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.

The 100 lowest-paying US corporations spent $644B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024.

Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay.

The typical worker at these companies earned $35k last year.

Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $17.2M

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations.

If you're 45, that number is 74.7%.

If you're under 28, the number is 100%.

Happy Labor Day.

Hot take: Not only are work requirements for Medicaid bad, tying health care to work at all is cruel and we should be doing it less not more.

Everyone deserves health care. Everyone.

MAGA influencers are out in full force tonight, making up things that were not in this resolution.

Congrats on getting your $4.5 trillion in tax cuts for the wealthy, $19 trillion in added deficit spending, and $880 billion in Medicaid cuts through this initial step, though.

House Republicans unveiled their budget plan this week.

Here's the summary.

Step 1: Take billions from health care and kids' food.

Step 2: Give the money in tax cuts to the rich.

Step 3: Profit.

WARREN: “If CFPB is not there examining these giant banks to make sure they’re following the laws and not cheating customers, who is?”

POWELL: “No one.”

Again — Musk & Trump & the oligarchy are killing CFPB because it protects you from them.
