Odd, how the United States doesn't have enough money to give sick veterans healthcare, impoverished seniors Social Security, or hungry schoolkids lunches, but it does have enough money to pay a Central American dictator millions to torture American residents in his brutal concentration camp.

The Dallas ICE office is involved in a mass removal effort targeting nearly 200 people — many without removal orders — scheduled to be deported to El Salvador today. This is not just cruel – it is lawless. I refuse to stay quiet while families are being torn apart, and lives are being put at risk.

By defying the Supreme Court’s order to return Abrego Garcia from El Salvador, Trump is laying the groundwork to do the same to U.S. citizens. Now is the time to speak out — before there is no one left to speak. We are on a path towards dictatorship.

I bears repeating that the reprehensible Pam Bondi is just making up lies about the innocent people she is condemning to a life of torture. Most of them did not commit any crimes--unlike Pam Bondi, who took a bribe as a public official. She is downright evil.

They are snatching people off the street and sending them away to brutal prisons in foreign lands with zero due process - and they won't even bring them back when they realize a mistake was made. That's frightening stuff for any American who actually loves their country. #StopTrumpsTerror

Republicans' solution to the Republican-caused, wholly unnecessary economic turmoil Americans are currently going through? Make up a silly name ("Panican") to mock Americans who are genuinely worried about losing their savings and jobs. They are so mature and constructive that way.

Really feel like I’m losing my mind: government OBVIOUSLY cannot punish an individual law firm for hiring someone it disfavors! It’s ludicrously unconstitutional and I feel like without a day of law school I could argue the case. And yet the best paid lawyers in the country are folding?
