Frost: Tonight the people stealing are not folks with tattoos and hoodies but people wearing suits and ties and congressional pins sitting in the capitol now, not in some alley wrapped in darkness but the United States congress wrapped in the flag. It is disgusting and we will never forget this.

The Democrats who fought for their constituents, and stood up for the rights of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, Mahmoud Khalil, Rumeysa Ozturk, and Andry Hernandez Romero, have weakened Trump on his strongest issue. You can’t lose when you fight for the Constitution.

One note to DOJ: I'm sorry you're overwhelmed with all of the defending of lawlessness that you're doing, but this is not the way to do this. Is DOJ just no longer filing actual stay requests at district courts? They just file a paragraph and attach an appeals court filing? What?

This got lost in the last week—but in my preview of the April 1 elections, I had asked people to follow school board races in three places: Kenosha, Green Bay, and Anchorage. Result: The Dem-backed or liberal candidates won 6 of the 7 seats at play. via: boltsmag.org/whats-on-the...

Great job, Bernie. "For many years, as I think you know, I have been talking how our country is moving towards an oligarchic form of society. And I know that people had their doubts, 'What is Bernie talking about?' Well, not anymore. People see what's going on right in front of them.

Three cheers for Cory Booker, who just broke the record for holding the floor. One time, when I was an intern in Congress in '97, I watched Strom Thurmond getting into an elevator. One of the creepiest sights I've ever seen, he stood there with his young aides and looked past me, expressionless.
