71 million views. Another brilliant PR move by the outstanding WH comms team. They owned the libs again by attacking and demeaning Sabrina just because she asked them not to steal her music for one of their sick deportation videos. Thanks for the new voters.

Heartbroken to learn of a mass shooting and the loss of four innocent lives at a family gathering in Stockton.
My thoughts are with the families of the victims, including the ten who were injured.
Closely monitoring developments about the suspected shooter, who still remains at large.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.
McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.
Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.

Tyson is closing a Nebraska plant that employs 3,200 workers in order to “right-size” its business.
The meatpacking giant paid its CEO $22.7M last year, 525x its median employee's pay.
It also spent $196M in stock buybacks to reward shareholders.
Textbook corporate greed.

Today’s dismissal of cases against Comey and James is a triumph of the rule of law.
Career prosecutors did their ethical duty, refused to bring vindictive and meritless cases, and paid the price with their jobs.

Impeachment isn’t just an option, it’s a necessity. I know firsthand the lengths Trump is willing to go in order to silence dissent — but is it working?
