My ancestors crossed the Atlantic three centuries ago and I am an American in the exact same way as the infant child of undocumented immigrants born here yesterday. There is no difference between us, their right to this country no less than mine. We are entirely equal and I will accept nothing else.

It’s very simple IMHO. Chuck looks at Republicans and sees his Senate work buddies. Bill looks at them and sees people who pretended to be his friends and lied to his fucking face about supporting every principle he holds sacred for years. This is because Bill is smarter and has self respect.

You know the only reason he got out so fast was a reporter live posted about this for hours. And, a large amount of public pressure. Every time someone gets grabbed, there has to be a robust public response immediately.

this is such good news. i think it is also an opportunity for democrats to state forthrightly that when they win power again everyone responsible for this crime will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law and will face the american people to answer for their lawlessness

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Politics hasn't been this simple in a long time: do you think it's good for one man to exercise unchecked, arbitrary power or not. Those are the two available ideologies right now

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent. “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. “A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.” @kyivindependent.com

While true, the Democrats have also very deliberately avoided doing a lot of obvious and easy things to put maximal pressure on the GOP. Things like holding town halls in GOP districts, Senators going into GOP held areas of their states and BLASTING them etc. There's A LOT the Dems should be doing

Every news outlet reporting Elon Musk's comment about accidentally canceling Ebola prevention efforts and quickly restoring them should also say they haven't been restored, they're still canceled, the outbreak-fighting teams are dismantled, the money is gone www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

It's genuinely astounding how Trump's main thing is that evil foreigners are coming to the United States to rape white women and yet they pressured Romania to release a serial rapist so he could go to the US and rape women there

The US abandoning a brave ally enduring a horrible war, and then using its diplomatic muscle to free (alleged) sex offenders is an absolute stain on its reputation.

Take note of the messaging - this is both accurate and deeply unpopular. It's the kind of thing that forces GOP House members to quietly tell their constituents that they too are concerned about Musk. Make them own this. Make them squirm.

Literally today someone said we needed to be reminded of the JA incarceration so "it never happens again" and I was beside myself. IT IS HAPPENING. if you're willing to listen to a Japanese person talk about it but not a Hmong or Honduran or Haitian person you're a 🎶fuckinnnnggg racist🎶

It was an honor to sign the guest book in the home of Anne Frank. I was here as a younger man and thought about her life as a dark chapter of history. Today, I can’t help but think of her story as one of caution. Our world is fragile, and it’s incumbent on us not to break it.
