Van Hollen says that he asked the VP of El Salvador why his government continues to hold Abrego Garcia even though he’s not charged with any crime and there’s no evidence that he’s MS-13. “His answer was that the Trump administration is paying the government of El Salvador to keep him at CECOT”

This is something we can all do.👇🏼 File a complaint with the FL and DC Bar to have Pam Bondi disbarred for not complying with the 9-0 Supreme Court ruling to return Mr. Garcia from El Salvador.

See how this works?

Congressional recess won't last forever. When legislation resumes, we fully expect GOP members of Congress to try, once more, to pass their sweeping voter suppression bill - otherwise known as the SAVE Act. Join our Resistbot campaign to collectively say HELL NO! ⬇️ resist.bot/petitions/PT...

Judge finds 'probable cause' to hold U.S. in contempt over deportations www.npr.org/2025/04/16/g... This is a criminal contempt order. Our judiciary is hanging in there - thank goodness.

Peeps💙This is A Public Announcement 📢 ‼️ Stop Trump on the violation of our voting rights and laws! Listen and Donate 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 #DemVoice1 #DemsUnited #ProudBlue

Six hours ago, Sen. Chris Van Hollen boarded a flight to El Salvador, putting his safety on the line to demand justice for Kilmar Abrego Garcia. This is what leadership looks like. He’s meeting with officials, hoping to see Kilmar, & sending a message loud & clear: we won’t stop until he’s home.

This is exactly why we need to be organized in our defense of the freedom to read. The book banners are organized & we'll funded. But they are also unpopular. Our numbers can beat their money

This breaks me — because I can see my wife and daughter living through this. I don’t trust DHS, and you shouldn’t either because it could happen to anyone. They’re on a mission, and it feels lawless as hell.

Here's the reality: they've backed themselves into a corner. If they bring him home there will be hell to pay. It's clear that they believe that the lesser hell is not bringing him home. So we need to make that hell the worse hell. Start calling and screaming at all of your representatives now! 1/2

A seamstress named Elsy Noemi Berrios was forcibly detained by masked agents who did not present a warrant. Elsy is about 52 years old & has an asylum case pending in court. Her teenage daughter filmed this terrifying scene. If they can do it to her, they can do it to you. Speak out now!

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act. Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes? Staffer: a DL and birth certificate. Me: The documents don’t match Staffer: Then a marriage certificate. Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too? Staffer: No Me: See the problem?

Where is our humanity?

The always-bright Eric Trump gives away the game, acknowledging that the tariffs are just a form of extortion.

Don't let up on Signalgate. The Mueller report cited rampant use of Signal as a means of obstruction of justice. The entire discussion is fait accompli. Also guarantee it is how everyone inside this thug WH communicates. Which means the law is being knowingly & deliberately violated every day.

Say its name! No sugar coating, and no pussy footing around. I love this for him.

RFK Jr has moved to eliminate HHS’s Administration for Community Living, a subsidiary established in 2012 to support disabled and aging people. The shutdown, part of wider cuts, will mean “more people forced into institutional settings.”

🚨🚨WTH is going on today with the Social Security website?😡🤬

Just read the full Atlantic article about the Houthi group chat. One part that stuck with me is when they say “God Bless” and send prayer emojis to each other after killing 53 people who they considered enemies because they killed others in the name of their God.

It only took two months.

I want you to understand this is happening in our name and we know most of these men committed no crimes. One is a professional soccer player who was tortured in Venezuela and was working through asylum in the U.S. ICE shipped him for his Real Madrid tattoo and a picture throwing rock & roll horns.

www.aol.com/promised-reh... Warning: Deeply disturbing. Ex-Union County Ohio Humane executive director Steffen Baldwin was sentenced to over 15 years in prison for animal cruelty, theft and other charges.

Meanwhile over on X….

Trump’s guest…

oh this is a big mystery

This is the way…

Protest Chuck Schumer’s book tour this week. He owns his now MAGA legacy.

if Trump and his cronies are able to veto appropriations made by Congress, then we've already moved into a dictatorial system of government. Why would Democrats waste time negotiating spending deals if Trump can just rip them up after he signs them?

It won't stop there.

Senate Democrats a shutdown would be on Republicans who control the House, Senate and White House. We will back you if it results in a shutdown. @schumer.senate.gov Do not vote for this terrible CR substantially cutting Veterans care and benefits amongst so many other important things.

Alina Habba got community noted over on the hellsite and I’m so here for it🍿🍿🍿😂

You’ve probably heard the FBI is accusing Habitat for Humanity of fraud. It’s actually even worse. It’s not just the FBI, it’s the DOJ, Treasury & the EPA accusing EVERYONE who received Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund $ of fraud. #DemVoice1 Complete list of the accused…

We’re ready to meet Mr. Harris today. He won’t be able to hide from this one. 😏

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave. Tell them: 1. Vote NO on Cloture AND 2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill. Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it. TODAY is the showdown. 🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121
