THIS is un-American— and illegal. There’s no reason to believe these folks would be afforded due process before being deported to El Salvador anymore than undocumented immigrants have been. 📌 Trump just proposed deporting US citizens, who have been convicted of certain crimes.

No one should be above the law, most especially the President. Ignoring a Supreme Court ruling to facilitate Kilmar Abrego Garcia's return isn't just cruel; it's unconstitutional. They're saying the quiet part aloud — if they get away with it now, they'll do it to anyone.

It's important for people to understand that we're on a trajectory that eventually leads to political prisoners (first non-citizens, then citizens) being sent to these camps.

“The Trump administration is indeed discussing this idea behind the scenes …. In their most serious form, these conversations have revolved around attempting to denaturalize American citizens and deport them to other countries, including El Salvador.”

@stephenneukam.bsky.social I'm reading your "Top Senate Dems propose emergency Social Security payment boost". Thank you for this info, but I have a nitpick: They're not entitlements, they're earned benefits. Please stop using Republican/Mitch McConnell terminology in your writing.

“…The viral outrage disseminated on social media actually reduces the effectiveness of collective action. The result is a media environment that keeps us in a state of debilitating fear and anger, endlessly reacting to our oppressors instead of organizing against them.”

SCOOP: DOGE notified the Institute of Museum and Library Sciences (IMLS) today that the entire staff is being put on administrative leave effective immediately, I’ve learned from an agency source. They’ll be cancelling huge swaths of grants/contracts and starting a Reduction in Force (RIF).

Chris Murphy: "They're sitting there telling the American people that 2+2=7...those were attack plans, those were war plans, that was classified information, everybody knows it. The idea that they think they can get away with this level of gaslighting- it just strikes at the foundation of democracy"

President Donald Trump may soon attempt to absorb the USPS, an independent agency, into his administration. The order could allow the Trump administration to make mail voting — which was used by tens of millions of voters last year — more difficult.

Hey, Politico -- I consider myself to have "long-term standing in the private legal community" and I have been willing to speak out almost every single day. And, I'm not alone. Yes, there is widespread cowardice among law firms, but don't ignore those refusing to bow down. Defiantly, Marc Elias

I think by mid-week Schumer and others Dems who demanded this are going to start to grasp the costs of this move. And not to the state even so much as to themselves. Some of it may be partly submerged in anger against Trump. But I think this will be the defining impression of Schumer and those …

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.
