I was denied permission to host a roundtable at the Puget Sound VA to hear from women veterans about their health care. I have NEVER been outright denied from having open & honest conversations with VA—until this administration. I'm demanding an answer from VA Secretary, Doug Collins.

Not to state the obvious, but none of them were sent to a terrorist prison in El Salvador. They all had lawyers, indictment by grand jury, a trial or a guilty plea where a judge ensured it was knowing & voluntary & access to an appeals process. In other words, all the hallmarks of due process.

They had lawyers, trials, most were given pretrial release, allowed to testify in their own defense, got discovery, could call witnesses, could cross-examine witnesses, could present mitigation at sentencing, and had a right to appeal.

By slashing teams that gather critical data, the Trump administration has left the federal government with no way of understanding if policies are working — and created a black hole of information whose consequences could ripple out for decades.

Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe, vulnerable, and alone. But when we find ourselves surrounded by courageous people and brave institutions, we can more easily find courage inside ourselves. This is the beauty of solidarity.

This is further evidence of Hegseth potentially endangering the lives of American soldiers. The appropriate response from the US government would be to open a counterintelligence investigation and possibly a criminal one www.nytimes.com/2025/04/20/u...

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

The Trump administration ripped Kilmar Abrego Garcia off the street, ignored due process, and illegally deported him to a torture prison in El Salvador. It is un-American, immoral, illegal, and needs to stop.

Elon & DOGE have NO business taking over the federal grant process and stealing YOUR taxpayer dollars to give more tax cuts for billionaires. Their hijacking of grants.gov for their corrupt purposes is unacceptable and must end.

In defiance of the Supreme Court & without any evidence, the White House claims that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a “terrorist,” who was “sent to the right place.” This is a blatant LIE. He is innocent. He cannot be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. He must be brought home.

What we all just witnessed had all the earmarks of a criminal conspiracy to deprive Abrego-Garcia of his constitutional rights, as well as an impeachable offense. The fraud scheme was a phony agreement engineered by the US to have Bukele say he lacks power to return Abrego Garcia and he won't do it.

Trump’s trade war is all pain and no plan—and it's families and small businesses who are suffering from the rising costs. Republicans need to join Democrats and reverse these massive taxes on working Americans.
