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.

Do you think the Warning Coordination Meteorologist position at the Austin/San Antonio office was important?
He left in April, part of DOGE cuts,which offered early retirement to reduce the workforce. It’s now vacant, part of the strategy of reducing staff through attrition.

This so directly out of the Nazi playbook. The very obvious plan is to get rid of the independent accreditors and put all universities under jurisdiction of the federal government. This is how Hitler took over German academia and made it a wing of his party.
They're going after the accreditation of universities and threatening to revoke the ability of accreditors if they don't crack down on DEI and LGBTQ people in academia.

Days after "accidentally" firing nuclear safety workers, Trump and Musk have "accidentally" fired the people racing to protect the American public from bird flu.
This is stupid beyond belief. A better president would intentionally fire DOGE and everyone involved with it.
