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?

Peaceful resistance
In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

John Fetterman survived a stroke in 2022, which would be considered a pre existing condition.
He has a defibrillator for vfib, which can cost $34,000 to over $51,000.
He was one of 8 Dems who voted to gut the ACA and reopen the government.
He doesn’t have to worry, he has healthcare for life
