The Trump administration has released a three-time felon and five-time deported immigrant because he's going to testify against zero-time felon Abrego - all to cover their tracks for mistakenly and illegally sending Abrego to El Salvador and then lying about it to the court to cover it up.

It's incredible that neither the president nor VP was here. The politicization of all facets of American life is coming from the White House. No other American president would have failed to pay their respects. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Just a reminder of who Thom Tillis is: In 2013, as N.C. House Speaker, he passed a massive voter suppression law that was struck down because it targeted Black voters "with almost surgical precision.” In the Senate he voted against the Freedom to Vote Act and the John R. Lewis Voting Right Act.

Mamdani: "I've already had to start get used to the fact that the president will talk about how I look, how I sound, where I'm from, ultimately bc he wants to distract from what I'm fighting for. I'm fighting for the the very working people he ran a campaign to empower that he has since betrayed."

Today we laid Melissa and Mark Hortman to rest. This photo was taken the very first day I met Melissa. Even then, I knew I was in the presence of someone special. I feel so lucky to have known her, to have served alongside her, and to have learned from her.

Ted Cruz just said Mr. Abrego has been charged with Human Trafficking. Cruz proclaims "I read every word of that indictment!" Apparently not, because Abrego was not charged with human trafficking. I hope this comes up in a motion to dismiss the charges.

Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance

I have no clue if Iran is still capable of doing any harm to Americans here or abroad. That's not my primary concern. What concerns me the most is that we've got a sociopath as POTUS, a military now violating their oath with unconstitutional strikes, and a complicit Congress and SCOTUS.

I worry that escalating war with Iran will be used to whip up more fear and hate for non-white immigrants, particularly those of Arab descent, and be used for unjust deportations.
