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?

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?

If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder.

Black Friday $ sales are higher this year because things are more expensive. So consumers aren’t buying more items, they’re just paying more them.

The subtext in JD Vance asking for "patience" on the economy: When leaders stop talking about current conditions and jump straight to rosy forecasts, they’re signaling the present isn’t defensible. That’s your cue to scrutinize the numbers, not just the narrative.

Well, the case against James Comey was effectively dismissed WITH PREJUDICE because it can't be brought again.
Pam Bondi allowed the statute of limitations to run while her illegitimate prosecutor was wasting everyone's time.
You would think an Assistant Attorney General at DOJ would know this.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

It is a TOP priority of the GOP to get rid of vote by mail because they can’t intimidate and challenge voters based on race with mail in voting.
I wish I could believe that Dems will actually fight them on this, but we know Chuck and Hakeem. Whatever the AIPAC position is, is what they will do.
