If you’re an ICE agent, just remember: “I was just following orders” won’t ever be enough to wipe the moral stain from your life and everyone who remembers you. Forever, in our country’s memory, you’ll be known by your heinous actions.

In this country, everyone has constitutional rights—not just US citizens. Van Hollen did what few have the guts to do—he showed up. In person. For someone our government is using as a pawn. The Constitution says “persons,” not “citizens.” Due process is not optional.

The tariff saga and its impact on disabled people cannot be separated from the administration’s brutal cuts to Medicaid. “It’s really the most vulnerable of the most vulnerable…who need technologies to live.”

Popok: This is not just about Abrego Garcia—and they’re right. It’s not about whether he is or isn’t MS-13. This is about the rule of law and our co-equal branches of government. This is about greater principles.

Update: Vouchers passed. And while Texas Democratic reps were happy to give grandstanding speeches for their own social media brands, they of course didn't do anything to actually try and gum up the works. Love having an "opposition" party!

This is Scott – a CDC researcher working to help screen coal miners for black lung. His entire department was eliminated last week, leaving miners across the country at greater risk of sickness and death. I’m fighting back.

UPDATE: ICE is wildly unconcerned about where this man is and no one will tell me, his registered attorney. The universal answer so far is "let's wait and see where he ends up." This is deeply off. We would have more rights at this point if UPS had lost a pair of shoes I'd just bought from Zappos

I explained it to several young teens today: imagine we wanted you to become more self-sufficient in the kitchen, so we decided to charge you $20 every time you got takeout. But also we have no food in the house, we won't let you go to the store, and also you don't know how to cook.

I’m so sick of this shit. Our history is real, whether you like it or not. It may be horrific, but we must tell it exactly like it happened, not some whitewashed version. MAGA Republicans desperately want to rewrite American history Do not let them get away with it! www.wmur.com/article/list...

I feel like it should be a bigger controversy that the US SecDef doesn’t think germs are real than the fact he doesn’t think national security/security clearance is real. But that is because I know that the #1 killer of military service members - far and away - has always been infectious diseases.

Amazing. Even the Trump administration's own lawyer can't explain the legal basis for deporting the Salvadoran man who was removed in "error." Is JD Vance going to do some snide little tweets about this DOJ lawyer now? www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

We learned so much about airborne transmission in the last 5 years, yet have done little with that knowledge. We could have clean air benchmarks in public spaces. Free respirators to anyone who needs them. PSAs about masking. We could have greatly reduced ALL airborne disease.

The more coverage a story gets, the more important readers think it is. So it matters when the NYT inflates flimsy Dem ‘scandals’ while downplaying real, criminal ones from Trump and Republicans. It’s not just bad judgment — it shapes public perception.
