On this day 13 years ago, @WCKitchen officially formed...a small group with a very simple idea, that food can be an agent of change in the world! I never would have dreamed where WCK is now.. thousands of people believing that when you're hungry we must act now, not tomorrow.
Same people complaining about the scope of government’s authority are the ones telling SNAP beneficiaries they don’t have the right to consume fresh meat.
The GOP just proposed new restrictions on the types of food eligible for purchase with SNAP benefits, putting even more pressure on families with children.
In addition, they would aim to keep families with more than one vehicle from receiving help. 👎
Wow. This quote from Jacinda Ardern’s resignation: ‘Hope I leave New Zealanders with a belief that you can be kind but strong, empathetic but decisive, optimistic but focused...that you can be your own kind of leader, one who knows when it’s time to go’..
While I respect your military service and sacrifice to our nation, you do not have a pass to mislead the public. As a re-elected member of congress, you know that office moves are solely handled by the Architect of the Capitol (AOC). You know I had nothing to do with this.

People are still being bussed from the South American border to Washington, DC… Orgs like @samu_usa and @WCKitchen are leading charges to feed, clothe, and shelter the immigrants arriving in America: the country of immigrants!
I’m at Union Station, in DC, putting together a story when a bus suddenly pulls up & lets people off with nothing but bags in their hands. I asked if it was related to Governor Abbott & someone said “yep, Texas”. So, quick reminder, this is still going on: https://t.co/39HPLAYSuI
At Samu Island Condos, we are providing a transit shelter for migrants arriving to #WashingtonDC. With food provided by @WCKitchen and the local support of #CatholicCharities, they can rest, take a comforting shower and continue their journey. @samu_usa
I want you to see the level of destruction at the Kremenchuk, Ukraine shopping mall—it’s hard to find the words. 1,000 people were inside. Dozens killed, many remain missing. Firefighters and rescue crews are finding parts of bodies. This was a brutal act on innocent civilians.
