When people are afraid to go to work, afraid to shop, or afraid to gather in their community, it hurts families, neighborhoods, and our entire economy.
If you can, show up for a small business and let’s continue to show the nation what it means to respond with care and decency.

Trump is actively making our goods more expensive by blocking a piece of key infrastructure - apparently all because his most Epstein-linked Cabinet Secretary conveyed a request from a billionaire GOP donor. America does not have to tolerate this kind of corruption.

For the Epstein survivors to get any modicum of justice, Congress much impeach and remove both Pam Bondi and Kash Patel.
At a minimum.
Eventually, every one of Trump’s corrupt appointees to the DOJ must be held accountable for their roles in the coverup.

…claiming their daily barrage of “errors” are administrative blunders and not blatant acts of sabotage.
It’s clear that Trump’s DOJ is orchestrating a massive criminal coverup.
They are protecting Donald Trump and the American elite. It’s a long list of billionaires and powerbrokers.

ICE was flawed from day one... born out of post-9/11 fear and built on policies that blurred national security with domestic control. Some systems don’t need reform. They need to be abolished.
