I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.
certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

Brett Kavanaugh's behavior during today's second oral arguments has been incredibly obnoxious and rude. He is so eager to kill a service member's lawsuit against a negligent government contractor that he keeps interrupting other justices, raising his voice, and getting emotional. Weird and erratic.
Longtime Trump supporter: “I think deep down he wants to help the country with things like food insecurity.”
(Trump enacted the largest cuts to SNAP in history a few months ago)
Now says she regrets voting for Trump and wishes a Democrat were president to “protect benefits [Trump] wants to cut.”

![Hannah's mom, Betty, a 63-year-old recent retiree who is a caretaker for her daughter and a longtime Trump supporter, said she is losing confidence in the president she once supported amid the shutdown fight.
"I think deep down he wants to help the country with things like food insecurity," she said. "But now he is busy out of the country and demolishing the White House. I know that is being paid for with private funds, but those could be used to help people."
"It all seems very selfish," she added.
Betty Szretter said she now regrets voting for Trump in 2024 and would prefer a Democrat in the White House to "protect benefits he [Trump] wants to cut."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:drfb2pdjlnsqkfgsoellcahm/bafkreihyvn3jjcjcdv2c2a7hvwbvmjmtapemihu3dbvlijsep5eeeqjh7a@jpeg)
Another abominable editorial from the Wash Post

it's utterly wild how the Heritage Foundation president talks about other people

You can hit Trump and the GOP on much more than just healthcare.
“The poll also found a widespread belief that Trump is going too far in trying to expand the powers of the presidency, with nearly two-thirds of Americans saying so.” www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Poll finds most Americans doubt Trump’s commitment to free speech, fair justice
The American people also don’t seem to know quite what to make of the criminal cases against two of Trump’s perceived opponents.

Congrats to everyone who put Republicans in charge "for the economy," the first three quarters of 2025 already had more layoffs than any of the years in which Biden or Obama was President except 2009 (when Dems were still cleaning up the prior Republican mess).

Crazy how much some media has normalized the idea that voters are taking a risk if they elect governors/mayors who will defy Trump. That he’ll threaten their funding, etc.
Try to imagine, say. Greg Abbott being asked if he’s worried that Biden will punish Texas over his lawsuits.

"Hi, my name is Kevin Baker, I didn't read a single White House press release or CEA post in 2023 or 2024"
Missing from every conversation like this about this IRA is that absolutely nobody knew what was in it because the President was incapable of selling policy to the public. It's really not the job of the press to do this.

The welfare state is about dignity, equality, and making people not poor, but as @itsafronomics.bsky.social says/cites here, it’s often also an investment that more than pays for itself
Why should you 🫵🏿 care about SNAP? SNAP recipients saw:
- Improved life expectancy
- Lower chance of incarceration
- Lowers chance of poverty
- Lived in better neighborhoods
- Higher human capital
SNAP keeps our neighbors fed, communities safer, and kids educated. Also people are HUNGRY. DUH!
