Withdrawing U.S. Force Pelted With Rotten Food in Northern Syria

"A withdrawing U.S. military force was pelted with stones and rotten fruits and vegetables in northern Syria on Monday, according to ABC News correspondent Adam Harvey. A video posted by Harvey from the city of Qamishli appeared to show three men throwing objects at a U.S. military vehicle. The Kurdish-controlled city is on the Turkish border and has been hit by airstrikes since President Recep Tayyip Erdogan began his military operation following President Trump’s order that U.S. troops withdraw from the area."

a Hawkeye State staple: the loose meat sandwich

First up, with many of the 2020 candidates in Iowa this week, we’ll salivate over a Hawkeye State staple: the loose meat sandwich.

Also known as the tavern sandwich, the crumbly, greasy loose meat sandwich was first introduced as a “steamed hamburger” in Montana in 1920. Six years later, it migrated east, emerging as a “loose meat sandwich” at the original Maid-Rite fast food restaurant in Muscatine, Iowa. An institution was born.

With ground beef cooked crumbled (not molded into a patty), sizzled with a fistful of salt, onions and pepper, and smacked with yellow mustard, it’s as much a pulverized hamburger as it is a “sloppy joe without the slop.” The fatty concoction is cut with some sweet pickles.

Along with the Maid-Rite version, perhaps the most famous loose meat sandwich can be found under a parking garage in Ottumwa, Iowa, where the Canteen Lunch restaurant has been piling them high since 1936. The squat, yellow building served as the inspiration for the “Lanford Lunch Box” on the sitcom “Roseanne.”

Earlier this month, I traversed Iowa tracking down the 80-plus family members of Senator Cory Booker scattered around the state. One night, with my dining options hobbled by an hourlong Booker selfie line that began at 8:30 p.m., I decamped to the basement of the St. Burch Tavern in Iowa City, where a Green Goddess salad helped assuage the guilt of my second loose meat sandwich of the week.

Loose meat sandwiches can be found all over the Midwest, but sadly, not anywhere near The New York Times’s headquarters. Yet." Strap Yourself In Strap Yourself In The 2020 election is going to be fought, and probably won, online. And it’s shaping up to be a doozy.

Food Stamp Rules Would Eliminate Benefits for 4 Million, Reduce State Autonomy

"The Trump administration has proposed three changes to food stamp eligibility in the last year that are expected to eliminate benefits for around 4 million people, or approximately 10 percent of those currently enrolled in the program.

The proposals put forth by the U.S. Department of Agriculture—one introduced last week—would by and large reduce states’ autonomy in administering the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, more commonly known as food stamps. The three separate proposals would create more stringent work requirements for the program, do away with automatic enrollments for those on welfare, and alter the way utility costs are factored into the benefit analysis."
