House Judiciary R’s just voted to permit ICE to deport American citizens. Read that again. DEPORT AMERICAN CITIZENS. They are so beholden to Donald Trump that they are happy to deport their own constituents. Shameful and despicable.

The Justice Dept. has authorized law enforcement officers to GO INTO PEOPLE'S HOMES WITHOUT SEARCH WARRANTS if they suspect that someone is an "alien enemy" I talked to @usatoday.com about Attorney General Bondi's "Guidance for Implementing the Alien Enemies Act," links below

Advocates say the way the White House aired an accusation of domestic violence in the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case has sent his wife and her children into hiding, and could discourage victims from seeking help.

Screaming at these people works. They’re fundamentally wimps, we just have to actually DO the screaming instead of preemptively admitting defeat. I am talking about my fellow Americans, not the Democrats. We actually need to scream, gang, not just complain that Schumer isn’t.

☎️ Right NOW on the floor of the Nebraska Legislature, Senator Andersen is trying to hijack Senator Quick’s LB192 regarding SNAP eligibility with an unfriendly Amendment. Please call your Senator immediately and tell them to vote NO on AM1131 and vote YES on LB192. #neleg

Nebraska's US Senators voted to confirm this obviously unqualified nominee for Secretary of Defense less than 90 days ago and we can clearly see their decision was dangerous. Senator Fischer and Senator Ricketts must use their authority to correct this grave error and now call for his removal.

the thing I hate most about that rfk quote is that autistic lives have value and worth and beauty and dignity whether they are able to do the things other people do or not. no one is defined by ability or lack thereof and to frame divergence as lack is monster stuff, utterly godless

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

I'm thinking about how tonight was probably the first time Kilmar Abrego Garcia learned that millions of people care about him - the first time he learned that the United States Supreme Court ruled 9-0 to bring him home. I'm thinking what it must mean for him to know, right now, that he isn't alone.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

I won’t share RFK Jr.’s lies about autism. It’s disgusting and dangerous. If he had a shred of decency, he would apologize and resign. Autistic people contribute every day to our nation’s greatness. To every kid with autism, I’m in this fight all the way for you.

It is important that everyone clearly understands that the fundamental principles of the Constitution, such as due process and equal protection under the law, extend to all individuals within the United States, regardless of their immigration status. /1

I was heartened to see the turnout yesterday in Omaha and across the state! ❤️ If nothing else, it brought attention to our neighbors that not everyone in our community supports the policies coming from the Administration & Congress. Hopefully, it will spur us all to take action. 🇺🇲 #handsoff #NE02

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

This Nebraska mom wonders why our Republican lawmakers aren't fighting for our state? From Members of Congress to the Legislature, it seems they are all just watching this wreck in slow motion & paralyzed to oppose federal funding cuts, slashing agencies and staff, imposing tariffs.. .Enough! #neleg

Americans must stand w/our neighbors & against these deportation policies: He knows all the things Trump has threatened to do, but he’s trying to stay optimistic. Because he doesn’t believe Americans will really let mass deportations happen. After all, he said, “the USA is the mother of democracy.”

Secretary Lutnick: You are a billionaire. Maybe your mother-in-law wouldn't complain if she didn't get her Social Security check, but tens of millions of seniors struggling to survive would. They're not fraudsters. They earned it. How out of touch are you not to realize that?

By attacking science: We are less safe because science informs national security and medical care. We are less prosperous because science drives innovation and economic benefit. We are less free because science and democracy depend on the liberty to ask questions, and seek and share knowledge.
