If you havenโ€™t been to Stoudtburg Village near Adamstown, PA .., please do. German style village with shops, dining and residential. Just imagine how nice this looks during the winter holidays.

Food and your ability to obtain it should never be used as a politico weapon.

If you are a self-professed Christian and you want your fellow man or innocent child to starve because your President wants them to starve just to โ€œown the Libsโ€ โ€ฆ then you are not a Christian.

Thanks for attending my Ted Talk.

Heโ€™s more concerned about bathroom remodeling than your ability to feed you and your family.

Again, the starvation of the nation effective tomorrow is his fault. His fault.

If New Yorkers are so afraid about this โ€ฆ then why did the bodega union just endorse Mamdani?!

Itโ€™s time for a change. Not fear.

Vote For Mamdani.

REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): โ€œIf this is what theyโ€™re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilitiesโ€ฆ what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?โ€

An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. Itโ€™s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs.

Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.

Donโ€™t be angry at workers for using food stamps.

Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

In less than 48 hours, Republicans are going to starve kids and adults in America. Shame. On. Them.

Pennsylvania has an important Supreme Court race coming up on Tuesday, November 4. If you live in the Keystone State, or know someone who does, vote YES to retain three justices who will protect your fundamental rights and freedoms.

Karoline Leavitt officially announced the "Launch of a large-scale investigation to find the people behind 'No Kings.'"

I've saved her some time.

Early voting in the NYC mayoral election begins TODAY.

If you're a New Yorker, I urge you to vote for Zohran Mamdani โ€” the only candidate who will stand up to the oligarchy and fight for working people.

Listen to his inspiring words from primary night.

The fact that Republican and Democratic leadership cannot stand Zohran Mamdani is just the reason why you should support him.

Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics.

It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history.

It corrupts our political system every day.

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because itโ€™s even worse today.

Just got back from Shady Maple, celebrating both my Mom's birthday and my Aunt Linda's birthday. A good, fun time was had by all.

Happy Birthday to both my Mom and Aunt Linda.

Trump has shredded the Constitution. He's taken an axe to checks and balances. Now he's literally taking a bulldozer to the White House to build a ballroom while the government is shut down. When we say "No Kings," this is why.

As Hillary Clinton said on FB ...

It's not his house. It's your house. And he's destroying it.

Only I would hear a good song at Sheetz ... Shazam it to see who it was ... add it to my music library ... thinking it's new ... But only then find out the song came out in 2011.

Am I that far behind with music now?? lol

If the Hawkeye Wave during the home Iowa football games doesn't warm your heart, nothing will. Perhaps the best tradition in college football.

Bibi chose to sit on this so Convicte Felon 47 would get all the credit.

How many lives would've been saved if Bibi did this same exact peace plan with Biden??? 2/2

Reports coming out tonight that President Biden's Middle East plan was EXACTLY the same as Convicted Felon 47's ... but Bibi chose not to do it then, because it would've been positive toward Kamala Harris' campaign. 1/2

Bibi showers praise over the Felon while the US is fighting for its very life & its Democracy. What a joke.

Penn State approves sale of WPSU to WHYY WPSU had faced a wind-down in operations after a Penn State board committee rejected a proposed deal last month.

WPSU and the Penn State Board of Trustees reverse course ... WHYY in Philly to take over WPSU. Best case for WPSU and Central PA.

Long live WPSU, PBS and NPR.
