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.

Bernie Sanders did in fact find out about the attack on Iran during his speech in Tulsa. This is that gut wrenching moment when he stopped his speech and announced Trump’s post then informed the audience that we are now at war with Iran. Sanders made clear it’s unconstitutional.

The most inspiring chapters in our nation's history came when Americans faced down some of our country's darkest demons.
Those moments, like our own, were difficult to live through but also brought the chance to bring out the best in us, with enduring consequences.

For the exact same cost as the bill they actually wrote, Republicans could instead have written a bill that gave every household $1,790 per year (in 2025 dollars).
But they wrote a bill that leaves the bottom 30% worse off and gives the top 30% above-average benefits.

House Republicans passed their bill that’d rip health insurance from millions and take food assistance away from millions including households with kids as young as 7 in the largest Medicaid and SNAP cuts in history - while giving giant tax cuts to the rich.
Thread on the next steps of the process.

“I put safety first. Obama, Biden and the Democrats put policy first.” Um…trying to get rid of the air traffic controllers we DO have makes us safer how???
Air traffic controllers have been emailed by the Trump administration urging them to quit their jobs and take mass “buyouts” just 24 hours after the D.C. plane crash.
Trump Admin Emails Air Traffic Controllers: Quit Your Jobs
Federal employees were told they could use their paid time off to explore “dream destinations” before quitting.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉
