🫢 😳 😧 🤢 🤮 😡 I have an even worse feeling about THIS:

2,500 pantries supported across the state $80M in state funds fast-tracked for distribution 390 @calvolunteers.bsky.social — with hundreds more waiting in the wings And National Guard men and women deployed, proud to be the good guys We will not just let Californians in need go hungry.

Rep. Rosa DeLauro: "On the food stamp issue, the money is there! Let them not get away with saying they can't do it. Their political will isn't there to feed the people who rely on the SNAP program which is the most effective anti-hunger program in the USA."

Complete disregard for human life

This is disgusting. Blatant corruption at the highest level in plain sight and Oversight Chair Comer Pyle morphs into a combination of Mr. Magoo and Sgt. Schultz.

And everyone who screamed about Hunter is silent. Endless corruption. www.reuters.com/investigatio...

Guess nobody told him.

Over the next few weeks, millions of Americans are going to receive notices that their healthcare costs are set to explode in 2026. Many more will log onto online insurance marketplaces only to find that they’ve been priced out of the coverage they rely on.

It is called lying www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

This is so fucked up.

Newsom: The New Testament and Old Testament have one dominant thing in common—Matthew, Isaiah, Luke, Proverbs, go down the list—it’s about food, about serving those who are hungry. It’s not a suggestion; it’s core and essential to what it means to align with God’s will.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 85th day out of the last 97. 12 days of work in over 3 months. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

We have never needed fearlessly pro-democracy media more than we do right now. That is why I started Democracy Docket in 2020 and it is why its 20 person team works around the clock to keep you informed today. Support its mission by signing up now. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

Hope you all are having a blessed Thursday

Here are the companies destroying the east wing of the White House

Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom

Hundreds of new homes for veterans are coming to California through voter-approved Prop 1 funding. 707 permanent supportive homes — including 231 for veterans — will be built across the state through the Homekey+ program. California stands with those who’ve served our country.

The so-called Homeland Security Secretary is a corrupt and malignant fraud. This video she sanctioned is fake. Manipulated by cowards who hide behind masks while violating the law.

Imagine thinking they ever cared about debt, fraud, waste, abuse, or anything of the sort. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/18/u...

I’m absolutely exhausted in the best possible way. I love us. We did it! #NoKings

If you are confident that a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, you stop it and board it. That way, you have evidence. If you don't really care if a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, but you just want to kill people, you blow the boat up. That way, the irrelevant evidence is gone.

They use govt accounts, employees & resources to make partisan political messages. They make partisan political speeches attacking the opposition party to troops routinely. They get pardoned when they commit crimes. They ignore the laws. There is zero congressional oversight.

Los Angeles came out in droves. #NoKings

An astonishingly large crowd! Chicago

As Californians take to the streets today to stand up against the President’s authoritarian playbook, I urge everyone to stay safe and demonstrate peacefully. Don’t give in to his provocations. Our strength is in our unity and peace.

There are no kings in America, and I don’t intend to bend the knee to one.

Best I've seen.

Just a bunch of paid domestic terrorists in Portland, Maine.

We stayed classy. #NoKings
