1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

Sanders: He now wants to take away CBS’s license because they did a story that criticized him. Oh my word, CBS criticized him! Oh, let’s drive them out of business, how terrible… If you can’t take criticism, get out of the political process. This is a democracy

This is EXACTLY how an opposition party fights back! THANK YOU, @vanhollen.senate.gov! Thank you for keeping this gross violation of due process and civil rights in the news! I can't tell you how much it means to see you fight like this. I'm so grateful for my Senators.

Democratic Party leaders. We need you to get on TV & social media to detail exactly what you’re doing to get Garcia back from El Salvador. You need to tell the truth about where we are in the authoritarian takeover of the U.S. Stop asking for donations until you show us you’re real leaders.

This is the kind of ad Democrats need to drop like a sledgehammer. Don't just say Republicans are corrupt—show it. Loud. Relentless. Unapologetic. Shove their greed right in voters’ faces. #MAGABlowingYourTaxes

Again, if the idea is that when someone in custody leaves the nation’s airspace there’s no way for a court to compel the state to return them—or exert any jurisdiction at all—then you’re simply saying whoever’s in power can fly people 100 miles offshore and push them out of helicopters into the sea.

Boomers were shafted by Republicans during the Vietnam war; so many young men were killed needlessly — and now as seniors the Republicans are trying to shaft our Social Security. We fought them then and got rid of conscription, and we’ll fight them now.

If Democratic congressional leadership don’t lead an en masse halt to all legislative business after today, I don’t know why they’re worth supporting. What moment could more demand a response of intractable and tedious opposition? Shut it all down, and refuse to budge.

100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion in the 2024 election. 70% of these donations went to Republicans. Now, Republicans in Congress are gearing up to slash essential programs to pay for another round of tax cuts for the rich. This is what oligarchy looks like.

If I had to reregister to vote, post SAVE Act, I'd need: a $25 copy of my birth certificate, a $5 copy of my name change, a $3 copy of my marriage license, and an $89 drivers license. OR a $165 passport. Not only is it a poll tax, it's also a pink tax.

🚨House Republicans just passed a bill that would disenfranchise 70 million married American women. Under the SAVE Act, women who took their spouse’s last name and don't have an updated passport or birth certificate would be turned away at the polls.

Having lived in El Salvador and having had been married to a Salvadoran for 20 years, I know the Government of El Salvador would return Abrego Garcia if Trump demanded it. Trump won't because either 1) he's been exterminated or 2) his return would bring a witness to atrocities back to the USA.
