Kristi Noem, the homeland security secretary, bungled answers on Tuesday about habeas corpus, incorrectly saying that the legal right of people to challenge their detention by the government was actually the president’s “constitutional right” to deport people.

They're arresting Members of Congress. Perhaps a sternly-worded letter is in order. Or, perhaps, it's time to play some damn hardball with the DOJ.

Update—Democrats: Forget the signs. Call out the truth. Get loud. Take a stand. They kicked your colleague Rep. Al Green out for making his voice heard. Meet the moment. They would & have done this to you. Why are you rolling over & playing dead?

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

"We have to take care of our law enforcement," says Trump, standing inside the building where law enforcement were brutally attacked by a mob of his supporters that he sent to the Capitol.

“Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” You have to look no further than the pedestal of Lady Liberty to see what defines America. That’s who we are. This speech – and this President – is not who we are.

Sam Alito gave cities more leeway to dump raw sewage into our water supply by deploying a sleight of hand so clumsy that it would fail to impress a kindergarten class. This isn't statutory interpretation. It's a gut renovation of the Clean Water Act on behalf of polluters. slate.com/news-and-pol...

I’m headed to a corn and soybean farm in Cannon Falls to hear about the impact of Trump’s tariffs on Minnesota farmers. Farming is a tough job, and it certainly isn’t made any easier by two out-of-touch billionaires cutting off economic opportunities.

Justin Trudeau gave the exact kind of press conference today that we have been waiting for from our Democratic leaders. Watch it and learn from it. No gimmicks, no stunts, no script, no platitudes, no slogans, no games. Just straight talk, honesty, sincerity and facts.

Ten years ago, if someone told me that the United States would one day be an ally of Russia and fighting with Canada, I would have laughed. But I guess the laugh is on the USA for electing someone so petty, venal, and stupid.

A few weeks ago, I was assured by a Republican friend that the tariffs were merely a part of Trump’s negotiating genius and his strategy would bring everyone in the world to heel. How’s that working out?

Tonight Trump will address a coequal branch of government for which he has shown total contempt. Meanwhile my constituents are seeing their livelihoods destroyed by illegal actions. What he is doing is not normal, it is not acceptable, and I won't be attending. www.youtube.com/shorts/MlTIB...

VoteVets brought Veterans directly impacted by Trump & Musk’s cuts to meet with members of Congress. Many were fired, some lost healthcare—but they’re fighting back. Grateful to the lawmakers standing with them and pushing for accountability.
