Happy Tuesday everyone grab your lattes and tuck into this morning’s AM Mix newsletter.

1. CBC is exiting Twitter over Twitter’s random new label

Twitter’s fiasco over ‘government media labels’ continues this week. On Monday, CBC confirmed that it was temporarily halting operations on the social media platform after it was labelled ‘government-funded.’ CBC of course for those not in Canada is the country’s broadcaster.

2. Republicans are trying to target food aid and Medicaid in their ‘budget cuts’ to avert a potentially catastrophic showdown over the debt ceiling limit.

Republicans are understood to be setting their ire on Food Stamps and Medicaid in their latest efforts to quash social programs in the United States. It’s important to remember that Republicans initially wanted to target Social Security and Medicare but after swift backlash, they ‘let up’ off of those demands only to encircle others. According to Huff Post, the new ‘plans’ include so-called stricter work requirements for Food Stamps and even instituting work requirements for Medicaid. In one separate proposal, Republicans want to extend the idea of an ‘able-bodied’ adult to someone all the way to the age of 64 and parents whose children are older than 6 years old.
