Pope Francis lifted the world as he led the Church with his profound moral voice. As he returns to God, may his call to humility and concern for the least among us continue to resound.

Reminds me of all the Republicans in Congress who celebrated the Fourth of July in Moscow. Except they were there to celebrate Putin and never updated their plaques. Chris Van Hollen traveled to save a constituent. These assholes won’t even show up at a townhall in their district

The protests are not for Trump to see, they are so you can all see each other and grow. It's not the protest itself that tyrants are afraid of, but the networks and community you can grow from them. Your strength is your unity and that's why the enemy thrives by demoralizing and dividing you. #3E

Today was truly inspiring. Something happened that we’ve never seen before, you made noise in places that rarely see protests like this. Communities across traditionally conservative areas hosted historic turnouts.

The issue is not whether Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a gang member or undocumented or “a criminal,” though he has no criminal history. The issue is due process. I’ll discuss with Ari Melber at 6 pm ET on @MSNBC.

The attack on Josh Shapiro and his family did not happen in a vacuum. Incendiary rhetoric, purposeful disinformation — it all helped lead to this hateful and destructive act. Leaders need to be conscious of their words having consequences.

“‘We are all afraid,’ Murkowski said, taking a long pause. ‘It’s quite a statement. But we are in a time and a place where I certainly have not been here before. And I’ll tell ya, I’m oftentimes very anxious myself about using my voice, because retaliation is real. And that’s not right.’”

The Vice President of El Salvador has told US Senator Van Hollen that the reason they are still holding Kilmar Abrego Garcia is due to the Trump regime paying them to do so. Trump needs to be arrested and brought up on human trafficking charges. #3E

RFK Jr.’s lies about autism are disgraceful — and I won't share them to spread misinformation. He consistently undermines public health and reinforces dangerous myths. In Illinois, we stand with those with autism, and I’ll keep fighting for inclusion, science, and the truth.

Just so I am keeping everything straight…the government can’t tell you to wear a mask because FREEDOM!!!!, but it can decide you are a “terrorist” and send you to a foreign gulag without due process and throw away the key. That right?

Trump's tariffs have cost the US nearly $30 trillion, this translates to an additional $300,000 per family of four. That’s more damage than any economic policy pursued by any president in US history. He's bankrupting the country in real time. fortune.com/2025/04/04/l...

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.

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

Republicans are trying to steal an election in North Carolina. They have been laying the groundwork for five months, and unless the federal courts intervene, they just might succeed. If they do, it could usher in a new era of election subversion in future contests across the country.

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

The next steps are clear. We must ask ourselves — what is even one more tangible thing we can be doing? This will take work, grit, and determination—but this is how change happens. Don't let your inability to do everything undermine your determination to do something in the cause of our country.
