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.

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you. The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

Wow. Harvard University says they will not comply with Trump’s demand to “audit” the viewpoints of their student body or else be defunded. More of this.

I'm not saying journalists should never interview admitted propagandists. There are journalistic reasons to do so. But if we do, we must be prepared to -- in fact it is our duty to -- challenge vociferously all unsubstantiated claims. Otherwise, we ourselves become propagandists.

I cannot overstate the importance of reading books, particularly novels by respected authors, for critical thinking skills and reading comprehension. If the big gun novelists don't interest you, start small and work your way up. Or read whatever interests you. Just read. Or listen. It's all books.

Today Trump and Netanyahu talked about their plan to have Palestinians "voluntarily" leave Gaza. Let's be clear: nothing about this is voluntary — it would mean the coerced deportation of 2 million people from Gaza and U.S. taxpayers should have NOTHING to do with it.

Trump is trying to rewrite the history of the Underground Railroad — even diminishing its conductor, MD's own Harriet Tubman. The Underground Railroad is an important part of the American story. We cannot let him whitewash it as part of his larger effort to erase our history.

"I came because I don't want them to take away the Social Security," #HandsOff rally-goer Jim Carson told our @juliannemcshane.bsky.social. "That's stealing it—we all paid already!" Julianne reported from her small hometown of Marshfield, which votes more red than MA, for this dispatch.

More than 500 law firms on Friday threw their support behind some of their embattled peers, declaring that President Trump’s recent crackdown on the law firm industry poses “a grave threat to our system of constitutional governance and to the rule of law itself.”

Care to guess whether the people who obliterated your retirement accounts this week are being competent about protecting our national security? Maybe check with Jeff Goldberg or Laura Loomer?

Let's be clear: Donald Trump's plan for big, across-the-board tariffs will raise prices for working people. This isn't "Liberation Day" — it's National Sales Tax Day. I'm on the Senate floor now to fight this sham. Tune in:
