On this day 13 years ago, my only son was sworn in to the US Army. In ten days, it will be 12 years since he was killed in Afghanistan 2 weeks before he was due to come home. He was just 21. This week is also Memorial Day. My greatest fear now is that he will be forgotten. Please help me remember my boy during this tough week of special dates (share if you feel inspired. It never gets easier but the love and support always helps. ♥️🇺🇸 Jacob H Wykstra KIA May 28th, 2014 Maruf, Afghanistan Jake was a Christian, an athlete, a patriot, an artist, dog lover, a friend to all and the funniest, happiest guy in the platoon. Jake, you’ve left a huge void in our lives, but we will see you one day and there will no more heartache and no more goodbyes ♥️🇺🇸

Today, we recognize military spouses for their unwavering strength and support. Their sacrifices behind the scenes are vital to our armed forces’ success. We are grateful for all they do for our service members and our nation.

Actor David Spade raising awareness that a bill was introduced in California to audit where the $20 billion dollars in missing homeless money went, it passed but then Gavin Newsom VETOED the bill to block the investigation Yes, this really happened. He blocked bills for an audit MULTIPLE TIMES Bipartisan bill AB 2903 (unanimous passed 72-0 in the Assembly, 40-0 in the Senate) would’ve forced annual public reports on where the money went Newsom vetoed it. Gavin Newsom also vetoed similar bills AB 2570 and AB 2093 “The same broader problem with people paying taxes in California — The homeless, they lose $20 billion, but they want more money for it. That's why people get tired of paying taxes and going, what are you doing? Gavin Newsom just vetoed a bill asking for an audit of where the money for homeless goes. He said, not a chance. You're not gonna see that. That's the problem.”

This is true. North Carolina has taken veteran's kids scholarships off the table. It's disgusting

RT @boonecutler: North Carolina rips benefits from Disabled Veteran's Dependents! Disabled Veterans bring almost 8 billion dollars into No…

This is ridiculous! Is ABC trying to get our troops to break the law? What the heck?

Here’s our case that the Agriculture Department has the funds to keep SNAP going, but is choosing not to use them. (We're in court today.) It boils down to one thing: The Agriculture Department is falsely claiming it cannot use its $6b emergency fund to prevent SNAP from shutting down. Yes, the government is in a shutdown - and yes, the emergency fund would eventually run out if this continues. But right now, the Department has $6 billion in emergency reserves sitting untouched, and that’s the reason SNAP payments are about to stop. The Department is claiming they can’t use their emergency fund for this, but we know that is false for three reasons: 1. In creating the emergency fund, Congress was very clear: the fund is for use “in such amounts and at such times as may become necessary to carry out program operations.” 2. During the last shutdown, in January 2019, the Department said they could use the emergency fund for SNAP, stating that “limited funding is available from the contingency [fund] that can be used to provide benefits for February. This reserve is being used to fund recertifications and new applications through February.” 3. About a month ago, the Department published a plan for how they’d deal with a government shutdown, and explicitly said they could tap the emergency fund if needed. Read their words for yourself: "Congressional intent is evident that SNAP’s operations should continue since the program has been provided with multi-year contingency funds that can be used for State Administrative Expenses to ensure that the State can also continue operations during a Federal Government shutdown. These multi-year contingency funds are also available to fund participant benefits in the event that a lapse occurs in the middle of the fiscal year." But now - with less than one week’s notice - the Department has reversed itself and decided to let the $6 billion emergency fund sit on the shelf. So let's be clear: the Agriculture Department has the money, and they can use it to keep SNAP going. Their assertion to the contrary is simply false. That’s the basis of our lawsuit, and our first hearing - requesting an immediate order to provide the funds - is today. However, even if we win, it is certainly true that these emergency funds wouldn’t last long. They should be used immediately to prevent a hunger crisis for about 16 million kids - and 1.7 million babies - but the shutdown must end quickly or SNAP really will run out of money and the crisis will be unavoidable at that point. That’s the latest. More soon. - AG Jeff Jackson

We need to bring everyone inside and make sure they have adequate supplies. This is why people are angry over the response. This right here. The inefficiencies and foot dragging could cost NC lives.
