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?

Trump: "It's time for Republicans to do what they have to do and that's terminate the filibuster ... we should start tonight with 'the country's open, congratulations,' then we should pass voted ID, we should pass no mail in voting ... you go to a grocery store, you have to give ID."

There should never be shame in needing help from a food pantry. But this is gut-wrenching: working every day, not getting paid for weeks, and needing a food pantry you didn’t need before.
What’s shameful is that this is completely avoidable. Republicans need to get back to DC and negotiate.

Plus, what’s troubling about Maine’s Nazi tattoo flap.
The Founders knew Congress - especially the House - was the backbone of U.S. democracy. It should be a huge story that Mike Johnson, serving Trump, has all but shut it down
