Moment of clarity today in the Senate where Republicans sided with big banks & against customers. Higher fees, lower transparency.
Now it goes to the House - so call your Member of Congress to ask how they’ll vote!

Donald Trump is treating the destruction of a democracy as a political show — throwing Ukraine to the wolves and doing a favor for Putin.
It's shameful and dangerous.
I've been to Ukraine, as have many Senate Republicans. I hope they speak up. Millions of lives are at stake.

Pathetic. Shameful. Cowardly. Disgusting. Trump and JD Vance showed the world they will enthusiastically reward the aggression of dictators and don't think freedom is worth fighting for.
They are setting fire to Reagan's "City Upon A Hill."

About 27% of our coffee comes from Colombia. (Which is Colombia's 4th biggest category of exports to US).
I think they are actually a bigger share of cut flowers than coffee, but I'm still looking for numbers.
