She reluctantly volunteered at a homeless shelter on spring break. It changed her life – and thousands of others Rather than hitting the beach for spring break in college, Brandi Tuck reluctantly joined a service trip, volunteering at a homeless shelter. A little boy there asked her to stay, and in that moment she found her calling. In 2008, she started a nonprofit now known as Path Home, that has provided shelter, services, and support to more than 10,000 parents and children in Portland, Oregon. Today, her group has a beautiful new shelter designed to help people heal from the trauma of homelessness and find permanent housing. CNN[1]
Murray: This isn’t a witch hunt. This is Trump taking classified docs to his beach house. Melissa Murray expounds on the underlying factors that led to Donald Trump’s indictment, saying that “the reason we are here today, with a former president being indicted in federal court, is because they didn’t do government the right way.” She also tackles one of Trump’s arguments against the indictment. “This isn’t a witch hunt, Murray says. “This is about taking government documents that were supposed to be the property of the American public and putting them in your beach house.” MSNBC[2]
Psaki: Trump is already fundraising off this — but don’t expect Biden to get involved yet Jen Psaki discusses the unavoidable political nature of the charges against Donald Trump in the classified documents case. “Trump is already fundraising off of this — or attempting to,” Psaki says. “Biden is an institutionalist. He believes in the separation of the branches of government, and I suspect they will be very limited in anything they say about this at all, especially in the short term. MSNBC[3]

A father, husband, son, and healthcare provider is being remembered by many after his tragic death Tuesday morning in Three Rivers.
Jesse Menchaca was driving home Tuesday morning when his truck veered off South Fork Drive through a gap into the Kaweah River about a mile from his home.
“I said I love you, get home safely. I asked him to pull over, I asked him to stop. He just wanted to get home to me and the kids,” said Stacey Menchaca, Jesse’s wife.
Stacey’s life completely changed after she learned why her husband never made it home after that phone call.
Officials say the truck hit a boulder, flipped, and landed on its roof, partially submerged in the water.
A tragic death, Stacey says is hard to accept.
“Because the question of why and how and could it have been prevented and every time I drive there and I see the gap,” explained Stacey.
Stacey says when driving on the road there is a slight curve moments before the bridge.
She also believes her husband was tired after a long drive.
“He was driving home from taking his mom to Mexico,” said Stacey.
Stacey says their two young children meant the world to Jesse and says moving forward she wants to keep his memory alive in the brightest way possible.
“His smile was constant, you never saw him without it. There was always joy in his face,” Stacey said.
Not only was Jesse dearly loved and happy at home but he carried his light everywhere he stepped foot, including his job as an ER physician at Sierra View Medical Center in Porterville.
His co-workers say the loss is hard to grasp.
A GoFundMe account[4] has been set up to help Jesse’s family.
