Retiring Walmart CEO Doug McMillon made $27M last year, over 930 times the median Walmart worker's salary of just $29,469.
Walmart's wages are so low that its workers are among the most likely to rely on SNAP and Medicaid to get by.

This is what Nicolás Maduro did in Venezuela. Nationalize voting, then clamp down on journalists and appoint only partisan judges. Becoming a dictator one step at a time. 🗽

After Missouri residents voted to repeal their state’s near-total abortion ban and enshrine abortion rights into their constitution, abortion providers still had to challenge a slew of restrictions. More than a year later, they're still in court. It's not the only state with this same problem.

Tear gas is banned in international warfare, yet classified as a “riot control agent” that law enforcement can use for crowd control.

We laugh, then it happens.
He promised invasion; he invaded.
He promised troops at home; they’re here.
He promised retribution; prosecutors and investigators are now targets.
He seized ballots; he’s calling to seize elections.
This isn’t bluster; it’s a plan.

Polymarket, the gambling app that lets users bet on just about anything, was being investigated for violating money laundering laws.
Then Trump became president. The DOJ dropped its probe. And Don Jr. (who was an investor) got hired as an advisor to the company.
Funny how that works, huh?
