In the Sacramento region, the CalFresh pause has triggered a disaster response by one county government and the region's food banks. www.sacbee.com/news/local/a...

#SNAP “Requirements to increase staple foods come alongside the requirement for more items to be perishable, which will present challenges for smaller food retailers with limited refrigerated storage,” Cassandra Nguyen, UCANR nutritionist, told @cathiea.bsky.social www.fresnobee.com/news/califor...

Are Sacramento County supervisors doing enough to prevent homelessness? Palms tenants say they're at risk, and their county supervisor isn't providing the help they need. www.sacbee.com/news/equity-...

Gov. Pritzker has said all the right things, but now he needs to act and get these state troopers out of there.

At one point this guy is like “I’m not arguing the merits of it, but the politics” and why the fuck not dude?! Maybe the problem with the media is that you’re NOT ARGUING THE MERITS OF IF SOMETHING IS TRUE OR NOT

Literally last week every MAGA idiot around was insisting, loudly, how terrible it was that the Biden admin pressured YouTube to remove COVID misinfo, even as YouTube said it ignored the pressure. Those same folks will either be silent or cheer this on:

Very Trump-era story. 1. The sword has no meaning for Charles, but matters for the Eisenhower Museum. 2. Illegal for the museum to give away US property! 3. Trump makes no distinction between personal/public property. 4. The person who did the right thing was fired. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/02/a...

He is really a brilliant comic.

President Trump's tariffs are almost "tailor-made" to hit the goods that lower income households prefer to purchase, says economist Ernie Tedeschi of Yale's nonpartisan Budget Lab.

Any dissent will be quashed. If this regime advocates child molestation, then every one of its followers also must advocate that. If you do not, you will be considered a danger to dear leader.

Torres: If the bill is so popular, why are the cuts largely delayed until after the midterm election? And if the bill surgically targets fraud, waste and abuse, why is it necessary to set up a $50 billion stabilization fund for rural hospitals?

New in PN: The worst chief justice of all time "American history has no shortage of legendarily bad chief justices and disgraceful decisions. But John Roberts has overseen the wholesale corruption and capture of the Supreme Court, and history should look back on his tenure with revulsion."

Rep. Andy Ogles -- who apparently lied about his undergrad major, his fake graduate degrees, his past careers variously as an economist, a cop, and an expert in international sex crimes and so much more -- says that if another politician "fudged" about his own past then he should be deported.

Want to check out a book -- and a social worker -- at the public library? In a way, Sacramento residents can do just that. My story explains. Reading and subscribing to my work tells editors you want more coverage like this. www.sacbee.com/news/equity-...

Vinay Prasad overrode the recommendations of a panel of scientists who said that 2025-2026 COVID19 vaccines should be recommended for everyone over the age of 12 years. COVID19 remains a serious public health threat. He will get people killed. He doesn’t care. His ego wins, always.

All over the world, people identify Americans by their beautiful teeth. Those days are coming to an end.

My thoughts on SCOTUS' universal injunctions decision, a thread: Unfortunately there has been widespread misunderstanding of what the Roberts court did today. (1/x)

Hell-O-OOOOHHH!

Zohran’s victory is an earthquake. The left everywhere must dedicate itself to an insurgency against Dem incumbents. The Dem establishment has lost credibility w/ its base in the face of fascist threat. The base is looking leftward for new leadership. We are the opposition party.

It will be a small consolation, but if parents lose a child to death because of any changes, they should be able to sue RFK and the US government.

I didn’t have the Supreme Court destroying the authority of federal district courts on my bingo card. But in retrospect that’s perhaps where all this shadow docket decision-making was going all along. Really scary stuff.

ICE is a much greater threat to this country than illegal immigrants. The current administration ia by far the greatest threat this country faces. The problem is not st our borders. It is in the White House.

RFK Jr. is absolutely poisonous. He has now caused Dr. Lakshmi Panagiotakopoulos, the person in charge of COVID19 vaccinations at the CDC, to resign. She did so because RFK Jr. demanded that the experts in charge of vaccine guidance listen to him and not to the scientific evidence.

Minneapolis… San Diego… Folks are pushing back. This is only going to get worse.

RFK Jr. and the incompetent staff of Trump cronies put out a 78-page report about children’s health that cited studies that don’t exist. While they’re firing talented Black people in the name of eliminating DEI, the Trump administration has turned our government into a joke.

The Trump/GOP administration says it wants to increase the US birth rate, but it regularly announces policies that make pregnancy a death sentence for women. New HHS recommendations on COVID-19 vaccines are an example. Leading infectious disease doctors explain why: www.idsociety.org/news--public...

“I think this says that they will not tolerate us being active participants in our democracy—they want an autocracy,” Emily Feiner told Mother Jones. Meet the 64-year-old retired social worker who went viral after being forcibly removed from her representative's town hall.

The National Science Foundation, a major government funder of basic science research, is being shaken up with over 1,000 grants already terminated and the White House looking to halve its budget.

Fox paid a huge settlement for lying. The network is registered as an entertainment channel, not a news channel. So, it’s not surprising that viewers get complete fiction presented as news.

Abrego Garcia's wife: "I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive. Kilmar, if you can hear me, stay strong. God hasn't forgotten about you. Our children are asking when you will come home ... they miss their dad so much."

African Americans continue to face discrimination when their homes are appraised, so their homes sell at the lowest prices, even in affluent neighborhoods. They also could fail to get a lower interest rate. www.sacbee.com/news/local/a...
