It’s unacceptable that a corporation can pay their CEO 6,666x what the average worker is paid, while those same workers need food assistance to make ends meet.
Starbucks @sbworkersunited.org baristas deserve better. We stand with them in their fight for a fair contract.

"Between low wages and insufficient hours, many baristas are barely getting by. Some are relying on SNAP or Medicaid to help make ends meet while a multibillion-dollar company profits off our labor."

I think the Greenland threat is a troll. I think.
But it would sure be nice for some senators and GOP house members to speak up now and make it clear that an attack on a nato ally would lead to removal from office

The GOP’s health care “plan” does nothing for millions who will see their health insurance premiums go through the roof in January. Facing a choice between seeing the doctor and paying your rent is appalling but that’s life in Trump’s America.

218 members signed the discharge petition to force a vote to extend ACA tax credits.
If Speaker Johnson refuses to bring forth the vote, he’s telling the American people loud and clear that rising health care costs are acceptable to him.

In case you’re wondering why Pete Hegseth is freaking out about a congressional video reminding the military not to participate in illegal orders:
To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" — presumably uniformed military leaders — are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.
Textbook war crime/extrajudicial killing
"Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck. The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack ... ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions."

They were dismissed because Trump illegally installed a totally unqualified loyalist to prosecute them.
