That canceled TV show you’ll never stop thinking about

“Recently deputized” means “frustrated gym bros who wanna carry guns and boss people around.” It’s always the biggest failures at life who sign up first to be enforcers, torturers and concentration camp guards. This is beyond fucking dangerous and it’s gonna get people killed.

I'm bringing Alf back from the ashes. The newskies did everything to destroy Alf, his reputation, all of the elders that love him so much. They tore down his pictures, and put up nothing but "PRUDE," or even worse, nothing at all! Well, you'll be happy to know, Alf is going to make a major comeback.

we will never let you edit posts. you must wear each typo as an albatross. you will bear the weight of your hubris

EVERYONE SHOULD BE WORRIED ABOUT THIS EVERYONE.

I filmed this yesterday on my way to Lousiana where my constituent Rümeysa Öztürk is being wrongfully held by ICE. I’m there now demanding her release. More to come.

WELCOME TO A NEW SEASON OF

I don't know if this is the best humpback whale breaching footage of my life, but I SAID IT WAS when I took it! 🦑

This guy is great at this, and thank god.

Things my 6 y/o niece said while watching a documentary about Amelia Earhart: "She spent her last days on an island without her parents. Abandoned. Broken hearted." "She probably had no food or water. If only she had some coconuts" (1/2)

I went to El Salvador hoping to meet with Kilmar and check on his well-being, and I had the chance to do that last night. Our courts have been clear: this was an ILLEGAL abduction. I’m speaking now about my meeting with Kilmar and our work to bring him home:

Van Hollen: This case is not just about one man. It's about protecting the Constitutional rights of everybody who resides in the United States of America.

Important to note the Potemkin villages they're going to set up each time someone with a soul goes down to monitor the conditions of the concentration camp are part of the war crime itself. The audience for this propaganda is MAGA rubes, not The Hague, which will be indifferent.

Bare-bones docket for Juan Carlos Lopez Gomez (misspelled in the file as "Jaun")

I think what’s most striking about the last few months is how rarely anyone in the GOP applies this simple test. A lot of checks and balances rely on this kind of worrying about precedent but it’s now totally absent, as if they don’t think they’ll ever be out of power again.

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.

Van Hollen says that he asked the VP of El Salvador why his government continues to hold Abrego Garcia even though he’s not charged with any crime and there’s no evidence that he’s MS-13. “His answer was that the Trump administration is paying the government of El Salvador to keep him at CECOT”

conversely, the second you give in to him on anything, he senses weakness and keeps demanding more and more the only viable response to Trump is to loudly and fully stand up to him from the start - whatever consequences he is able to impose will pale in comparison to giving in

We must all stand as a united front against the kidnapping and illegal detention of Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. Senator, I am willing to join you and help Organize other members of the House to do the same. @vanhollen.senate.gov

I wonder how many unsolicited donations Harvard will get from alumni this week. I bet if they shared those numbers, more schools would join them

Today's recalcitrant DOJ update on Kilmar Abrego Garcia predictably reopens the tedious debate over the meaning of "facilitate." DOJ claims it means merely *permitting* his entrance into the US, without requiring "any affirmative steps." DOJ is wrong. đź§µ storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The president told a Central American dictator to build five more massive slave labor camps to hold US citizens.

periodic reminder that while USA is not signed on to the whole International Criminal Court project, El Salvador is

Trump is openly planning another holocaust

There we go. Support this man.

Merwil Gutiérrez had no criminal record when ICE agents detained the 19-year-old outside his home. Now his father, Wilmer, is still searching for answers.

I would regain so much faith in the Democratic Party if every Democrat in Congress physically went to El Salvador this week

Every democrat in congress should do this

Living rent free in the Governor’s head is fun! God forbid Democrats and Republicans agree that we should restore transparency to University Presidential searches and allow merit to be the decider, not political preference.

Imagine trying to deport someone for their "expected beliefs"

When I get really down, I think about the possibility of a fatal ketamine overdose and then I feel a little better

It would be a lot easier to cope with everything if it wasn’t going to last for 4 fucking years. Just sayin’

If/when democrats get power again, those responsible for all of this shit should be publicly executed by guillotine

For general awareness, this is what undocumented immigrants pay in taxes $11.74 billion in state and local taxes including more than $7 billion in sales and excise taxes $3.6 billion in property taxes And $1.1 billion in personal income taxes
