WOW: "The government is asserting a right to stash away residents of this country in foreign prisons without the semblance of due process that is the foundation of our constitutional order. This should be shocking to the sense of liberty that Americans far removed from courthouses still hold dear."

I'm not an economist, but I think Trump trying to remove Powell as Chairman of the Fed would be another massive hit to the stock market.

I think saying "in America, everyone is innocent until proven guilty" works better for low-info normies than saying "due process" does

🚨A U.S. born citizen was arrested in Florida for entering the state as an “unauthorized alien.” His mother and a community advocate showed his birth certificate during a hearing in Leon County. The judge said she had no authority to release him.

WOW. One of the Venezuelans whom Kristi Noem tried to render to El Salvador's slave prison managed to avoid removal and was able to make it to immigration court, and you'll never guess what happened: THE GOVERNMENT GAVE NO EVIDENCE OF HIS GANG MEMBERSHIP. Due process ftw

We are negotiating prison contracts with a president who once jailed his critics and journalists. And now Trump calls him a “model leader.” Our foreign policy is becoming a blueprint for domestic tyranny. #AreWeGreatYet #Bukele

Make *no* mistake, it wasn't an 'accidental' deportation, it was a test. Failing to abide by a court order sets up the precedent to ignore future court orders. This is not a drill.

Russian strikes on Kryvyi Rih, Kherson, Sumy, Odesa, Dnipro and many other Ukrainian cities are strikes on civilians. Deliberate strikes at locations where people are gathered. The Geneva Convention defines this as war crimes⤵️

when he sends citizens to foreign concentration camps, it’s no longer a slide to authoritarianism—it’s full blown fascism! 😔 this is not an administration, it’s a criminal regime in a hostile takeover of 🇺🇸 democracy. #FightFascism #TraitorTrump #DefendLiberty 🔔

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

I put a hold on Ed Martin’s nomination. He’s denied elections. Fired quality public servants. Attempted to chill free speech. Turns out he’s also carrying water for the Kremlin. So wholly unfit to be a U.S. Attorney.

So Van Hollen managed to meet with El Salvador's Vice President, and his honest answer to the question "why are you holding this man if neither your nor my government has evidence that he is MS-13" was "because America is paying us to hold him there?" Do I have that right?

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!!!

Honestly I'm glad they picked Harvard to try out this novel "we're mad" legal theory of revoking tax-exempt status, given its infinite resources, deep network of powerful alumni, and law school attended by 142 sitting federal judges. Good luck! 🫡

A reminder that there is no human being in the United States whom it would be legal to disappear to a Salvadoran prison without due process of law.

I've long thought food wars are silly. We're all human beings, I like to eat, and just about every culture has something good to put on your plates. In general, it's rude to yuck someone else's yum as long as it is edible, not wasteful, not harming others or the environment, etc. Just... scroll on.

Quick point. Congress can use the spending fight in September (remember Chuck Schumer surrendered till then) to prevent a single dollar from being used to house prisoners in El Salvador.
