It was never going to stop with illegal aliens. It was never going to stop asylum seekers. It was never going to stop with green card holders. Now it’s US citizens.

Can someone explain why media has embraced—with such striking credulity—the idea that Musk is leaving Washington? Even if one accepts his claims at face value, which one never should, he'll spend 40% of each work week doing "DOGE" business rather than Tesla's. Why does media love this lie so much?

Somehow this isn't the top story on the New York Times. Heck, it isn't even on the front page anymore. Trump is trying to stop his political opponents from running campaigns. There couldn't be a bigger threat to our democracy.

This fails the common sense test. Tax the rich. Invest in families. Lower costs for working people. And reject this Republican trickle-down economic nonsense.

There will be more cases like Kilmar Abrego Garcia. More illegal deportations. More mistakes. And they’re laying the groundwork to deport American citizens - permanently - to El Salvador’s prisons. It’s not hypothetical. Republicans must join us & draw the line. Or watch our democracy disappear.

Bukele has already returned migrants to the U.S. because they were from Central America or they were women—migrants the Trump admin had unilaterally declared as “criminals.” This is all a joke to them. It’s truly sick.

If President Trump can wrongly deport a Maryland father to a prison in El Salvador and then defy a 9-0 Supreme Court order to facilitate bringing him home, who’s next? This threatens the rights and freedoms of everyone in the United States.

In the name of reducing fentanyl overdoses, Trump has gone to the extreme—levied tariffs, listed cartels as terrorist groups, and weighed drone strikes in Mexico. But these proclamations gloss over a glaring reality: The admin is decimating funding for treatment and overdose prevention programs.

This bill disenfranchises a whole lot of women, but it disproportionately disenfranchises Republican women. Married women lean Republican. Married women who change their names definitely lean Republican. Seems a little self-defeating.
