@Etsy My cousin ordered something from one of your vendors, Artist Giuliana on October 19th. She has not received her order, nor been able to contact the vendor. At this point, all she wants is a refund but is not getting any response.
BREAKING: In a bizarre moment, the President of the United States expresses astonishment that his college age son can turn a laptop on after he turned it off, wondering "How'd you do that?" This is abnormal.
A weekly cognitive test should be mandatory.

“Disgusted by Trump blaming DEI for plane crash in D.C.”

BREAKING: MAGA world breaks out the pitchforks for the Catholic Church after the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops releases a scathing statement tearing into Donald Trump's "deeply troubling" Executive Orders.
And that wasn't even the worst of it...
"Many of the issues President Trump addresses in his recent Executive Orders, along with what may be issued in the coming days, are matters on which the Church has much to offer," the letter, signed by Archbishop Timothy P. Brogli, President of the USCCB reads.
"Some provisions contained in the Executive Orders, such as those focused on the treatment of immigrants and refugees, foreign aid, expansion of the death penalty, and the environment, are deeply troubling and will have negative consequences, many of which will harm the most vulnerable among us," it continues.
Given that the Church is a conservative religious institution, the letter also voiced support for Trump's Executive Order "recognizing the truth about each human person as male or female." But this faint praise was not enough to keep the MAGA cult at bay.
"I wish to reiterate that the Catholic Church is not aligned with any political party, and neither is the bishops’ conference," the letter goes on.
"No matter who occupies the White House or holds the majority on Capitol Hill, the Church’s teachings remain unchanged. It is our hope that the leadership of our Country will reconsider those actions which disregard not only the human dignity of a few, but of us all," it reads.
"Following the ancient tradition, Pope Francis has declared 2025 as a Jubilee Year of Hope. As Christians, our hope is always in Jesus Christ, who guides us through storm and calm weather. He is the source of all truth," it goes on.
"Our prayer is one of hope that, as a Nation blessed with many gifts, our actions demonstrate a genuine care for our most vulnerable sisters and brothers, including the unborn, the poor, the elderly and infirm, and migrants and refugees. The just Judge expects nothing less," it concludes.
Between this letter and the blunt sermon remarks delivered by Episcopalian Bishop Mariann Budde at the National Cathedral, this has been a historically bad week for relations between Trump and key religious leaders.
As it turns out, real Christians don't support hatred, bigotry, and fascist politics.
The famous Gandhi quote applies to Trump and his Evangelical supporters more than ever: "I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ."

JUST IN: Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger refers to Elon Musk as "president" and Donald Trump as "vice president" after today's spending bill defeat.
"President Musk this morning made it clear - with all his vast government experience, which is basically, he became rich on the federal government - that he doesn't want Republicans to pass this."
"Vice President Trump kind of backed him up at that point. [...] This is gonna be a messy 4 years."
2 died of Ebola: They said Obama should resign.
4 died in Benghazi: They had Hillary testify for 11 hours, held 33 hearings, and launched a 4-year probe.
881,776 Covid deaths, an armed insurrection & theft of classified documents: They cheered, and elected Trump as dictator.
So, you want me to believe that you voted for a racist, rapist, convicted felon, business fraud who incited a deadly attack on our Capitol after losing the last election because of the price of eggs?
That you voted for the orange-dipped dude who ran with a different VP because the last one was nearly hanged for not breaking democracy, because you’ve been getting fewer hours at your job these days?
You want me to believe that you voted for someone who nearly every economist in the world has said will grow our debt (which he did by the third largest amount ever the last time), increase our costs, raise inflation and destroy our GDP because a burger and fries at Five Guys is more expensive than it used to be?
You want me to believe that you voted for the drink bleach guy who golfed while thousands of Americans were dying a day because you had it so much better then, when you were stockpiling toilet paper, than you do now?
You want me to believe that you voted for the guy who had 4 years to pass an infrastructure bill and didn’t, the guy who promised Mexico would pay for the wall when they didn’t, the guy who promised to bring manufacturing back, lower the cost of prescription drugs and end the opioid crisis but didn’t, because you preferred his “policies”?
You want me to believe you voted for the “grab em by the pussy” guy who wants to destroy the Department of Education and to repeal the ACA despite the fact that he has nothing more than “concepts of a plan” to replace it, the guy who will roll back environmental protections, strip women and minorities of more rights, the guy who will hand Ukraine to Putin and Gaza to Netanyahu, the guy who has said he will be a “dictator on day one”, because you’re worried about losing your gas stove?
I’m sorry, but I don’t believe any of that, and frankly, I’m not sure you believe it either.
Because the truth is that your vote wasn’t about any of that.
You voted for the traitorous embodiment of the 7 deadly sins because when it came to casting your ballot for a Black woman, you just couldn’t do it.
And because you like getting away with being your worst self.
And because life is a whole lot easier to stomach when all that has gone wrong for you, is someone else’s fault.
Let’s be honest here, that is what it was.
So when the price of eggs is $18, and your Latino neighbors have been deported or moved to some f’d up “camp” to pick the strawberries none of you will pick, and your miscarrying wife has to contend with sepsis before she’s allowed to have an abortion, and your autistic child is unable to get the early intervention they desperately need, please remember what it really was that you voted for.
Because I promise you the rest of us will never, ever forget.
🚨‼️MUST WATCH and SHARE before Elon Musk bans it:
Since US media won’t tell you, UK activists, Led By Donkeys, dropped this video on how Elon Musk and his use of X helped get Donald Trump elected.

As Donald Trump readies to return to the Oval Office, U.S. retailers that depend on foreign suppliers are prepared to pass along the cost of his proposed import tariffs to consumers, potentially leading to higher prices for a range of products. https://t.co/FnazDzizgT
