I am glad that Senator Van Hollen was able to see Kilmar Abrego Garcia and confirm that he is alive and in good health, and I hope they were afforded the opportunity to exchange the traditional greeting between two Marylanders, sprinkling Old Bay on each other.

i have no doubt that senator van hollen was genuinely concerned for the safety and welfare of abrego garcia BUT ALSO this is what i'm talking about when i say POLITICAL AMBITION. van hollen may well make himself a household name and nationally recognized political figure with this move

There is nothing comforting about “I’m just as scared as you” coming from the legislative branch that’s supposed to keep checks and balances on the executive. While she thought it was relatable, it is actually mortifying.

Katy Perry went to space, cried "feminism" while NASA's forced to remove women's achievements from their history, caused an enormous amount of environmental damage, & contributed NOTHING to art or culture while she was up there. She released a set list for a tour that can't even give away tickets.

All Abrego Garcia needs to do to get out of prison is claim he rioted on Jan 6

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.
