What a way to run a country

it is crazy to me that we have pundits, pollsters and democratic strategists staring directly at trump diving head first in a quagmire of a scandal and insisting that it is bad politics to make hay of it

I don't remember the last time I was this emotionally invested

Van Hollen: "As the federal courts have said, we need to bring Mr. Abrego Garcia home to protect his constitutional rights to due process...If you deny the constitutional rights of one man, you threaten the constitutional rights and due process for everyone else in America."

This is not normal. This government gets closer and closer every day to declaring war on its own people. This post is a clear and direct statement of intention to defy the Supreme Court and end rule of law in the United States.

Don't let America's last words be "We didn't think it could happen here"

under joe biden we had three (3) irs commissioners in 4 years under trump we have had four (4) irs commissioners in *checks notes* 4 *months*

It is time for Trump to put up or shut up in Court. A FEDERAL JUDGE said “no evidence before the court connects Abrego Garcia to MS-13 or any criminal organization.” No one is vouching for one man. We are standing up for EVERYONE’s right to due process under the Constitution.

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.

ICE has been given quotas for removal. They gotta make their numbers whether it’s legal or not.

A new moment for the Democratic Party. The emerging fault line isn't about ideology, or age, or diversity — it's action vs. passivity. Who is able to use their platform to break through and rally voters against Trump's agenda. Liberal and moderate Dems are unified in wanting more of that.

SARA EISEN: What evidence is there of corruption? WARREN: He announces tariff policy, says there's no exceptions, but "I talked to Tim Cook." Really? E: Shouldn't he? W: "Great deal available for Tim Cook" E: It's great for Americans who have to buy iPhones W: No. It's great for one company

On CNBC today, Elizabeth Warren had to explain to anchor Sara Eisen that Congress can in fact take away Trump's tariffs authority, and also that America is not ruled by a king who can make laws by decree.

NEWS: Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson, a Reagan appointee, assails the Trump admin’s behavior in the Abrego Garcia case in a unanimous opinion rejecting DOJ’s request for the Fourth Circuit to block Judge Xinis’s order that the government “facilitate” his return. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Just a reminder that Trump/DOJ continuing to let Abrego Garcia sit in CECOT is *a crime*. Deprivation of rights under color of law is a crime. Was it an "error" at first? Maybe. But once they were aware of the error, and ordered by a judge to return him, and then refusing, it's willful 1/

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.

Senator Van Hollen is a hero.

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

Thank you, Senator, for fighting for Kilmar and all of us.

BREAKING US Senator Chris Van Hollen confirms he was able to meet with his constituent Kilmar Abrego Garcia Abrego Garcia is currently imprisoned in El Salvador after being deported there by error (according to the Trump administration’s initial statements).

When Trump threatened to fire Jay Powell in his first term, the Fed chief was told it would be illegal but he would have to personally contest it in court. Privately, Powell vowed that he would "spend my last nickel fighting" it, as @sbg1.bsky.social and I reported in "The Divider."

Ah. The old “potential terrorist” argument for locking people up in a concentration camp for life. How many pardoned seditionists were “terror watchlist people”?

Glad House Dems are demanding a full briefing—because immigration agents showed up at L.A. elementary schools, and DHS lied about it. Watch the video. Hear the truth from L.A.’s superintendent. Then ask why the hell Homeland Security is targeting kids. Don’t let this go!!!

“The White House did not respond to a request for comment.” www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

Attention: Musk’s staffers are now seeking access to a sensitive Medicare database as part of their crackdown on undocumented immigrants. DOGE was never about saving the U.S. money—it’s about building a government-run machine to weaponize personal data.

Excellent. Here’s the habeas lawsuit filed in DC for all the men disappeared to CECOT we were waiting for.

This is the kind of thing that, if true, leads to life sentences for treason

“One of the top MS-13 members”? This woman is an officer of the court and the Attorney General of the United States. She knows that she wields immense power and responsibility. Yet here she is on national TV, making baseless claims about a guy her boss wrongly sent to a gulag in El Salvador.

A government-imposed $8 limit on most credit card late fees is the latest consumer protection regulation to be scrapped by President Trump’s administration.
