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.

See the problem?

I really appreciate that @pbsnews.org ended the interview with this graphic.

It captures, in the simplest and starkest terms, the brutal arithmetic driving this country's homelessness catastrophe.

If you are a White House pool reporter and you don’t stick up for your fellow colleagues after Trump calls them “Piggy” or “Stupid” you are tacitly condoning his behavior and just as culpable at Trump.

Shame on you.

Walk out.
Speak up.
Don’t give him an audience.
Courage is contagious.

Trump has completely lost it. We are in a dangerous place.
WHOA. Trump says he will pardon Juan Orlando Hernandez, who once said that he wanted to “shove the drugs right up the noses of the gringos.” He had people killed as part of his narco-trafficking ring, which he at times operated directly out of his presidential office.

Oh swell.
Qatar has officially agreed to the US plan and has given authorisation to conduct airstrikes inside Afghanistan from its airbase.

These operations “are aimed at eliminating high value targets, including senior leaders of Al-Qaeda and ISIS, as well as terrorist training facilities”.

This was a fellow human put in harm’s way for no good reason. Her death is a tragedy. May it strengthen our resolve to defy this depraved and lawless regime.
Sarah Beckstrom's ex-boyfriend told NBC News she dreamed of becoming an FBI special agent.

She didn't want to deploy to D.C.

"She hated it. She cried about it."

But she started visiting monuments and museums and started enjoying it.

May she rest in peace.

Straight up war crime
Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes.

If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.
Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.

Hey Republican Senators and Congressmen, are you really going to just stand by and let innocent people be murdered so a dictatorship can take power over our country? You’re public servants, right? More importantly, are you willing to shame your families for generations to come?
Place National Guard in harm’s way for no good reason. Two members are tragically and unnecessarily shot. The reckless regime’s response: We’re sending 500 more National Guard troops! What a disgrace.

Term limits and no pensions. It’s supposed to be a public service position, not an easy way to become a millionaire.
...since MTG is resigning, now would be a great time to assess the pensions of all former government representatives...what y'all think???
