Amazon, Temu and other e-commerce sides hawk "No Kings" merch

"No Kings" merchandise is cropping up for sale on Amazon, Temu and other online retailers ahead of the planned nationwide protests against the Trump administration scheduled for Saturday. Hundreds of t-shirts, hats, signs and posters are for sale across the internet alluding to the demonstrations. On China-based a seller shipping goods from a U.S.-based warehouse offers a t-shirt reading "No Kings in America" and featuring the statue of liberty and American flag for $5.20. On Amazon, a search for No Kings yielded 1,000 results. Much of the merchandise available on the e-commerce giant's site is printed on demand, meaning not in stock. Sellers print t-shirts or make the goods as soon as they are ordered to avoid sitting on unwanted inventory. A wide variety of posters and yard signs are also available for sale on Esty's website. Walmart, which has distanced itself from an ad promoting No Kings day that was funded by Walmart heiress Christy Walton, offers a more limited amount of merchandise related to the events on its website. It's common for sellers to quickly mock up merchandise tied to current events. For example, retailers were quick to start selling apparel featuring images of President Trump with a bloodied ear after he was shot at a rally last year in an assassination attempt. The No Kings protests are scheduled to coincide with a military parade in Washington, D.C., to celebrate the army's 250th anniversary. "In America, we don't do kings," the No Kings website reads. "They've defied our courts, deported Americans, disappeared people off the streets, attacked our civil rights, and slashed our services. The corruption has gone too. far. [cq] No thrones. No crowns. No kings."

SNAP Recipients Get Extra Money This Month in California

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) recipients in California will be getting some extra money this month. Why It Matters More than 40 million low-income Americans benefit from SNAP, which allows them to use EBT cards on qualifying food purchases at their local grocery stores. During the summer, SNAP recipients may face additional financial hardship as children no longer benefit from free or reduced lunch that's offered at public schools. The extra money in California's SNAP benefits this month could mark the difference between a child going hungry or not. What To Know Roughly 4 million California children are set to receive automatic "SUN Bucks" food benefits via an EBT card that will be mailed out later this month. The food benefits are an extra $120, with additional grocery funds going out in monthly $40 installments through the fall. "We are proud that California was one of the first states in the nation to launch this new federal program last year, which is helping families in need across California," California Department of Social Services (CDSS) Director Jennifer Troia said in a statement. "Last year, nearly $500 million in food purchases were made using SUN Bucks food benefits by families and caregivers in California." Households are automatically enrolled if their child receives free or reduced-price school meals or if the family already receives CalFresh, California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids or Medi-Cal benefits. Children in foster care, experiencing homelessness, or part of a migrant family are also automatically enrolled. Children who aren't automatically enrolled can apply by submitting a school mail application or Universal Benefits Application to their school by September 2.

RONALDO SCHEMIDT/AFP via Getty Images What People Are Saying Alex Beene, a financial literacy instructor for the University of Tennessee at Martin, told Newsweek: "While most students look forward to summer break, for some, the period is not without hardships. For some children, accessibility to affordable food may present problems. Under SNAP, California has developed a system for the summer months where SUN bucks are issued to help eligible families cover the costs of some food purchases." Kevin Thompson, the CEO of 9i Capital Group and the host of the 9innings podcast, told Newsweek: "This will definitely help, although you are only providing $6/day to feed an eligible individual based on a 20/day month. Many won't see this as enough but it definitely helps." What Happens Next? All "SUN Bucks" cards should be sent by the end of July. All SUN Bucks funds must be used within 122 days. "This extra funding ensures children who receive free or reduced meals during the school year can be provided for at the dinner table during the months when classes aren't in session," Beene said. "California is not alone in this, as other states have attempted similar programs to provide meals to the most vulnerable during the summer months. It's a good trend."
