If you have a second home in New York City worth more than $5M, check your mailbox when you're back in the five boroughs — because you've got mail.

Huge corporations like Amazon, Walmart, and Uber are among the top employers of SNAP and Medicaid recipients. Meanwhile, their CEOs are raking in multi-million dollar pay packages. How is this not a bigger scandal?

The irony is deafening.
Screenshot of a post by meowtown on X asking “who’s that behind you bro,” quoting a post by Acyn that summarizes comments by Marco Rubio about Cuba being run by incompetent leaders. Below the text is a C-SPAN video still from a press event at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida. Marco Rubio stands at a podium speaking into microphones, while Donald Trump stands directly behind him, facing forward with a neutral expression. U.S. flags are positioned behind them, and a banner at the bottom of the video references U.S. officials speaking about Venezuela and the capture of President Maduro.
