If we ever get our republic back, we will demand a full investigation to discover why so many wealthy and powerful people in government and business connived to destroy our country.

This GOP motherfucker can go for a vile photo op at CECOT but Dem @vanhollen.senate.gov can't even get a phone call with Garcia? GTFOH

THERE IS NO OTHER WAY TO PUT IT.

Science doesn’t improve by cutting Black, Hispanic, and women experts. But that’s exactly what happened—38 out of 43 removed from NIH boards were just that. And they wonder why trust in institutions is fading.

No excuse, Murkowski. Speak up and do your job by opposing the tyranny. That's what some other congresspeople have the guts to do.

I'm the 9-year-old who followed Clemente and the Pirates during the 1960 season. The fifth grade teacher wheeled a TV into our classroom on October 13 so we could watch the Pirates win the World Series against the New York Yankees. WooHoo!

I am advocating for due process for Abrego Garcia.

JUST IN: Deputy Assistant to the President and "Counterterrorism Czar" Sebastian Gorka says anyone advocating for due process for Kilmar Abrego Garcia could be viewed as "aiding and abetting a terrorist" and be federally charged. (h/t Philip Germain)

Disturbing really, that Congress can’t put aside partisan politics to address the security and integrity of the United States of America. Where is the party that ousted Nixon for far less?

On this date. We are headed back there. He wants to build camps for Americans and apparently Republicans are afraid of retaliation so they're saying nothing.

DOGE is a criminal conspiracy to defraud the people of the United States

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

This is in fact what we have done. Foolish, shortsighted, appalling.

He's nothing but a gamer. A 53-year-old with the temperament and emotional maturity of a 13-year-old.

The Trump administration keeps Losing in court because they want to do illegal stuff

The Executive Branch of the United States government is at war with the American people.

DOGE was never about savings. It was always about surveillance. Over the weekend, we released new details—and now whistleblowers are coming forward too. What’s becoming clearer by the day: DOGE isn’t a government efficiency program. It’s a data weapon aimed at the American people.

Congress folded like laundry for Trump. Bullies must be confronted, not appeased. If they are appeased, they will make more demands that they themselves will not abide by.

Damn right!

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

I support Van Hollen's endeavor to free Kilmar Garcia.

Time to start impeachment proceedings. If the Supreme Court doesn’t matter, we do not have a working democracy. If we cozy up to an El Salvadoran thug, what are we?

Again… Impeach. Convict. Remove.

Well played.

I would not have predicted that large universities would show more courage than either Big Law or corporate media. Good for them.
