Weekly Round Up: Grocery affordability, Frankfort is impotent and Free Speech is Under Attack
Send a text
On this episode, we dive into what’s happening in Frankfort, where the Republican‑led legislature has stalled bills that would help Kentuckians, while the impacts of last year’s so‑called “Big Beautiful Bill” are already being felt—most notably with the closure of a rural hospital birthing center due to Medicaid cuts.
We also break down why Kentucky now has some of the highest grocery costs in the country, how Senate Bill 72 would allow health care providers to deny care on religious grounds, and why so many Kentuckians oppose it.
And finally, we zoom out to troubling national trends around free speech and media pressure—while reminding you why independent media matters now more than ever.
