Trump and Bukele are power-hungry rulers, yet suddenly neither has the power to return Kilmar to his family. Bullshit. Trump is paying Bukele to keep Kilmar in prison. If asking Bukele doesn’t work (it will), stop paying him. This isn’t complicated. But it is inhumane.

Trump is defying a Supreme Court judgement to return a man wrongfully deported to a foreign prison without any due process. This. Is. A. Constitutional. Crisis. Not that you would know from today’s front pages. Most suggest it’s all El Salvador’s fault. A colossal failure of mainstream media.

Move over Liz Truss lettuce, bring it on ultra-processed Donald Trump. More staying power with less quality I suppose.

He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. He’s defying the Supreme Court. Don’t you see what’s happening here?

The refusal to provide people due process before shipping them off to foreign prisons is criminal and intolerable. It must not be normalized. Everyone who believes in justice and America needs to speak up now.

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

If President Trump can wrongly deport a Maryland father to a prison in El Salvador and then defy a 9-0 Supreme Court order to facilitate bringing him home, who’s next? This threatens the rights and freedoms of everyone in the United States.

The House passed the SAVE Act, which will disenfranchise millions of voters, including women who change their last names after marriage. We need to be making it easier, not harder, for Americans to exercise their right to vote.

Donald Trump is not a king, and Congress is not powerless. Republicans have a choice to make. They can continue to bow down to Donald Trump while he sabotages our economy, or they can stand up for the American people who elected them and vote to end this tariff game.

I'm calling for an investigation into whether President Trump manipulated the market to benefit his Wall Street donors—all while working people and small businesses paid the price. Did Trump help insiders cash in on his tariff flip-flopping? It sure looks like corruption.

Our economy is not a toy you can rattle around without consequence. These actions affect real people, their retirements, their grocery bills, and their small businesses. Donald Trump’s only strategy is being hellbent on ruining our reputation and credibility around the world.

Journalists: you cannot deport U.S. citizens out of their own country. Do not simply regurgitate the words of the administration if those words are inaccurate. To do so is spreading disinformation. Deportation, according to the govt itself, is for people with no legal right to be here.

Another similarity between Trump & Truss is that we risk fixating too much on them personally. As I wrote here, the bigger question is how people so unfit to govern were put in positions of power. And that's about the systemic failures of their parties & political systems unherd.com/2023/01/liz-...

President Trump is using the Abrego Garcia case to establish a truly chilling proposition: that no one can stop him from imprisoning anyone he wants anywhere else in the world never to be seen or heard from again. His dream is to preside over a police state. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/09/o...

Kidnapping. Capturing a person against their will without due process is called kidnapping. Transporting them to another country without due process is called human trafficking. A squalid extrajudicial prison for people found guilty of no crime is called a concentration camp.

For perspective, not only a 1,500% increase in ICE detention and transport but that's 5x the budget of the entire federal Bureau of Prisons, or 3x the budget of the entire Coast Guard.

This resolution from @meeks.house.gov @neal.house.gov @repricklarsen.bsky.social, which I cosponsored, has privilege on the House floor. We are going to force House Republicans to vote on Trump's crazy tariffs and the destruction they are unleashing on our economy.

As a reminder, when Trump says he is putting massive tariffs on China, or any nation, that means he is putting a massive tax on YOU. China doesn't pay a single penny. You, the consumer, do.

The year after Trump’s last tax giveaway, Amazon paid $0 in federal income taxes, while the typical Boston public school teacher paid about $10,000. I asked Senate Republicans: Can we agree that no billionaire corporation should get another tax handout? Republicans voted no.
