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?

This Nevadan is livid.
Here’s the list of the eight Democrats who caved:
⚫️ Catherine Cortez Masto
⚫️ Dick Durbin
⚫️ John Fetterman
⚫️ Maggie Hassan
⚫️ Tim Kaine
⚫️ Angus King
⚫️ Jackie Rosen
⚫️ Jeanne Shaheen
Their excuses don’t hold water. They betrayed all Americans who were counting on them to stand firm and keep fighting.

On this day 225 years ago, John Adams moved into the still-not-quite-complete White House, becoming the first president to occupy it. His blessing was carved into the State Dining Room mantel in 1945: "May none but Honest and Wise Men ever rule under This Roof.”

Folks keep asking me who I’ll vote for in 2028. The answer is whichever democrat wins the primaries. Hope that clears it up.

Could anything be more poetic justice than Trump losing the Nobel Peace Prize to a woman and a Latina to boot?

90-year-old Arnold Abbott was arrested twice in a week in Fort Lauderdale for feeding the homeless, jailed for compassion under a restrictive city ordinance. Public outrage erupted over criminalizing charity while he bravely refused to stop helping those in need.

Since men have done such a shit job of running this country for the first 250 years, I suggest letting women run it for the next 250 years. At the end of their tenure we can decide who’s better at this.
