“Here’s the reason you can’t give them (the FBI) the benefit of the doubt. I haven’t been investigating this for years, and yet anyone who has talked to the survivors or the survivors’ lawyers knows that there are critical documents that people should see.”

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.
This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.
And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?
