There are few things as cost effective as Narcan, especially in a country where (entirely preventable) opioid overdoses have been a leading cause of death for years. For every 6 kits distributed 1 OD is prevented. The $56M in this grant trained >66K people and distributed >282,500 kits in 2024 alone

Deaths from heart disease down 75%, that’s NIH. Deaths from stroke down 75%, that’s NIH. HIV/AIDS no longer a death sentence, that’s NIH. 99% of FDA approved drugs in the last decade, that’s NIH. Please show this video to anyone who doesn’t understand why the NIH is so important.

Jailing judges is a five alarm fire.

I can see the headline now, Trump Causes Chaos in the first 100 days, then he reverses everything, and then the market comes roaring back and he takes credit for it. It's something that he didn't need to touch to begin with, the market was just fine before he got elected.

This, as the Department of Education, now on life support, will use its remaining power and staff to begin collecting on student loans paused since the pandemic.

At the WH Easter egg hunt, Hegseth this morning pathetically blames the media for what his own appointees disclosed about his latest scandals.

Stock market tanking again! All self induced by one particular person!

Nailed it with this one.

This is where we are headed. If you don’t believe me, ask what basis the government had to send me and my family to a prison camp in Arkansas. We “looked like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor.”

Not all heroes wear capes, but all heroes take a stand against fascists.

Abolish ICE.

Funny, I usually check out that "FOX news" web page and the headlines had nothing about the stock market plunge at all yesterday. Futures are down another 1500 points this morning. My "trump" friends tell me to wait it out. I guess until I'm broke?

The TESLA (a/k/a "TESLER") TAKEDOWN is working... WORLDWIDE! Turns out people really resent an unelected weirdo running our Government & creating economic chaos. Hit Elmo where it really hurts: in his big, fat wallet. If we #TankTesla, It's Ex-X! (a/k/a Twitter) #WinWin Visit www.takedowntesla.com

We don't spend a penny on marketing. It's all word of mouth for @costplusdrugs.com That's how we keep prices so low. Please spread the word !

These are the senators who collaborated with the GOP. Schumer Fetterman Cortez Masto Durbin King Shaheen Gillibrand Schatz Hassan Peters Don’t let them forget it. No peace for them.

Oh myyy

Yes

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

Yup.

Curious...Wondering if there are more Fed layoff's vs. Deportations? My money is probably more federal layoffs and firings. Funny how tRump didn't say a word while on the campaign trail, or the outcome might have been different!

I am grateful that so many people found my open letter to Elon Musk moving and want to share it. Some well meaning people are just cutting and pasting it on their social media feeds. I would appreciate it if people would link to the version posted on @democracydocket.com instead. Thanks. Marc

Turnabout is fair play.

You can’t spell FELON without ELON.

Not even two weeks into his second term and Donald Trump is predictably causing mass chaos. The good news is Democrats are newly fired up to resist the radical regime of Trump 2.0. The spirit of resistance is alive and well for this Week in Wins. https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/week-progressiv…

She puts on a new costume every day

If you’re China, Russian, or any other geopolitical or economic competitor, you’re in heaven right now. This is Folly of the highest order. Strap in, folks.

Get ready for gas prices to rise! We import huge amounts from both Mexico and Canada.

Mood.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

I wish I could snap my fingers and get Mike Lee out of the Senate.

Trump is an extremely dangerous man--stupid, vindictive, fixated on payback for his enemies. This country will be lucky to survive him.

Fail. Big time. Kissing up for access I’ll bet.

Let Denmark cook.

Russell Vought, lead architect of Project 2025, is up for nomination to lead OMB (Office of Management and Budget). His hearing is this Thursday. Contact your Senators at the United States Capitol switchboard NOW at (202) 224-3121 to oppose his confirmation.

Just got off the phone with a medical provider who accepts Medicaid. Because they are shut out from the Medicaid portal, they might not be able to make payroll. They exclusively serve low-income Floridians.

PROP - PR Over Policy. Don't confuse them. He is flooding the zone. He knows that media will cover everything he does. Getting people upset. Which helps give him more coverage of the upset people. All just talking about him. Dems need to be strategic.
