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?

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.
Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, does it better!💙
Baby, you’re the best!💙
Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.
Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.
They are not the same.
For anyone in SE Michigan, @sagelivco.bsky.social will be giving out free meal kits this Saturday in Howell. #snap #foodpantry #Michigan #howell #livingstoncounty #foodinsecurity
An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs.
Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.
Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.
Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.
This makes me wish I could knit!
Worth remembering…
Breaking on MSNBC:
Two federal prosecutors have been placed on leave at the direction of the White House after filing a sentencing memo seeking 27 months in prison for a pardoned Jan. 6 rioter who brought illegal guns and ammunition to President Obama's house in 2023.
I’ve sent my rep emails saying to get his butt back to work. This is not acceptable in any job!
SNAP exists because politicians take campaign contributions from large corporations in exchange for letting those corporations pay a poverty wage so low that it must be subsidized with taxpayer money, paid by middle class workers barely getting by—all so 700 billionaires can have a few extra billion
It is far past time to stop tip-toeing around people's feelings and start being upfront with members of the gerontocracy. Sometimes it is just time to take away the keys.

A tweet from BrooklynDad_Defiant! says: “No words. If you think a golden ballroom is more important than childhood cancer research... I have nothing left to say to you.” The image shows an illustration of a bald child in a hospital gown, holding an IV pole and looking into an opulent golden ballroom filled with formally dressed adults.
It’s more than just bad priorities. It’s about lack of basic decency.

We need a new generation of leaders who are the voices of democracy, freedom, social justice, & the rule of law.
A new generation that gives meaning to the “we” in “we the people.”
Instead of fretting over Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party should embrace him as the future.
Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance
