In Chester County, PA about half our our election work was delayed about an hour and half due to the bomb threat. Our team is back to full throttle to count in person and mail in ballots.

Never in my wildest imagination did I think the years of work I did with amazing advocates on the ground in MN to secure school meals for all would result in a moment like this. Amazing.

@JulieMasonShow1 Painful. Horrible lies from Trump. Biden did himself no favors. Just depressing.

@newskag I honestly still haven’t broken the news to our 5 yr old…she was so excited about them potentially being the “world champions”…I think she thought it was like being named princess of baseball

In 2002, the nonprofit @911day formed to transform the anniversary of the 9/11 tragedy into a national day of unity and doing good. Today, @911day has grown to become the nation’s largest annual day of service. Learn how to get involved: https://t.co/1PR7WAzxRd #NeverForget

I am. Devastated. I had been to a few concerts but was less interested by the party music or luau appeal - it was about the ballads, the simple beautiful songs that were the soundtrack of quiet, reflective moments by the water.

[Mayor Mark Freeman @CityofMesaMayor]

Food insecurity impacts people of all ages. I appreciate the organizations and volunteers in Mesa that help keep residents fed and healthy. Working together, we can reduce the experiences of hunger in our community. @nokidhungry #MayorsAlliance

[Governor Maura Healey @MassGovernor]

When school starts back up this fall, every kid will have a free, healthy meal waiting for them at lunch time.

[Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro]

No kid should have to sit through school hungry in our Commonwealth.

And because we funded universal free breakfast, now they won't.

Don’t let anyone tell you we can’t do big things in Pennsylvania.

[Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro]

How can we expect kids to learn math, science, and English when they haven’t eaten anything all day?

We can’t.

So I promised we’d fund universal free breakfast for every public school student — and that’s exactly what we did.

[Bernadette Downey @MsBDowney]

Congratulations to everyone in MA and the #FeedKidsMA coalition on the incredible job they did to keep the drum beating and get this DONE. #nokidhungry
