What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Governor Sarah Sanders approved a $5 million bridge loan to Delta Peanut after a federal bond loss threatened nearly 80 percent of the Arkansas peanut crop and 90 growers. Separately, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear urged the state's Congressional Delegation to back the Support Our Miners Act, which would raise black lung benefits to match inflation. The CDC also reported a high number of hepatitis A cases associated with Cuba.
