Much, much, much worse than Watergate. Both on the surface, and because the context of the general attack on the Constitution matters to assessing each part. (Nixon's attack on the Constitution was much less broad than even first-term Trump's, let alone the current situation).

One of the happiest updates I’ve written since I started following this story. 12 students back in status and maybe more to come. Across the country, students are saying their SEVIS is back. www.dailycal.org/news/campus/...

I listened to this & I will be reading Steven Hahn's book. I particularly appreciated that he correctly pointed out that throughout US history in the 20th century when confronted with authoritarianism institutions mostly folded: they went along to get along. I've seen people acting like this is new.

While we rightfully focus on the March deportations to El Salvador, don’t forget the African and Asian migrants quietly removed to Panama in February. Both groups deserve #dueprocess protections under U.S. and international law. @MSNBC_reports #Immigration apnews.com/article/pana...

The Republican Party is being led by a tyrant whose regime is rounding up U.S. residents and throwing them in a foreign prison without due process. And this is the so-called "party of freedom"?

Of course advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this. The Secretary is unfit to lead.

The details keep coming out. We keep learning how Pete Hegseth put lives at risk. But Trump is still too weak to fire him. Pete Hegseth must be fired.

Chair Comer denied our request for an official trip to El Salvador to advocate for due process and the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Pretty shameful. Good thing I don’t need Comer’s permission to get on a plane.

I was alive and an adult during the Contract With America which some of us called the Contract On America. It was a gimmick but it worked. House Dems could create something similar: Be super clear about what would happen if there are elections and they win back the House starting DAY ONE.
