As Donald Trump's shutdown delays SNAP benefits, California Volunteers and the California National Guard are on the ground to support food banks and families in need.
With expanded aid in San Diego, California is showing the rest of the nation what real leadership looks like.

so the WaPo editorial board won't do a presidential endorsement because they'd look like assholes endorsing Trump, but couldn't bring themselves to endorse Harris.
Now they're non-endorsing Mamdani—who lives in New York, not in D.C.—because it's important for reasons.

The Ku Klux Klan Acts (passed in 1870 & 1871 to protect 14th amend rights) were particularly focused on masked gunmen who violated the civil rights of Black people. We should remember this history when masked law enforcement ofcrs are deployed in our communities.

FYI, this works Gen X, too. I know we’re often forgotten about, but we also had a President Bush in high school, a war in the gulf, and current (1990) and looming (dot com) recessions. Our music was better, though.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

Just in case anyone wants a reminder of how Trump helped create the situation he's now using as justification to bomb Iran. abcnews.go.com/Politics/ira...
What was in the Iran nuclear deal and why did Trump withdraw the US from it?
Known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or JCPOA, the deal followed two years of negotiations during the Obama administration.

All you need to know about Trump at Fort Bragg, from @radiofreetom.bsky.social: It was a partisan, angry and grievance-filled ramble that encouraged soldiers to violate rules, regulations and George Washington's ideals. And senior officers didn't say a word. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

The White House Correspondents’ Association said it fired host Amber Ruffin so it can instead focus the dinner on celebrating the First Amendment.
Which apparently can be done best by preventing a gay black woman from speaking.

Profoundly disappointed that the man who stood so proudly for gay marriage is pushing my trans family to the side for power. You don't get to choose between the letters in our family alphabet. He's either with all of us or against us all. 😤

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why.
What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

U.S. Rep. Al Green — the former Texas Justice of the Peace who was removed from the joint session of Congress for telling Trump “You have no mandate to cut Medicaid” — represents a district where the president definitely lacks a mandate. Green’s TX09 district voted 71-27 for Democrat Kamala Harris.

The Speaker Johnson is telling Green to sit down. And now ordered the sergeant-at-arms to remove him from the chambers.
