While the McDonald’s CEO gets roasted for his awkward burger taste test...

McDonald’s is among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.

And McDonald's CEO recently raked in $18.2M — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

That should leave a bad taste in your mouth.

Under questioning by Rand Paul, ICE officials confirm that yelling at officers is not assault and recording officers is not a crime.

Dear ICE - There is no statute of limitations for murder. Law enforcement, including ICE, does not have absolute immunity. Presidencies end. Accountability does not.

"We applaud that California Attorney General's office has filed a lawsuit to uphold the law. However, it's critical to note that over 1,400 patients and their families still stand to lose access to essential healthcare services on February 6th. We urge the community to continue to speak out against the Rady leadership's decision to violate California anti-discrimination laws by abruptly ending care for transgender youth." –Brit Cervantes, OCGAPNet

“Nos da gusto que la Procuraduría General de California haya presentado una demanda para defender la ley. Sin embargo, es importante señalar que más de 1,400 pacientes y sus familias todavía pueden perder acceso a servicios de salud esenciales el 6 de febrero. Hacemos un llamado a la comunidad para que siga alzando la voz contra la decisión de los directivos de Rady de violar las leyes antidiscriminatorias de California al suspender de forma abrupta la atención para jóvenes trans.” –Brit Cervantes, OCGAPNet
