast uncertainty by offering multiple alternative predictions instead of a single forecast. Inspired by their experience with Dark Sky, which was acquired and shut down by Apple, the app incorporates advanced data sources and features like community reporting and detailed maps. Acme Weather is available for $25 annually with a two-week free trial, and an Android version is planned for the future.'
