The Hound 11/3

Hi there,

It’s Monday. Today we’re talking about how SNAP benefit shortfalls are straining food banks nationwide, the flight delays tied to federal staffing disruptions during the shutdown, and more.

We’re also tracking how media outlets are treating airline chaos and shortage of air traffic controllers — and the need for rigorous coverage on the safety risk posed by the staffing issue.
