The Biden administration is laying out its plan to meet an ambitious goal of ending hunger in the U.S. by 2030, including expanding monthly benefits that help low-income Americans buy food. The administration, in a plan released Tuesday, is also seeking to increase healthy eating and physical activity so that fewer people are afflicted with diabetes, obesity, hypertension and other diet-related diseases. It said it would work to expand Medicaid and Medicare access to obesity counseling and nutrition.(Snip)Biden is hosting a conference this week on hunger, nutrition and health, the first by the White House since 1969. That conference, under President Richard Nixon, was a pivotal moment

Chelsea Clinton claimed during a recent interview that her family was “the reason that Fox News was created,” arguing that the network’s founder Rupert Murdoch had seen an opportunity and a market for attacks against them.
Clinton and her mother, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, spoke with entertainment magazine Variety about their new Apple TV+ venture, “Gutsy,” in a wide-ranging feature interview that was published on Tuesday, and the topic eventually turned to Fox News.
“Your family was the first great target of Fox News’ approach,” the interviewer prompted.

With six weeks to go until November’s elections, a new public opinion poll in the crucial battleground state of Pennsylvania indicates that Democratic Lt. Gov. John Fetterman is ahead of GOP nominee Mehmet Oz in the race for Senate, with Democratic state Attorney General Josh Shapiro leading Republican state Sen. Doug Mastriano by double digits in the gubernatorial showdown.
Fetterman tops Oz, the cardiac surgeon and celebrity doctor, 51%-44% among those likely to vote in the general election, according to a Marist College Poll in Pennsylvania conducted Sept. 19-22 and released on Tuesday. Among a wider pool of all registered voters, the survey indicates Fetterman with a 10-point 51%-41% lead

President Joe Biden used a Rose Garden speech on touting his work reducing healthcare costs to launch a political attack on Republicans, accusing them of plotting the abolition of Social Security if they take back Congress.
The warning is designed to win over older voters, a key demographic in November's midterm elections.
Yet he ended his political attack with an appeal for Americans to come together, forget the partisan wrangling and cooperate on bringing down costs for families.
Biden held the event to advertise that Americans will pay less next year on monthly premiums for Medicare 's Part B plan,

Harry and Meghan have been moved to the bottom of the Royal Family's website alongside the disgraced Prince Andrew.
Links taking readers to pages dedicated to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex had previously been placed around halfway down the page - below senior royals and above minor members of the family.
But after the webpage was updated following the death of the Queen earlier this month, Harry and Meghan have now been moved down below the likes of Princess Alexandra and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester.

It's no secret that the mainstream media and liberal pundit class are not fans of Florida's Republican Governor Ron DeSantis. From the day he took office, through COVID, and amid Biden's border crisis, the media has never resisted an opportunity — however frivolous — to attack the man known to conservatives as "America's Governor." (snip) But now, even the media has found another low with their anti-DeSantis attacks: salivating over the chance for a hurricane to devastate Florida and make its governor look bad.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) said he worries about Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), asserting that the Sunshine State’s leader is a “bully.”
Newsom traveled to Texas — notably one of the states subject to California’s ban on “state-funded and state-sponsored travel” — over the weekend, speaking at the Texas Tribune Festival in Austin where he further expressed his newfound obsession with disliking DeSantis. “I worry about Trump. [I] worry about Trumpism. I worry more about Tucker Carlson. I worry about Ron DeSantis. He’s a bully,” Newsom said, attempting to provide an example of such abominable behavior.

Staffers at the New York Times are openly discussing the possibility of a work stoppage as talks with management have reportedly hit an impasse over the union’s demands for a salary hike.
The guild representing journalists at the newspaper also wants management to commit to an 8% annual salary increase year-over-year for a period of four years.
But management has countered with a significantly smaller hike — a 4% increase for the first year followed by a 2% boost for the following two years, according to Insider.

Recent polls have shown the US Senate race in Pennsylvania heating up, with Republican Mehmet Oz in a good position to win if undecideds break towards the out-party, something that has historically happened in first-term mid-terms.
Meanwhile, Democrat John Fetterman continues his grueling, break-neck campaign of five-minute campaign stump speeches. The Democrat, who had a massive stroke in May after ignoring his doctor for half a decade, has put in some disturbing, uncomfortable performances over the last month or so, and Monday was no different.
Fetterman decided he’d try to rib the crowd a little bit by saying that the Eagles are “so much better” than the Steelers

A Polish politician suggested the United States was behind the sabotage of two Nord Stream pipelines linking Russia to Germany.
“Thank you, USA,” European Parliament member Radoslaw Sikorski said on Twitter, sharing a photo of the Nord Stream leak in the Baltic Sea. Hours later, Sikorski added a follow-up tweet.
“BTW, there's no shortage of pipeline capacity for taking gas from Russia to Western Europe, including Germany,” he wrote. “Nordstream's only logic was for Putin to be able to blackmail or wage war on Eastern Europe with impunity.”

California finds itself on edge more than ever with a lingering fear: the threat of rolling blackouts for years to come. Despite new power plants, building huge battery storage systems and restarting some shuttered fossil fuel generators over the past couple of years, California relies heavily on energy from other states — the cavalry rushing over a distant hill. Sometimes the support does not show up when expected or at all. That was the case this month, when millions of residents got cellphone alerts urging them to cut their energy use as the state teetered close to blackouts in blazing heat.
