While many of us were heading to the gym, embarking on Dry January, or trying to meditate, McDonald's was starting out 2026 on a particularly bad note. The fast food giant came into the new year with a lawsuit. Yep, in January 2026, four people filed legal action against McDonald's, claiming that its popular McRib is lying to everyone because it's not really made with rib meat.

Chiu's office also accused the nonprofit of hiring family members, including children of the executive director and vice president of the board, violating an anti-nepotism provision in a city grant agreement. Separately, San Francisco's Office of Labor Standards Enforcement started its own investigation after receiving complaints from employees who claimed labor violations. The city suspended funding for Providence to operate the Oasis Hotel and its other programs and threatened to debar it, permanently cutting off future funding.
