A friendly reminder that tonight we "fall back" one hour. While setting clocks that don't do it on their own, change your smoke detector & NOAA Weather Radio batteries too!

Graphic with fall leaves reminding viewers that Daylight Saving Time ends at 2 a.m. on Sunday, November 2, 2025. Text says ‘It’s time to fall back, not fall behind.’ A clock shows turning time back one hour. Tips include replacing batteries in smoke and CO detectors and NOAA Weather Radios, and restocking your vehicle’s emergency kit. NOAA and National Weather Service logos appear at the bottom.

"It was not an accident."

Retired U.S. Colonel Steve Gabavics investigated the killing of Palestinian American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh and says the final report was watered down by the Biden administration to avoid blaming an Israeli soldier for intentionally killing her.

ICE agents mistakenly identified a Durango father when they pulled him over this week, a senior enforcement official testified in court today, but still arrested the man and his 2 kids in an incident that quickly sparked protests in the Colorado mountain town // Story by @sethklamann.bsky.social

I just spoke with Capital Area Food Bank CEO Radha Muthiah about how they are preparing for a possible lapse in SNAP funding. She told me that for every meal they provide, SNAP provides *nine*.

"The magnitude of the SNAP program is significant," she says.

Martin Austermuhle @maustermuhle.bsky.social · 6d

Today @mayorbowser.dc.gov says no final decision has been made yet on whether D.C. will cover the cost of SNAP benefits should federal funding lapse this weekend as expected. She's waiting for the outcome of a court hearing on a lawsuit filed by 25 states (including D.C.) on it.

Using body composition or anything else to decide who deserves food is eugenics. And that number the answer to anything.

Everyone deserves the amount of tasty, nutritious food that they want for their body. Yes, that includes treats. No, their size has nothing to do with it. It's a basic bodily autonomy issue. No one should be too poor to eat the food they want.

they do understand. they don’t care. that’s the difference.

Are you people fucking kidding me with this shit @washingtonpost.com www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

At the same time, there are legitimate debates about the best ways to feed the needy, how many should qualify and how much they should get. In the 1970s, 1 in 50
Americans received food stamps. Now, 1 in 8 do. On average, these households get $322 a month. Are 42 million Americans really in such danger of suffering malnutrition that the federal government should spend about $100 billion every year

Certainly, many need the help. The American Enterprise Institute's Kevin Corinth estimates that 2.9 million individuals willbe pushed into poverty if SNAP benefits are not paid in November, including 1.1 million children, 1.3 million working-age adults and about 500,000 seniors.
But no one should aspire for large segments of the population to depend on government handouts. The program could certainly be designed better to not discourage work.
Ultimately, the best way to help over the long run is to grow the economy, which leads to job creation and rising wages.
