Trump falsely claims Kilmar Abrego Garcia was found by courts to be a member of MS-13 and suggests there should be punishment for people who say otherwise. “Those lying to the American People on behalf of violent criminals have to be held responsible by the Agencies and the Courts.”

One thing I wish people understood about authoritarianism is life often looks more or less the same. Troops aren’t marching down the street every day; people go to restaurants, have their office jobs. But everyone knows that stepping out of line, even slightly, can derail your life with no recourse

Chasten and I are relieved that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe. While we wait to learn more, this much is clear: the targeting of a public official and his family - especially a prominent Jewish official on a major Jewish holiday - is unconscionable and has no place in our country.
