How unfortunate for Pete Hegseth that the Department of Defense’s own Law of War Manual calls him a war criminal.

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.
