Does he have a job as Transportation Sec? Is he collecting a paycheck? How is he not fired, and required to return all the taxpayer moneys he took while not working for us? Another grifter with a no-show job...very Mafia of him.

Moreover, all GOP members of Congress are complicit. Many are co-conspirators.

Didn't the Supreme Court say Texas couldn't use their old maps back in December because it was too close to the primary elections? But it's okay for Alabama, where voting has ALREADY BEGUN?

I often say that the fight for democracy is the fight of our generation. But let me be clear, if you aren’t fighting for Black voting rights right now then you aren’t really fighting for democracy.

A gentle reminder that the guy who beat Orban was the “lesser of two evils.” So vote your soul in the primaries, then please, in the name of all that is good and holy, vote for the Democrat in the general.

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito leaned on an erroneous claim that Black voter turnout now tops white voter turnout, in his Callais v. Louisiana ruling that gutted the Voting Rights Act, reports The Guardian. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

What does it cost our Humanity to look the other way when Women, Children, and Young Men of promise are ripped off the street and disappeared? What does it cost us as a Society, to normalize such barbarism? - Alexandria Ocasio- Cortez (D- New York) - May 8, 2026.

Red states don’t hold referendums before they redraw maps to their advantage. They just do it. If the courts are going to keep moving the goalposts, maybe it’s time blue states stop asking permission.

We do not need a ballroom. The East Room is fine.

Good. More evidence that Trump's enablers are cracking.

Based on this Virginia ruling, the Tennessee and Florida maps should both also be shot down. If not, Virginia should just pull a Tennessee and change the rules to ram it though the legislature. 🤷‍♂️

And the Supreme Court cries foul..fuck them all

The National Science Foundation which funds a quarter of all basic scientific research in the country is being dismantled.

Oh, bless your little heart. People don't think the Supreme Court is comprised of "political actors" because it makes "unpopular" decisions. They think SCOTUS is composed of "political actors" because it decides cases along predictable political lines & makes decisions that are popular with Trump.

What a cool idea! Keep the pressure! @redactedreadingroom put all 3.5 million pages of the Epstein files bound together in 3,437 volumes of books, on display in a new exhibit in Tribeca. David Garrett, one of the organizers, says the goal is to push for the release of all of the files. #Pinks

The Senate better not vote for this. It's now become a ripoff monstrosity.

The Supreme Court’s decision to gut the Voting Rights Act is an attack on our constitutional republic. Illinois will fight back, uphold our values, and safeguard democracy.

Which is the backwards country now, United States?

Lil Marco was my Senator. He is a wet noodle who turned his back on the Parkland kids for roughly $300k in NRA donations. He is not presidential material. I wonder if the Republican voters will realize how fickle & useless he is. www.ms.now/opinion/marc...

Please help the Lakota youth defend Pe'Sla (near Mt. Rushmore) from graphite/oil extraction! This is a sacred site to them, like Mt. Rushmore was before the faces were carved into it. Prevent history from being destroyed! News channels won't cover it (May 2026)

We wanted to give a shoutout to Raleigh, NC for May Day. ✊💚

There needs to be serious accountability for deaths in ICE detention.

Can someone let the AP know that violating court orders is not a sign of "executive power. " It is a sign of contempt, lawlessness and authoritarianism.

. I’d like to know why Congress votes on pay raises for themselves And not the American people that they work for. .

trump, his oligarchs, and his repug sycophants have ruined the world order for personal gain. When will we stop them? No later than November 3, hopefully. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

This is so awful. Stephen Miller’s cruelty. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Medical societies, medical professionals must make noise. Loudly. It is barbaric to withhold medically necessary care. If I were childbearing age, I’d keep a couple emergency Mifepristone pills. Get it now if you can.

BREAKING: A conservative court packed with Trump-appointed judges just ruled to ROLL BACK access to the abortion pill. This is a page straight out of extremist Republicans’ anti-abortion playbook. Let me be clear: the abortion pill is safe and effective. We must fight back.

Dance party on the streets of DC. And the signs are amazing

BREAKING: We're suing Louisiana officials for suspending the state's primary election after voting has already begun. On the heels of a Supreme Court decision that eviscerated protections for voters of color, elected officials jumped at the chance to disenfranchise people — we won't allow it.

Medicare fraudster takes the Fifth sez what?

Trump has no ability to arrange a ceasefire, but Putin could ask Zelensky if he offered a benefit in return, like returning stolen Ukrainian children.

The Repubs defending trump are worthy of equally strong slurs. Traitors, all of them.

After the WHCD, Republicans argue that Democrats endangered Trump by calling him authoritarian, anti-democratic, or hostile to the Constitution. Sorry, friends. Those are not slurs. They are descriptions.

I had to tank up my car today. After reeling from the sticker-shock, I had a deeply horrible thought. I'm lucky enough to work from home but I know people who have to buy gas every week. We're going to hit a critical mass of people who have to choose between food, medications, and gas. A nightmare.

We held the line folks. Today the House passed a bill to fund DHS agencies like FEMA and TSA — without giving a penny to ICE or CBP. It’s because of the millions of Americans who opposed Trump’s ICE and made their voices heard. Keep it up, Minnesota.

The House passed FISA Section 702 renewal yesterday. I voted NO. This was a Uni-Party vote in favor of unchecked government surveillance without adequate warrants or accountability. —Congressman Thomas Massie

Powell: "Energy hasn't even peaked yet, and we'd want to see the backside of that and progress on tariffs before we even thought about reducing rates"
