My impact may be small, but I will never support any comedian that performed at this festival. There are many I liked and some movies and shows I’ll miss because they are in it.

It matters to me who gets MY money. Even in the smallest amounts.

This is so indefensibly insane: Speaker Johnson is refusing to seat Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva because she'll be the 218th vote to release the Epstein files. Johnson swore in Rep Walkinshaw (VA) w/in 24 hours.

Johnson is abandoning his job to instead protect a convicted child sex predator

7.6 TRILLION! with a T

1 trillion = 1,000,000,000,000 (a million millions)

It would cost approximately $168 billion to lift EVERY household in the United States above the federal poverty line

They would still have 7.4 trillion

Why Are Conservatives More Susceptible to Believing Lies?

It's not just misinformation gained from too many hours listening to Fox News, either.
