The Atlantic seems to be on a hiring spree. They could make up for the hires of the Jonathans Chait and Haidt by snapping up every Teen Vogue politics writer who got laid off today. Add some much-needed journalistic freshness and diversity to the bullpen there.

Silver plan with subsidy 2025: $135/month.
Same plan with a $500 deductible increase in 2026: $612/month.
Even the crappiest high-deductible 2026 bronze plan is more expensive: $176/month.
And no choice because nothing else covers a needed Rx. "Open enrollment" is a cruel farce.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.
The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.
They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.
Wanna fix fraud and abuse?
Fix that.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions
"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Don’t take it from me, listen to Snopes! Speaker Johnson signed a bill to cut $186 billion from SNAP. And again, it’s HIS party that won’t help millions of Americans put food on the table this month.
House Speaker Mike Johnson signed bill cutting $186B from SNAP in July 2025
Users shared this true claim amid uncertainty regarding whether Americans would receive federal food benefits during the 2025 government shutdown.

Q: Just last week a minister was shot directly in the face with a pepper round by a DHS agent that left his face bloodied. Are you concerned that this is a religious freedom issue?

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.
