Why I Can’t Leave Vermont By Anonymous
Oh how I love Vermont
When the snow’s up to your butt
You take a breath of winter air
And your nose, it freezes shut.
Yes, the weather here is wonderful
So I guess I’ll hang around.
I could never leave Vermont
Cause I’m frozen to the ground.

What if we all just start calling our representatives and the White House and any other associated government agencies demanding the release of the Epstein Files? We could also boycott all Trump donors until they release the files. We must make it known beyond social media that we are done waiting.

Libraries and museums get federal funding back after Trump cuts
Earlier this year, the Trump administration gutted the Institute of Museum and Library Services, leading to canceled federal grants. Now, after a court order, those grants are being reinstated.

She then immediately voted to discharge the Epstein petition.
