Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.

The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.

They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.

Wanna fix fraud and abuse?

Fix that.

I was so proud of Teen Vogue and their political stance. We really need to hear the media standing up to this Administration. And now...so very disappointed.

To call you stupid would be an insult to stupid people. I've known sheep who could outwit you. I've worn dresses with higher IQs.

I've given my new Senator a lot of shit on here. But I don't think anyone with power has laid out the stakes of what we're facing as clearly as she does right here.

And if she's saying this, it's because she feels she must.
