Can’t believe it’s #america 💔

As a person of Christian faith, with a Jewish husband, and agnostic daughters, I respect the right of all people to believe, or not believe as they see fit. I don’t bring a copy of the Constitution to church, and I don’t bring a Bible with me to vote. Separation of church and state protects us all.

Bring back *everyone* who was sent from the U.S. to CECOT in El Salvador. *No one* should be sent there. ALL their rights were violated. ALL of them should come home.

Marco Rubio just announced 10 more people were sent to be imprisoned in CECOT. They were flown there from Gitmo to be imprisoned potentially for life based not on any crime for which they were convicted, but on unproven allegations of gang membership with no due process. This is not lawful.

America's Most Wanted

Forget about the legal case. A man was wrongly deported and placed in a notorious prison with leaders of a gang out to get him. Anyone with an ounce of basic human decency would fix the mistake and return that man to the United States

Art of the Deal!

I really hope this person sues DOGE. A senior executive at the Social Security Administration was physically dragged from his office this week after clashing with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), according to The Washington Post. www.thedailybeast.com/doge-goons-p...

Bernie Sanders made a surprise appearance at Coachella 2025 last night. So he went from the LA rally to Coachella. He's 83 and fighting like this. This should be an inspiration to all of us. If he can do this, we can all do a little more.

L - The official photo from the Kremlin of US Special Envoy @SteveWitkoff putting his hand over his heart as he greets his friend Vladimir Putin again this week. R - Putin’s latest missile attack killing at least 21 people, including 7 children, on Palm Sunday. Putin’s stooge.

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse and I discuss the ongoing influence of dark money in the courts, how the Trump administration is tearing apart the Justice Department and Elon Musk-led threats against judges. youtu.be/bpUSPPzHa0k

Democratic House Rep. Jason Crow: "If you don’t have the courage to stand up and fight for the people you represent—you don’t belong in office." 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

In RI, Edesia Nutrition provides lifesaving assistance to impoverished people around the world. I had the chance to thank Navyn Salem for her company’s persistence during a time of major uncertainty.

DC RUMORS: MTG and her mother are being investigated for insider trading.

There’s a special place in HELL for anyone who stands before the Supreme Court and argues that a man they wrongfully sent to an El Salvadorian death camp should stay there.

More lost American business; more lost American jobs.

If Kristi Noem can go down to El Salvador and take concentration camp selfies, then DOJ can figure out where Abrego Garcia is. Just start jailing people for contempt of court until they find out.

Raskin: If they can just sweep someone off the street, put them on an airplane, and send them to a torturer’s prison in an authoritarian state like El Salvador without due process… then they could do it to anybody.

Never. Forget. Never. Forgive. ✨

It has been 18 days since we learned that those involved in Signalgate recklessly endangered the lives of American pilots. The fact that there has been no Congressional investigation is an abomination. This should outrage every single Member of Congress.

An innocent man, picked up by “mistake,” must not be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. Mr. President. Obey the courts. Obey our Constitution. Bring him home immediately.

Hard to believe the hill the Justice Department wants to die on, we don’t want to comply with your order so we aren’t going to. Nothing like engaging in explicitly lawless behavior they don’t even pretend to regret.

If you're a Democratic elected leader and ever find yourself about to say "well...I think Trump has the right idea here in some ways..." just...fucking...stop. This is not the moment for nuanced policy discussions. Stop trying to give him credit. No one wants to hear nuance or wonky policy talk now!

Everyone has their own priorities and no one can possibly attend to or care about every fire this regime sets. But ppl being disappeared without due process and sent to a foreign prison should fully panic everyone body and soul and I need more folks with bigger voices to start screaming about it

All work has dignity. We need to raise the minimum wage.

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration. So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives. So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv... Free speech is over when professors start looking over their shoulders! End of an era.

interesting how rapidly academic freedom and free speech disappeared from the conversation after dominating it for years and years www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Over 650 known cases so far, and most have nothing to do with pro-Palestinian advocacy. The admin seems to be engaged in a breakneck effort to kick out every foreign student who has had even the most minor interaction with the police possible, including for TRAFFIC CITATIONS and JAYWALKING tickets.

NEW: The Board of Immigration Appeals has been formally reduced from 28 members to 15 members, an action which "coincidentally" purges every single Board member appointed during the Biden administration. This comes as the BIA faces record backlogs — which will now get much worse.

Republicans complain about “canceling” and about “free speech” being curtailed — until it’s MAGA orthodoxy. Such hypocrisy.

This week! Fizzing, stomach churning, mind bending, wrenching, beyond sane. I think my reaction must be PTSD or insanity. I’ve never had either before and I’ve lived through some crazy times. Worst year of my life!
