The scene left behind by the Capitol riots was a devastating one. Smashed furniture, broken American flags, cigarette butts, and other debris were left behind by the mayhem. Rep. Andy Kim felt he had to do something. So he grabbed a trash bag and got down on his knees to help clean up.
Early Thursday morning, he decided to walk around the building, which was still littered with broken glass and debris. “It was really just kind of instinctual. I didn’t really think about it. I just wanted to do something,” the New Jersey Democrat commented.
New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy says Kim “represents the very best of New Jersey and our nation. A true servant who makes us proud every single day.”

Your two-syllable chant stands for “first-in, first-out,” and means that you should place items that were first opened (that box of cereal), purchased (yesterday’s broccoli), or consumed (Tuesday night’s leftovers) in the front, and their newer counterparts behind them.
The FIFO food method is important for food safety, but since it requires some initial reorganization of your fridge and pantry, it will likely help create more order throughout your kitchen. By using the FIFO method, you also will likely cut down on food spoilage. Here’s how to start!

Though Elizabeth’s body was found on January 15, 1947, by a mother and her toddler out for a morning stroll, her case remains unsolved.
