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 β€” over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M β€” 930x the company's median employee pay.

See the problem?

A nationwide backlash to AI data centers is brewing.

And for good reason: while AI enriches Big Tech CEOs and props up the stock market, data centers are sucking up communities’ water and power.

When the AI bubble bursts, the rest of us will be stuck holding the bag. Be warned.

MAGA thought they elected Trump to save America, but instead he’s saving Argentina. $40 billion now going to Trump’s buddy Javier Milei, while Americans can’t afford groceries, gas, or basic healthcare.

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with one of his own states.

This is completely unhinged.

β€œTrump had nothing to do with Epstein”

β€œTrump was a confidential informant that helped take Epstein down”

β€œReleasing the Epstein files will destroy the Democrats”

Then why the fuck is Trump threatening to primary the Republicans who are trying to release them?

I hope people realize how absolutely fucked this situation is.

This isn’t normal. People are resigning all over the place because the government is mishandling our data, ruining our public health services, and generally making Americans less safe.

DOGE Is Trying to Gift Itself a $500 Million Building, Court Filings Show The documents reveal a DOGE affiliate is attempting to transfer the headquarters of an independent think tank, the United States Institute of Peace, to the government at no cost.

"DOGE forced out directors & staff of a nonexecutive agency and installed one of its own GSA staffers as president, and is now attempting to hand the institute’s $500m HQ over to the agency he came from at zero cost."

How is this legal?

This Good News For Us Is Terrible For Trump Onward.

Rep. Pettersen voted in-person, and gave a speech from the House floorβ€”all while holding her baby, because Republicans refused to let her vote remotely while on maternity leave. Rep. Pettersen shouldn’t have been forced to come in, but I’m glad we have a fighter like this on our side.

A few things the GOP thinks we voted for in November; higher prices, tainted foods, predatory lenders, hungry children, homeless seniors, compromised national security and a Dictator.

Are we going to do anything to stop the actual waste, fraud and abuse?

DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA.

Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps.

Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems.

See how this works?

This is what our Transportation Secretary was doing yesterday as planes are crashing on a near-daily basis. I cannot remember a more dangerous time to fly and yet this reality TV actor-turned-Cabinet Secretary is busy watching cars drive laps at the Daytona 500.

After watching this video, you will never look at a simple bag of lettuce the same way again.

The average workday for an undocumented immigrant is 10-12 hours, and many get paid below minimum wage because their employers know they are afraid of being deported.

How many Americans want this job?
