On this day 70 years ago-May 1, 1956-the polio vaccine was first made widely available to the public. The vaccine’s developer, Dr. Jonas Salk, did not patent the vaccine so that it would remain available to as many people as possible in the US and internationally. Image: Harvey Georges/AP.

Rep. Rob Menendez (D-NJ) blasted GOP lawmakers who want to use taxpayer money for Trump's beloved Epstein Ballroom. "There’s an affordability crisis out there. Nobody gives a shit about the ballroom except for the president."

Literally changing the rules during an election to gain even more advantage. California and New York better start packing and cracking

🔴PAY ATTENTION: The Governor of Louisiana is declaring an emergency to cancel an ongoing election so that his party can rig the rules moving forward. This is not just about redistricting... www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

This needs to be the response consistently from Democrats. We’ve been too weak for too long.

This👇🏽 deserves to be posted 100 times but I’d be labeled spam.

Democrats should gerrymander the hell out of their districts. Neutralize Republican voters. Supreme Court is cool with it so just flex until MAGA cries uncle. Fight fire with fire. You cant be Civil with fascists.

Here’s the thing. If both racial and partisan gerrymandering is perfectly legal, then you won’t live in a democracy. You live in a country where politicians pick their voters not the other way around. It’s pretty much that simple.

More recognition is needed.

Reminder that any political party trying to make it harder to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone.

It should be common, in any society, to simply say "I don't care what your holy book says. It has no bearing on my life" and that should be the end of it.

And don't forget that he posted a video of a woman being beaten to death with a hammer.

i for one will not be lectured on civility by a President and Administration that is the most corrupt, coarse, cruel and hateful presidencies in our nation's history. STFU!

Accurate and Very Well Said….

The greed is sickening. #greed #crime #evil

What I wanna know is why do they keep missing? Ugh!

Stephen Miller using his pregnant wife Katie as a human shield during Trump's WHCD alleged "assassination attempt." JD Vance was removed first by Secret Service then they went back for Trump. Something doesn’t pass the smell test. 🐟🐡🐠

The Absolute Opposite of What They Should Be Doing….

I know it's been chaotic lately but it bears repeating: Jeffrey Epstein did not act alone. Arrest them all.

When the truth is finally revealed about Trump starting this war to stay out of jail for raping children, remember that Republicans allowed him to unilaterally announce it from his FL hangout without any Congressional approval. The truth will come out. What we're getting now is all spin.

Washington is pretending to look busy with phony investigations—but don't let them distract you from the cover-up. The Epstein files remain hidden, and Pam Bondi still hasn’t appeared for questioning. No hearings. No deposition date. No answers.

This is your reminder that it's been ten months since the assassination of Melissa Hortman, her husband and her dog, and there hasn't been even a hint of justice for her family, friends or colleagues.

Clears it up a lot.

“The United States is being murdered, and it’s an inside job. Every department, every branch, every bureau and function of the federal government is being fatally corrupted or altogether dismantled or disabled.”

Trump just told Americans to give up their rights and he’s proud of it. In his own words,“I am willing to risk the giving up of my Rights and Privileges as a Citizen.” He said that out loud on social media. While pressuring House Republicans to pass a warrantless surveillance law with zero reforms.

BREAKING: John Eastman, the attorney who helped with Trump's strategy to overturn the 2020 election, has just been disbarred!

Trump is banking on the US news media not doing their job, and they are obliging. Trump keeps saying, "Peace any second now." There are no planned peace talks in Pakistan, and the Prime Minister isn't even in the country right now. It's embarrassing they're calling themselves journalists.

Food for thought: In '24, 245M Americans were eligible to vote. just 73.6 % of those (174M) registered to vote. just 154M of them actually voted. US voter turnout ranked in bottom 1/3 of all democracies. This is how democracy dies. Too many people have taken too much for granted for too long

So glad to see someone so beautifully articulate what I think about almost every day….

I am going to give this a shot. I figure, if there is any way to reach a bunch of people all at once, this is it. Feel free to share. In 1978, I had a kidney transplant at Children’s Memorial Hospital in Chicago, IL. I am searching for anyone that knew Dr Casimir Firlit.

And to think, all this because Trump wanted to stay out of jail.

So pro-life means jailing women who miscarry but shrugging when the deranged president says “a whole civilization will die tonight.” Do I have that right?

Speaker Johnson, we are calling on you to bring the House back to DC IMMEDIATELY! The Cabinet needs to invoke the 25th Amendment. But Congress can’t just sit on its hands and wait for that to happen when the President is threatening to commit war crimes TONIGHT.

I'm gonna say that senators and representatives posting on social media that the madness has to stop is pretty weak sauce. These are people who, unlike the rest of us, can actually DO something to stop the madness. So maybe put down your phones and get to work?

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

Still shocking 😳🤯🤣
