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.

See the problem?

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.

AOC: “They’re making people undocumented by removing LEGAL status, then having the audacity to call them illegal… correct?”

@govpritzker.illinois.gov: “Taking their legal right to be here away.”

@aoc.bsky.social: “The Republican majority is anti-LEGAL immigration, I want to make that very clear.”

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.

It's Monday.
Another week ahead under our country's new fascist, authoritarian regime.
Do not comply.
Do not despair.
Do Rise Up.
Do use your voice.
Do actions this week to make the change you want to see in this country.

Musk, Bezos, & Zuckerburg next to text "Tell Congress to Choose Families Over Billionaires! Text TAXES to 888-418-5699

House Republicans' budget proposal would give $4.5 TRILLION tax breaks to billionaires & cut funding for our healthcare, education & nutrition programs.

This is so good.

Mitch McConnell: Tariffs "will drive the cost of everything up. In other words, it will be paid for by American consumers. I mean, why would you want to get in a fight with your allies over this?"

Project 2025 is here. We tried to tell you.

Federal agencies bar Black History Month and other 'special observances' A number of federal agencies have banned celebrations related to MLK Jr. Day, Women's History Month and other such observances to comply with Trump's executive orders.

We know Black history is American history thanks to generations of Black Americans who worked and persevered to deliver on the promises of justice and equality for all.

MAGA can’t stop the generations of Black Americans who keep leading us to become a more perfect union.

Happy Black History Month.

HE’S REPLACING NPR WITH BREITBART !?!?!?

“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???

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 📉

Absolutely despicable.
