This is great news and it is good that AOC helped. But Khalil lived on the Columbia campus, not NY-14. Where was his rep and NY’s Senators?

The DHS Secretary essentially stated that the purpose of the federal invasion of Los Angeles is to overthrow the duly elected state and local governments. Does this implicate any state laws prohibiting sedition?

Lankford is a coward and should never be allowed to forget it. He knows what he is saying is wrong and that he is only saying it to cravenly avoid crossing Dear Leader.

Our client Rümeysa Öztürk spent the last 6 weeks in an ICE detention facility in Louisiana — all in retaliation for an op-ed she co-authored. On Saturday, she finally made it home to her beloved Tufts community, where she can resume her studies and begin teaching again as her case proceeds.

I have long advocated for restoring the talking filibuster as a reform to the current everything-needs-60-votes process. I thought that @corybooker.com would be one of the senators that could deliver a good filibuster. I was not expecting what just finished. #bookerbuster #ussenate
