Yeah... definitely pursue unconstitutional fights against the nation's top producer of elite lawyers which also has an endowment greater than the GDP of ~100 countries. This will go well.

A big reason the fascist administration doesn't want Mr. Abrego Garcia back in the U.S. is because they know that when he tells his story in his own words more people will be disgusted.

Shout out to Berine, to AOC, to Corey Booker, to Jamie Raskin, to Chris Van Hollen, to Jasmie Crockett, to Chris Murphy and a few others... When you show you are willing to fight for us, we will rally behind you! Keep it up! This moment calls for fighters, not career "politicians" #FORTHEPEOPLE

As long as we’re cracking down on leaks, seems like they’re forgetting some folks…

It's weird how the descendants of immigrants want mass deportation of immigrants.

Bone chilling. A court ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia to stay in the United States. The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that he was illegally removed. Trump is pretending he won the ruling 9-0. 1/ You may not think this case means anything to you. But let me tell you why it does.

There's been a LOT going on, but the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case really deserves all of our attention. Some thoughts at CAMPAIGN TRAILS: campaign-trails.ghost.io/homegrown-cr...

Seems like a good day to remind everyone that Auschwitz — a complex of over 40 concentration and extermination camps — was not located in Nazi Germany either.

At the very least. But also, what is the legal framework under which removal to an offshore death camp is legal? I know they have the right (and sometimes obligation) to deport people, but sending them expressly to a merciless fate seems different/specific.

Serious question: is the IRS really still a thing? Like, if you just didn't file this year, how long would it take them to figure it out, given that Elon, Big Balls, and the rest of the Dunning-Kruger Committee have surely clownfucked their systems from here to Jupiter?

I've seen some people saying how "AI"-generated text is now as good as certain published authors, and honestly I think it's really brave for these folks to admit in public how poor their reading comprehension has to be

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.

So if starting a trade war with the entire world is to make us less dependent on foreign products, especially in times of conflict, what's the plan for dealing with the fact that these same countries hold much of our $33 trillion debt, and could annihilate our entire economy in less than a week?

Let's work this the other way... There are ~194 sovereign nations in the world. Surely a news org with some resources and lost cred to make up (looking at you @nytimes.com) could start calling around to see who will admit to having reached out?

Dems need to make this a relentless drumbeat. Also, don’t let whisky/signalgate go! Just cause weirdo whipshawed 10’s of trillions of dollars doesn’t make it less important
