Advisers of President-elect Donald Trump are pushing to cut the U.S. budget by one-third — and women's groups are bracing for much of that cash to come from services they depend on.

“With this new administration that is coming in … I really am concerned about the lives of women. We are seeing so many policies, so many budget cuts,” said Christian Nunes, president of the National Organization for Women, in an interview with The Guardian.

Republicans now seek cuts to "Medicaid, the joint state/federal health insurance program for people with lower incomes; Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), a cash-allowance program that replaced welfare; and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (Snap), widely known as food stamps," the report said.

Conservatives say these cuts are necessary to reduce the deficit, make government more efficient, and even restore freedom. Advocates and experts warn that cutting these programs will "throw more people — especially women and children — further into poverty."

The report cites that Medicaid accounts for more than 40% of births in the U.S. It also pays for new mothers who have post-pregnancy-related care for 60 days. For seniors, Medicaid pays for 60% of all nursing home medical care. The report noted that more than 70% of those in nursing homes are women.

The Guardian turned to The Heritage Foundation's "Project 2025," a blueprint for the new Trump administration. Their economic agenda promises to improve "marriage and 'family values.'"

“Marriage, healthy family formation, and delaying sex to prevent pregnancy are virtually ignored in terms of priorities, yet these goals can reverse the cycle of poverty in meaningful ways,” claims the section on proposed changes to TANF and Snap.

The Republican Study Committee claims there should be more work requirements for TANF and Snap. However, considerable research proves that demanding more work requirements "does anything other than force people off benefits without helping them find employment."

It was close, though!

The Milwaukee Brewers took at a no-hitter into the 7th inning against the Cincinnati Reds on Friday night, with Gavin Lux eventually smacking a 2-out single into CF to keep that measure of futility off their ledger for the time being.

The Reds, you’ll recall, entered play on Friday having lost a trio of consecutive games by the score of 1-0, their shutout streak in single-run games the first such instance in Major League Baseball history since the 1960 Philadelphia Phillies. They even ran that to some 35 innings during Friday’s game...

...but the Reds scored a run on Friday! Two, even! An 8th inning rally saw Christian Encarnacion-Strand launch a deep fly ball to the warning track in left-center to plate a run via sac fly while Jeimer Candelario followed with an RBI-single down the RF line. That cut into an existing 3-0 Milwaukee lead, leaving the Reds trailing 3-2 with the 9th inning left to play.

Was there a run-scoring inning streak to be found in the 9th?

No.

Reds lost, 3-2, and fell to 2-6 on the season - once again tied for last place in the National League Central.

Other Notes

• Numerous members of the team’s coaching staff were sent back to the team hotel in Milwaukee prior to the game tonight due to illness, including manager Terry Francona. Matt McLain was also a late scratch with a ‘hamstring’ issue, though he did show up in the 9th inning for a pinch-hit appearance (thankfully).
• Saturday’s matchup between these two clubs will feature Brady Singer and Elvin Rodriguez starting for their respective clubs, with first pitch set for 7:10 PM ET. It’ll be on FanDuel Sports Ohio, but it’s also being broadcast on FS1 nationally.
