I’m sorry. What?!?! www.nytimes.com/2025/05/06/u...

Ann Telnaes won a Pulitzer Prize after she resigned from the Washington Post after they refused to publish her cartoon. Bravo Pulitzer board for giving Bezos the bird! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

I grew up believing that we had learned the lessons of the German poem and Martin Luther King Jr's speeches. We would all speak out if we saw democracy threatened and the rule of law under attack. I will always speak out against wrong. I will always stand up for democracy. I will not back down.

Exactly this!

NASA is getting cut because of greed. More money to Elon, Trump, and everyone that licks their boots. They view America as their piggy bank as they do the largest HEIST in history!

"I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

This guy outside the Capitol seems to really be enjoying his weekend. What a vibe.

People still do not grasp that the constitutional right to due process is afforded anyone inside the U.S. REGARDLESS of status. Even if you’re just visiting here.

Congrats everyone — we are at the point where The Onion and real life are indistinguishable from one another. 😳🇺🇸 theonion.com/ice-agents-w...

Imagine if when we invaded Iraq, three years in we only took a sliver of the country at the cost of 800,000 men. Would the conventional wisdom be that we are winning? No? Then why do some think Russia is?

Federal workers SAVE the government money, that’s why firing them is COSTING the government money. This isn’t difficult.

This is the best 100-day recap I’ve seen — and it begs the damn question: Why is his approval rating still 39%? Are folks in a coma?

Make Arsenic Great Again? Trump rolls back regulations on poisonous pollution and harmful waste, making it more likely that Americans will be exposed to toxins. app.sosha.ai/s/7Ju3Kswt

My wife and I visited the African-American Museum in D.C. a year ago. It was overwhelming — and unforgettable. We left knowing we’d be back. If Trump succeeds in deleting our history from the museum, there’ll be nothing left. This is what erasure looks like —and it’s happening right in front of us.

Damn

The American tourism industry is sooooooo screwed.

Don’t let the arrest of a Federal Judge distract you from the announcement that ICE can enter anyone’s home without a warrant to look for migrants.

WTAF America!

The FBI is arresting judges. We just blew through Constitutional Crisis and into fascism.

BREAKING: The FBI has arrested a judge who helped migrants avoid ICE. This judge is a hero. www.jsonline.com/story/news/b...

BREAKING: The constitutional crisis has arrived. We knew it was coming, just not when.

Their war against the judiciary…has begun. www.cnbc.com/2025/04/25/f...

The EPA is firing employees focused on children’s health simply because their job descriptions include DEI. These 10 regional children’s health coordinators have worked closely with schools and local institutions to prevent and address environmental hazards that put kids at risk.

NEW: The Trump administration doxxed the wife of Abrego Garcia. We discuss on today’s pod. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Pope Francis lifted the world as he led the Church with his profound moral voice. As he returns to God, may his call to humility and concern for the least among us continue to resound.

Sen. Van Hollen: "I don't think it's ever wrong to fight for the constitutional rights of one person because if we give up on one person's rights, we threaten everybody's rights...Anyone who is not prepared to stand up and fight for the Constitution doesn't deserve to lead."

Friendly reminder. In the United States, criminals are entitled to due process. Even if you pay hush money rig an election, steal top secret documents, or incite a mob to overthrow the government; no matter how egregious your crimes, you’re entitled to due process.

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 only about one man, as important as that is. It is about protecting fundamental freedoms and the fundamental principle in the Constitution for due process that protects everyone who resides in America."

We apologize for the length of this post, but we felt it was important to share the full details with you.

Dear senators who think you can’t do anything, Today, Senator Van Hollen - through diplomatic pressure - got a meeting with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. So that thing you’re thinking about doing? DO IT. ~ All of Us

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.

The only reason we ever became concerned with a “trade deficit” was in the 80s when Japanese car companies were eating American companies lunch. That’s it. It’s not meant to be an economic strategy. I have a trade deficit with Applebees but we’re fine

Can anyone tell me what the current tariff is on goods (specifically knitting yarn) coming from Canada into the US is? As a consumer, where would I find this info?

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

Booker: "This isn't just about Mr. Garcia. This is about every American understanding that this president is making an assault on the due process rights that are afforded to people in our country ... you cannot disappear people off American streets."
