I am not going to claim this stuff is easy but I do think TV networks can make it simple. If you're a news department, your job is to present facts. Every time something false makes it on your air uncorrected, you failed. If you start from that rule, it should guide what you do from there.

And also note that our nation was the most prosperous with those 1950s/1960s tax rates (not the gilded age as Trump contends) AND the wealth gap shrunk (the middle class grew) And it happened under both Democratic and Republican presidents #TaxTheRich

👇🎯 They. Are. Breaking. Signed. Contracts. For. No. Legal. Reason. You want to pass legislation not funding this stuff going forward? Fine. Epically idiotic, but legal. This is something else. Shredding the basic foundations of the rule of law. Textbook authoritarianism.

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.

Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen went to El Salvador to lobby for the release of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, whose deportation has gripped the U.S. He isn't the only lawmaker with such a trip in mind.

It was great to see NABTU come out swinging. The entire labor movement should be mobilized behind this. Not just speeches and skeets, full out pressure on Democrats to fight and people in the streets. We can't play business as usual while they're disappearing our members. bsky.app/profile/nycl...

I happen to know that some powerful media orgs were unhappy that AP filed suit; they thought the conflict with the White House would blow over on its own and that AP risked making bad law. The AP's leadership deserves a lot of credit for having proceeded as it did. apnews.com/article/trum...

Gaza has been shut off from the world for 18 months. Do we think this is the only time the IDF have deliberately massacred civilians or aid workers, or is it the first time they’ve been caught doing it with proof the British press feel is so undeniable and egregious, that it has to be addressed?

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

And to be clear, the government's argument in the Abrego Garcia case would apply even if it sent someone, including a U.S. citizen, to a foreign prison intentionally and with full knowledge that it was violating the law in doing so.
