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.

Is there an amount of wealth you can acquire that helps you sleep better at night when, as a specially appointed official representing the US, you side with and embrace a murderous dictator like Putin? Does material wealth make Witkoff feel good about that? How much does it take?

Like he has no influence in this situation. What a sad, defective example of the human species.
The president and his special envoy are primarily concerned with finding a way to make Putin happy by providing a sufficient reward for his brutal and sadistic war of aggression. We have become a country that sells out our friends and embraces the worst people on the planet.

Once I reviewed the classified OLC memo last week—after the Admin delayed access—I felt disappointed & dissatisfied with the supposed legal justification for attacks in the Caribbean & East Pacific. I'm calling for public release so Americans can assess it for themselves.

This is a good point. (No snark.) I'm sure this SCOTUS sneers at Trump in private, but the conservative majority is trying to bank power for a better version of a right-winger.
They don’t want Trump to have as much power as possible. They want some future Federalist Society/Opus Dei-approved President to have as much power as possible. They’re willing to hold their nose and give it to Trump as a means to that end.
