Make sure you understand the SAVE Act, which will seriously suppress voting rights, not prevent fraud as its sponsors claim.

This is terrifying in America. ICE agents are showing up masked—these abductions must stop. If you’re going to detain someone, show your face, present a warrant, and proper ID. Disappearing people from their families without evidence or accountability isn’t law enforcement—it’s state-sponsored fear.

If Trump can claim a "national emergency" to disappear legal residents without due process, what’s to stop him from doing the same to U.S. citizens who oppose him? No one is safe — not even people legally in the country, possibly not even American citizens. Fascism is here.

The televised Oval Office meeting with Bukele is mockery. They’re mocking the press, their opposition, the courts, and the entire concept of justice. They’re mocking everyone who isn’t them. The abuser’s playbook yet again.

I WANT MORE PEOPLE TO KNOW DONALD TRUMP IS IGNORING A UNANIMOUS SUPREME COURT ORDER, THAT EVEN CLARENCE THOMAS AGREED WITH, TO RELEASE A MAN THE GOVERNMENT WRONGFULLY KIDNAPPED AND SENT TO A FOREIGN PRISON WITHOUT ANY EVIDENCE OF HIM COMMITTING A CRIME!

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring all removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. He’s defying the Supreme Court. Don’t you see what’s happening here?

My thread on today's hearing for Rümeysa Öztürk, now complete! TLDR: The judge seemed inclined to order Öztürk transferred from Louisiana to Vermont so she could assist in her case. He sounded open to releasing her from ICE detention altogether but wanted a hearing with chance to enter evidence.

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind. An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one." The other said, "Take him anyway." So they did.

The 22nd Amendment says it plain: “No person shall be elected to the office of the president more than twice.” Bannon on Bill Maher, straight-up said Trump’s going for a 3rd term — and they’ve got a “team” working to circumvent the Constitution. They’re not joking. They’re plotting. Believe them.

Chasten and I are relieved that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe. While we wait to learn more, this much is clear: the targeting of a public official and his family - especially a prominent Jewish official on a major Jewish holiday - is unconscionable and has no place in our country.

Remember Fiona Hill? She’s now sounding the alarm again: “We’re definitely on a path toward full-on state repression. There’s no question about it. I’ve thought about this for an extraordinarily long time.” When Fiona speaks, we should all listen.

So the govt. cut the healthcare benefits that supplied my mother-in-law, who is 70 yrs, $250 supplement for groceries every month. No notice just cut them and she found out at the checkout line. How awful. Just hurting seniors 😡. Imagine how many seniors had to put their groceries back.😡

After Helene struck in late September, the Biden administration gave the green light for FEMA to reimburse North Carolina on 100% of disaster relief assistance — particularly with debris removal and emergency protective services. The cost-share allowed state officials to plow ahead on time.

When Rubio announced the agreement with El Salvador in February he touted it as a way to outsourcing the federal prison system by allowing the US to send American citizen inmates there to serve their . This undercuts the Trump administration’s claim to the courts that it can’t get people back.

The Justice Department asked a federal judge late Thursday to release a former FBI informant from prison pending appeal of his conviction on charges that he peddled misleading claims seized on by Trump allies to falsely accuse the Biden family of taking bribes.
