Donald Trump's puppet DOJ has no business screwing around with next month's election.

Sending the feds into California polling places is a deliberate attempt to scare off voters and undermine a fair election.

We will not back down. Californians decide our future — no one else.

This thug move by Trump has nothing to do with election integrity & everything to do with election intimidation. They’ll no doubt focus their bullying in Democratic areas. We will pass Prop 50 despite these tactics.

Justice Department says it will send election monitors to California on Election Day

The unusual announcement comes amid sky-high tensions between state leaders and federal officials and as voting is underway on Prop 50.

If you are wondering how to help people in your community, financial donations to food banks are incredibly important right now.

The USDA has instructed states to deny SNAP nutrition benefits.

As we have said repeatedly at Defend Public Health, MAHA is a joke when kids in the U.S. are hungry.

The United States Department of Agriculture has instructed states to hold the issuance of November 2025 NA benefits. Approved participants of the SNAP program will be unable to collect November benefits until federal funding is released to states.
DES will continue to accept and process applications for SNAP. Additional information will be provided as the situation changes.

ICE agents stormed an Oregon home without a clear warrant, pointed rifles at the family without showing badges, and held children at gunpoint.

This is terrorism.

This is a U.S. citizen being brutally abducted by ICE while his mom pleads for them to stop and the videographer cries for help. The Chicago police do nothing to stop it.

They will come for everyone, and they’re not even hiding that anymore. If you are not organizing and resisting yet, get started.

“Let them go a month without meals. Maybe they will get a job”

First, many SNAP recipients have jobs. They’re just living below the poverty line because of tremendous wealth inequality.

Second, many are disabled and children and can’t work.

Third, no one should starve to death.
