I want to say thank you to all who responded to this or reached out in some way. I'm trying to respond to as many people as I can, but I want you all to know that the kindness, love and empathy we've received from friends and strangers is literally keeping us alive. So thank you.

Gutless wonder @marcorubio releases a video two days too late blaming the media, democrats and state election officials for the attack on the US Capitol, but he never names Trump. Late. Weak. Stupid. The full Rubio!
