I am Shannon Maldonado, the founder of the Jaui gift shop, which sells handmade artisanal products. I chose Shopify because when I tested the devices, I found them to be one of the easiest to use devices. It was important for me to consider our development in the future.

I founded Ornot in 2013. I think the best thing about Shopify is that we can practice business without technical skills. We can manage the company's background and front-end and sell online. If Shopify was a bicycle equipment, it would be a bicycle itself. That way things are handled and our business is handled in Shopify. Start a free trial at shopify.com website.

Seth Magaziner 1:55
Well, you're back on the goddamn front page now with two innocent people gunned down in broad daylight.
Ben Meiselas 2:02
That right there was Democratic Congress member Magaziner. He was not holding back. And yesterday, we saw Democrats at the various hearings before the United States House of Representatives and the United States Senate really punching back hard now that Congress has finally returned back into session. Let me show you what went down. I want to share this with you as Democratic Senator Jack Reed was cross-examining Supreme Court justices who testified before the United States Senate yesterday, and here, Senator Reed reads the Supreme Court justices who were testifying in order to try to get more money for the Supreme Court for their own personal safety. Senator Reid read Donald Trump's words and was saying, you do realize like this is one of the main reasons why your court and why so many judges across the country are facing severe threats.
Ben Meiselas 2:56
Here, play this clip. I want to pick up on a point that Senator Collins made about some outrageous statements that are being made by and I can't think of a more prominent one than the President of the United States. So on February 20th, following a decision on tariffs, he said, disgrace to our nation, fools, lapdogs to the rhinos, and radical left Democrats, and very unpatriotic and disloyal to the Constitution. And he was describing the Supreme Court. On March 15, he posted, our country was unnecessarily ransacked by the United States Supreme Court, which is a little more than a weaponized and an unjust political organization. Now, I don't agree with anything he said, but if there's anyone in the country that commands more attention, it's the president.
Ben Meiselas 3:44
And I think that behavior is very dangerous to the court and to our whole system. And I just want that to be part of the record. Justice Kagan, you asked for it.
Unknown 3:54
If I could, Senator, wherever these come from, and, you know, whatever political figure says them, whatever party that political figure is a member of, these statements are really unhelpful. They're dangerous in terms of individual justices security and, um, and they're, they're not appropriate in the way to treat a coordinated branch of government. I think that chief justice had a year end statement last year where he talked about this issue and he talked about like criticism is fair game. I mean, go for it. You know, life in the big city is that you're subject to all kinds of criticism. Um, But intimidation is a different thing entirely.
