I know many of you cannot simply stop shopping at certain retailers, either because they're the only option, or because they carry specific items you need. But we can reduce what we buy, stop buying what we don't need, and support as many small businesses online. Together, we will have an impact.

Keeping this evidence of GOP pedophilia secret was the reason Republicans shut down the House of Representatives for over a month
“Trump never worked with Epstein!”
“No, Trump’s the one who turned him in!”
“No, the Epstein stuff is a Democrat hoax!”
“No, those files are fake!”
Watching MAGA twist themselves into pretzels over the past year has been something to behold.
This will be their undoing.
