I shop at Gelson’s and stay away from those grocery stores. I’ve stayed away from Amazon because I don’t want to support Bezos.

Simple messaging I recommend you share and text friends, family, and neighbors.

These are the lines Democrats need to be using.

Trump went for a Covid shot and then set the CDC on fire.

Republicans are 💯 responsible for the government shutdown. They don’t need a single vote from Democrats to reopen.

Almost the entire staff behind the CDC’s flagship publication, Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, has been fired. The report is typically one of the first places where information about U.S. disease outbreaks is disseminated before appearing in other journals and publishes information on a wide variety of critical public health issues.

Just game from the grocery store and bought about 75% of what we usually purchase for the same price.

Food prices are skyrocketing.

"The president has already announced that if a judge does rule against him, he will invoke the Insurrection Act and then continue the military deployments. This is where we’ve been headed since January 6, 2021."

My military kid and family are not getting paid. We are now supporting 6 humans, 5 canines, and 6 felines.
And we can't claim them as dependents.
F the GOP with big pokey cacti!
