Chasten and I are relieved that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe. While we wait to learn more, this much is clear: the targeting of a public official and his family - especially a prominent Jewish official on a major Jewish holiday - is unconscionable and has no place in our country.

Marco Rubio just announced 10 more people were sent to be imprisoned in CECOT. They were flown there from Gitmo to be imprisoned potentially for life based not on any crime for which they were convicted, but on unproven allegations of gang membership with no due process. This is not lawful.

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

An innocent man, picked up by “mistake,” must not be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. Mr. President. Obey the courts. Obey our Constitution. Bring him home immediately.

Not one reporter asked about the Executive Orders targeting Chris Krebs & Miles Taylor during today’s Cabinet press conference. Not one. A president using DOJ to punish those who spoke out? That’s banana republic territory. I waited. The question never came. Why? Has the fear already taken hold?

They need to be sure to remind the public that he’s actually enjoying the golfing to the tune of $26m that WE are paying to his golf course. I’m pretty sure that’s double dipping and in violation of multiple laws. Yet nothing gets done about it.

The billionaires who supported Trump just to see the economy crash shouldn’t just have to feel personally betrayed about it. They should have to experience an actual decrease in their quality of life like ordinary people do through no fault of their own when this happens
