Not coincidentally this is a pretty good list of Most Important Companies to Unionize.
The Boston Globe identified the companies in Massachusetts that employ the most SNAP recipients. A key stat: "In Massachusetts, 74% of working-age recipients of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program are employed, half of them full-time."

Federal immigration enforcement officials called off a planned raid on Canal Street today shortly before it was slated to begin.
New Yorkers who heard about the raid showed up at the garage where the feds had gathered, and as federal agents tried to leave, the NYPD cleared the way for them.

Chalk this one up to Trump surrounding himself with sycophants / groypers who can't / won't tell him he should not use that word. It gains him nothing—he already has the full support of the 'contemptible asshole whose personality is using slurs' demographic—while offending a lot of Evangelicals.
