🧵1 Sen. Amy Klobuchar is right: Trump officials must be held in contempt for defying court orders to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia. She’s calling for a special prosecutor, outside Trump’s corrupt DOJ, to charge those responsible. No more stalling. No more impunity. No one is above the law.

30 years ago, I was in the hospital with my 2-day-old daughter. Nurses gathered in my room to watch the devastating OKC news unfold. Would times change? No. This year on her birthday, the family worried as another school shooting was unfolding at her stepbrother’s school, FSU. Learn. Vote. 2026. 🗳️

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

Peter Hegseth didn't wake up today thinking that it would be women who'd hand him his ass in front of millions of Americans watching. Tammy Duckworth is a role model for women everywhere.🔥

Los Angeles received just 0.16 inches of rain since May 2024, the second-driest period on record. Wildfires are now engulfing the city in January. But some politicians still claim the climate crisis is a "hoax" as they do the bidding of Big Oil. What planet are they living on?

Rep. Jennifer Wexton has been a tremendous champion of the Gabriella Miller Kids First Research Act 2.0. Thanks to her principled advocacy the children’s cancer research funding bill is on its way to the President. And the cruel indifference of Far Right extremists in Congress has been overcome.

If we come out the other side of this hostile, nightmare chapter with our ability to recognize wrong from right, false from true, and our commitment to decency, kindness, democracy, the rule of law and the Constitution intact—then we can begin to create a positive future again.

Truth be told, it does seem kind of silly to have the FBI do background checks on presidential appointees when the president is a convicted criminal and an adjudicated digital rapist.
