On this day in 1956 Albert Sabin announced an oral polio vaccine, which surpassed Jonas Salk's vaccine in making polio a thing of the past for millions around the world.

Polio afflicted FDR, Mitch McConnell, Robert Redford, and many others.

Let's not let RFK Jr bring it back.

So much is already public. Imagine how bad the Epstein Files must be if they must repeatedly adjourn the House and shut down the government to stop their disclosure.

It was not just Trump and Epstein it was also Trump and Casablancas and the teen models they groomed and booked for “career building” dinners with older men.

I remember this. Does most of the press have amnesia?

Teen models, powerful men and private dinners: when Trump hosted Look of the Year

In the early 90s, Donald Trump judged contestants at the world’s biggest modelling competition - since hit by allegations of abuse. This is how the people who were there remember it

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

Donald Trump is breaching the Constitution and breaking the law.

A show of force so he can militarize our cities because of the 2026 elections.

We need to stand up together and speak up.

It's been over 9 months since the Palisades and Eaton Fires tore through Los Angeles. We asked for federal support, but we haven’t heard a word from the White House.

Not a single offer.

Is this what leadership looks like? Abandoning the American people when they call for help?

Trump has been illegally bombing boats off the coast of Venezuela.

Tim Kaine and Adam Schiff forced a vote on reasserting Congress's role over war powers and ending this reckless
warmongering.

It failed 48-51.

Murkowski and Paul voted yes.

Fetterman voted no.

“Senior military leaders should have stepped in to prevent Trump from turning addresses at Fort Bragg and Norfolk into political rallies; the silence of the Army and Navy secretaries, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and some top generals and admirals is appalling…”

ICE is too dangerous to be left unaccountable.
Violence & abuse against Americans is wrong.

If you see an incident occurring, get out your cellphone. Document it. Send it to your Congressperson and the press. Do it anonymously if you need to. #BeTheChange

I know this sounds extreme. It is.

I know I sound overly alarmist. I don't think I am.

Trump is enacting a well thought out plan so he and his allies can rule forever.

But it's not too late to stop them. We can peacefully and forcefully mobilize now. We have the power.

Hakeem Jeffries obliterated Lying Mike Lawler: “You’re ripping away people’s health care. People will die in your district.”

Then Creepy Mike Johnson tried to crash a press conference and got exposed for the Epstein cover-up.

Every Democrat should be fighting like this. No excuses. 💥

Good on Kelly & Gallego!

Johnson is holding the country hostage. Arizona sent Adelita Grijalva to represent them, but Johnson’s refusing to swear her in until he gets his way on the shutdown. Blocking a duly elected member is fascist blackmail.
Ripping away healthcare while obstructing justice.

The US Supreme Court is finally doing something right.

The court will not take up an appeal by Ghislaine Maxwell.

Any takers on a presidential pardon?
