This isn't hypothetical. The coming days are bringing higher prices and disrupted supply chains, this time not because of a pandemic or a war, but self-inflicted by our country's government under this president.

People are NOT understanding what empty cargo ships from China means. It means no work for dock workers. No work for truck drivers, no work for retailers, fewer dollars circulating. The cascade effect is just mind boggling.

At a hundred days into his presidency, Joe Biden had a 52% approval rating. As we near the hundred days mark in his second term, Donald Trump has a 39% approval rating. Here's how those numbers were framed by the media:

First, Trump ignored the Supreme Court. Now, his FBI arrested a judge. This administration is threatening our country’s judicial system. This rings serious alarm bells.

Judge Hannah Dugan has spent much of her career working with legal aid organizations to support poor and marginalized people. She was just arrested by FBI agents for standing up to ICE agents. Fascism is here.

Chopra: Either we jumpstart into a new mindset and become the change we want to see in the world—or we continue walking toward extinction. So maybe, nature might say to itself: “The human species was an interesting experiment in evolution. It didn’t work. Let’s try something else.”

Friendly reminder. In the United States, criminals are entitled to due process. Even if you pay hush money rig an election, steal top secret documents, or incite a mob to overthrow the government; no matter how egregious your crimes, you’re entitled to due process.

I’m glad SCOTUS stepped in & stopped that plane from taking off. Deporting folks with no record & no due process isn’t justice—it’s cruelty. Meanwhile, the Republicans follow a convicted felon like he’s the Second Coming. You can’t scream “law & order” while breaking the law at every turn.

Trump fabricates a photo of Mr. Garcia with MS-13 tattoo on his hand. This is NOT a real image. Trump and his regime fabricated it. Please understand that Trump regime would fabricate evidence to put you or your family in jail. This is what FASCISM regimes do. www.mediaite.com/trump/trump-...

The Supreme Court blocked the Trump admin from deporting Venezuelans out of the Bluebonnet facility in TX — for now. The Alien Enemies Act of 1798 has NO place in modern immigration policy. This pause is a win, but the fight is far from over. And yes — Thomas & Alito dissented. Of course they did.

Wait, who was president when this was happening? They always leave that out of the Great Retcon. Propaganda 101. Trump ran the government during the construction of the supposed “censorship complex.” During election 2020. During vax development. And during the implementation of these policies.

Over 1,000 international students had their legal status snatched by the Trump admin—no warning, no hearing, no due process. This ain’t immigration policy. It’s a power trip.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Let me thank my Senate colleague @vanhollen.senate.gov for his trip to visit Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Mr. Abrego Garcia was wrongfully imprisoned. As the Supreme Court indicated, there was no basis for his warrantless arrest. The Trump admin must obey the law. He must be returned home.
