Today marks the 30th anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing, a devastating event that changed Americans' mutual trust. It also changed our understanding of terrorism, for a time, thought it remained easier to believe this event was a fluke and our "real" enemy sat plotting outside our borders.

A modest proposal: Alito's half-hearted, "the Court used our procedures that we make up and can change at any time improperly" dissent shows just how weak the position of the Trump administration is here. It's so weak that even Alito knows it.

Source at VA tells me an emergency data request went out demanding info any on relationships the 2nd largest Fed department and largest healthcare system in the US has with Harvard. We know there are significant research connections. This won't hurt Harvard. It will kill veterans. They don't care.

Senator Van Hollen’s commitment to the Abrego Garcia case isn’t performative. Wearing an overnight maxi pad on your ear after an “assassination attempt” is performative.

I went to El Salvador hoping to meet with Kilmar and check on his well-being, and I had the chance to do that last night. Our courts have been clear: this was an ILLEGAL abduction. I’m speaking now about my meeting with Kilmar and our work to bring him home:

Put aside the lies and the open defiance of the Supreme Court, as well as the cruelty, and ask yourself: who talks like this? This is the official account of the White House - is it being run by a six year old?

As someone who experienced threats and harassment from armed extremists for over a decade, I have empathy for anyone who feels afraid of retaliation for free speech. But at the end of the day, we all must make a choice: back down or double down.
