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.

It takes a woman to take the lead. Murkowski is not always my cup of tea but as a republican sharing her (our) fears publicly is a glimmer of hope others may follow

🧵 Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, said this week that the threat of political "retaliation is real" under President Donald Trump as she expressed concerns about the administration's policies. While speaking to nonprofit leaders on Monday, she was asked about her message to Alaskans who are afraid.

By saying in public that she's really shook, Murkowski is being more honest than any other Republican senator right now. Not not heroic, but she's braver than her peers, and it's a start.

when he sends citizens to foreign concentration camps, it’s no longer a slide to authoritarianism—it’s full blown fascism! 😔 this is not an administration, it’s a criminal regime in a hostile takeover of 🇺🇸 democracy. #FightFascism #TraitorTrump #DefendLiberty 🔔

UP FIRST: A whistleblower who works at NLRB says that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data. And, the Trump administration froze over $2 billion for Harvard after it rejected demands.

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.

Keep talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not.

Before folks overreact to headlines about the judge’s ruling in the Khalil case, please note that (1) it was an immigration judge (IJ), not a federal district court; and (2) the IJ had no power to consider Khalil’s constitutional objections. This particular decision was a fait accompli.

Rep. Juan Ciscomani (R, gerrymandering), who is my “representative”, said he was against cutting Medicaid 3 weeks before he voted to cut Medicaid. I called his office in DC to remind him that Medicaid doesn’t just support people, it supports healthcare infrastructure. He’s a liar. 5calls.org
