ACA Signups · Mar 13House District Enrollment: Oklahoma (now w/high-res PDFs!)Over the past couple of months I've compiled a master spreadsheet breaking out enrollment in ACA plans (Qualified Health Plans & Basic Health Plans), Medicaid/CHIP coverage (both traditional & via ACA expansion) and Medicare (both Fee-for-Services & Advantage) at the Congressional District levels. With the pending dire threat to several of these programs (primarily Medicaid & the ACA) from the House Republican Budget Proposal which recently passed, I'm going a step further and am generating pie charts which visualize just how much of every Congressional District's total population is at risk of losing healthcare coverage. USE THE DROP-DOWN MENU ABOVE TO FIND YOUR STATE & DISTRICT. You can find the data sources & methodology explanation links here. UPDATE 4/14/25: Scroll down for high-def printable PDF versions of each district!

The sheriff of McAlester, Oklahoma, sitting in front of the jail. He has been sheriff for thirty years

The image is a black and white photograph depicting an older man seated on a folding chair outside what appears to be a brick building. The individual, presumably the sheriff of McAlester, Oklahoma as indicated by the caption, has his left hand resting across his chest while holding something small between his fingers. He wears overalls with suspenders, a striped shirt under a white vest, and dark shoes. His right leg is stretched out on top of another chair placed in front of him. The expression on his face suggests contemplation or fatigue as he gazes off to the side.

The background shows an open space leading towards what seems like a fenced area with vegetation beyond it. There are no other people visible, and there's a sense of quiet solitude surrounding the man captured in this moment.

Today in Labor History April 14, 1935: The Black Sunday dust storm swept across the Oklahoma and Texas panhandles. This was one of the worst storms of the Dust Bowl. 4 years later, on this same date, John Steinbeck published his classic working-class novel, The Grapes of Wrath, about Dust Bowl refugees in California.

The "Black Sunday" dust storm approaches Spearman in northern Texas, April 14, 1935. Looks like a 100-foot tsunami of dust rolling through town.

From the Frontier.

#Frontier stated after publication 8 years ago they would do a follow up. Haven't seen it yet, but this original from them still hits hard. Go read it to get pissed off again.
