SEN. KELLY : “They informed me of this in a tweet because this is not about the law. This is about the media cycle, and intimidation… We basically repeated the uniform code of military justice, and they're saying that's in violation of it. It's absurd. Comical.”

Tyson is one of just a few companies that controls the entire meat market.
Just last month, it paid $85M to settle charges it illegally conspired with other meatpackers to raise pork prices.
Corporate monopolies are great for executives and a raw deal for everyone else.

Tyson CEO Donnie King made $22.7 million last year.
The week before Thanksgiving, he told 3,200 workers in Lexington, Nebraska that they're losing their jobs.

Marjorie Taylor Greene's resigning in time to get a pension is a lesson to everyone.
Most Americans don't get *any* pension anymore, but Congress gave itself a pension after only five years of work.
Our "representatives" aren't working for us, they are [barely] working for themselves.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.
