This is what I try to always tell people: food banks can do way more with your money than you can, due to bulk buying deals. And they can do way, way more with your money than with the canned goods you didn’t want to eat
spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

Call your senators at (202) 224-3121 and urge them to publicly oppose Senator Lee’s S.2967, which allows DHS to build roads, land aircraft, and install surveillance technology across America’s entire 112 million-acre Wilderness System.

A reminder that there is a lot of ongoing litigation around the drawing (and redrawing) of congressional maps. My firm is currently involved in more than a dozen cases in 10 states: AL, CA, GA, LA, MO, NC, NY, TX, VA and WI.

Trump in Japan.
He has no idea what's going on, just wanders off.
His brain is cooked.
This is insane.

Good to see. This is such an important election which will impact all Americans and our democracy.
More than 3.4 million mail ballots have been returned in California’s Proposition 50 special election, matching presidential election turnout despite the esoteric topic of redistricting.

Who could have imagined that firing live artillery rounds over the planet's second busiest roadway might be a bad idea

Night after night in Ukraine. I can’t imagine.
It’s a strange thing to sit awake at night, watching the clock tick, waiting for missiles you know were launched to arrive.
You don’t know where they’ll land, or who they’ll kill. But they will land. And someone will lose this deadly lottery we are forced to play.

YES! Your calls are the reason why the public lands sale was taken out of the big, ugly bill. So keep calling, speaking up, and using your voice!
