“Hit The Road Jack” sung impromptu by boisterous thousands in Newark NJ at Mikie rally last night.

NJ can send a message to the nation.

In addition to L.A. food banks, pantries, community fridges, and other food donation programs, we see free Cambodian chicken rice porridge, kids goodie bags, and a program that allows you to buy a meal for someone at a growing chain.

BREAKING: Democrats just tried to pass a standalone bill to fund WIC & SNAP to make sure families don't go hungry during the Republican shutdown.

Republicans BLOCKED it. So Trump won't use emergency funds to keep SNAP running, and Republicans won't let any bills pass. Shameful.

Jimmy Carter sold his peanut farm. These corrupt nepo-babies have turned being “in charge of the US” into their own net worth infinite expansion. Every accusation is a confession. They stand for nothing but themselves. They are the worst of every dumb greedy American cliche. #tuckfrump #drumpfssuck

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Conducting a live fire exercise over a civilian highway is fucking stupid.

It doesn’t really matter if I-5 fell within the minimum acceptable risk threshold for the exercise. Those standards are designed for controlled environments, not civilian highways.

After a week of ridiculous Republican smears and Trump claiming that “very few people are going to be there,” you just made history. #NoKings
(around an image of the No Kings logo) IT’S OFFICIAL Nearly 7 million people have attended today's peaceful protests, which makes No Kings Day the biggest single-day protest against tyranny in American history! With more than 2,700 lawful and peaceful protests across all 50 states, No Kings Day was 14 times larger than both of Trump's presidential inaugurations (combined).
