Thank you to Judge John McConnell and Judge Indira Talwani For Ruling Against Chump,
And For Funding SNAP.......

Obama’s stumping for Democrats. Trump’s at Mar-a-Lago. "If you believe in that better story of America," the former president told a rally ahead of Tuesday's elections, "don’t sit this one out. Vote ."

Where’s Obama, you ask? The better question may be, where’s Trump?

At a time when our politics feels broken, we need leaders like @mikiesherrill.bsky.social for Governor.

Mikie will work to create jobs, lower costs, and do what’s right for the people of New Jersey.

I was just watching and listening to Obama talking from his heart about the horrible mistake that testing nuclear weapons did to American lands, ocean and people's and how it sends shock waves to all countries that we have reduced nuclear proliferation since 1992 making world safer
We can't go back

Speaker Johnson: Federal employees aren’t being paid. Nutrition cuts may cause children to go hungry. Millions are seeing their health premiums soar.

End the 6 week paid vacation you’ve taken. Join your Democratic colleagues and negotiate an end to this shutdown.

Top researchers consider leaving U.S. amid funding cuts: 'The science world is ending' A poll from the journal Nature found that 75% of researchers in the U.S. are considering leaving the country. That includes a man who’s been dubbed the "Mozart of Math." Stephanie Sy examines what’s b...

The US funds the bulk of biomedical research globally by far. It's not like other countries can simply take up the slack. The more likely: people leave research, new people don't become researchers. There is no happy ending. www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...

Newsom: "He is not screwing around. He's changing the rules. He's rigging the game because he knows he'll lose if all things are equal. He did not expect California to fight fire with fire."

It’s funny to think that the masked ICE Agents terrorizing communities are the same folks that spent two years saying they couldn’t breathe with a mask on.

TIME’S RUNNING OUT‼️

They count on us not showing up. Vote #YesOnProp50 — get your ballot in by Nov 4

Adelita Grijalva now holds the record for longest delay between winng a special Congressional election and being sworn into office.

Why the delay from Mike Johnson?

Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

A lot is happening right now. Make a note to yourself to remember, heading into the midterm elections in a year, that GOP senators & reps asking you to vote for them were willing to starve their constituents—your friends, family, maybe even you—for Trump.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

Ceausescu made menus for his dogs while his people starved.

When his goons killed students - THEN the people threw him out of Romania.

And so began the domino effect - the Berlin wall fell & the Iron Curtain disintegrated.

Take courage, fellow citizens. We can regain our democracy!

In Big Win for Voters and Democrats, Court Blocks Trump’s Demand for Voter ID on Registration Form Read more here.

🚨BREAKING: Democrats won a major legal victory Friday as a federal district court permanently enjoined the U.S. Election Assistance Commission from implementing the provision in Donald Trump’s executive order demanding a proof-of-citizenship requirement on the federal voter registration form.

Truth!

FBI: "We didn't zip tie children."

REPORTER: "Here's a photo of a zip tied 14 year old."

FBI" "OK, we didn't zip tie YOUNG children."

Donald Trump needs to release SNAP funding immediately. Do what's right, for once.

California will keep fighting to make sure Trump doesn't force millions of Americans to go hungry by illegally withholding federal food benefits.

More than 47 million Americans — including one in five children — don’t have reliable, affordable access to nutritious food. And as the cost of living skyrockets, more families are depending on SNAP benefits, or food stamps, to put food on the table.

One Halloween I dressed up as the GOP's Healthcare plan.

I never made it out of the House.

Thanks to everyone who came to our office to donate blood and join the bone marrow registry this Halloween!

We gave away over 100 hot dogs, 15 pounds of candy, signed up 50 people for the bone marrow registry, and collected 28 units of blood —which is more blood than in three people’s bodies!
