Maduro shoves aside democracy in Venezuela

Today, the Arkansas House passed the "Private Option" expansion of Medicaid, over the objection of Americans for Prosperity and other national right wing groups. It's expected to pass the Senate. This is significant because not only is the Arkansas Legislature majority Republican, you also need a 75% supermajority under the dumbass Arkansas Constitution to pass the appropriation even though no state money is being spent and in fact, by passing this, Arkansas is in line to receive a significant amount of federal dollars for healthcare spending. Much of the organized opposition was from out of state.

The stupid part is that the insurance companies, who of course provide no actual healthcare, are now going to be able to get some of these federal dollars, but at least a number of working poor Arkansans will have some access to health care.

wow:

Former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford's ex-wife has accused him of trespassing at her home in violation of their divorce settlement, and a judge set a hearing two days after the Republican will stand for election in his effort to mount a political comeback by winning a vacant congressional seat.

Jenny Sanford confirmed Tuesday that court documents from family court acquired by The Associated Press outlining the complaint were authentic.

They show a judge has ordered Republican Mark Sanford to appear for a hearing next month, two days after he faces Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch in a special election for the state's 1st District congressional seat.

The complaint says Jenny Sanford confronted the former governor leaving her Sullivans Island home on Feb. 3 by a rear door, using his cell phone for a flashlight. Her attorney filed the complaint the next day.

The couple's 2010 divorce settlement says neither may enter the other's home without permission. Mark Sanford lives about a 20-minute drive away from Sullivans Island in downtown Charleston.
