Note to Sen. Chris Van Hollen -- @vanhollen.senate.gov Safe travels to and in El Salvador. And when you're there, don't speak merely for the Democratic Party or for your state of Maryland. Speak for America.

From Vance's tweets to Miller's and Homan's TV hits, don't we see a touch of desperation? Immigration is supposedly their go-to issue. But their policies are cruel and self-destructive, and they're losing control of the issue politically. Panic's in the air at the White House.

Biden: One called it a Ponzi scheme. A Ponzi scheme? What the hell are they talking about? People earned these benefits. They paid into that benefit. They rely on that benefit.

Get yourself a senator willing to rescue you in a foreign country after your messy president wrongfully deports you… …seems like a sentence I shouldn’t have to write in 2025 but here we are. Senator Chris Van Hollen leaves for El Salvador tomorrow to initiate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

Oh dear you’re going to want to read this. Looks like DOGErs were caught exfiltrating NLRB data, likely on unions, for private (seemingly Elony) use. This is must read. What we’ve all suspected. But now details. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

Trump and Republicans are wrecking the Social Security system so they can rob it. It's corruption and greed.

I hate to say this, and it gives me the chills just to think it, but CECOT is on (and not a short way down) the road to Auschwitz.

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

The four law firms that it was announced are now Trump collaborators -- Kirkland & Ellis, Latham & Watkins, Simpson Thacher, and A&O Shearman Sterling -- ALSO agreed today to "Disavow DEI" as part of a settlement with EEOC. Why would any new associate join such a place? Why would any partner stay?

Not for nothing, but how, exactly, is it legal to send people for *punishment* in a foreign prison (esp with no due process)? Were the funds being used for it appropriated for this purpose? I feel this has just become a thing no one questions

The dollar crashing is great news for all of us Brits who've found the US unaffordable since Brexit, except when we try to visit we're going to be turned away at the border because we liked a tweet saying slavery was bad

I refuse to give Trump any credit for alleged 4D chess moves. He is an idiot. He's been bankrupted 6 times. He doesn't understand how tariffs work. The world didn't concede or bend the knee. They started dumping US bonds. He folded & rich got richer buying the dip and following shock doctrine.

If you don’t think that at some point he’s going to show more interest in the 5,044 nuclear weapons he controls, you’re as deluded as the people who thought he’d never tank the stock market and the economy.

It’s weird* that the president can just decide to put a huge tax on American businesses without congress even being a little bit involved. * very unconstitutional

MSNBC just showed a montage of world leaders calling the USA idiotic, illogical, hostile, unhinged.... literally never seen anything like this. From the shining city on a hill to an object of global derision and contempt.

This is an important message for anyone running or planning to run against a GOP incumbent who can't figure it out themselves. President have no power of tariffs. Trump is only able to do this because Congress gave the President the power. Congress cld take that power back at ...

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A “TRADE DEFICIT”—IT’S JUST CALLED “BUYING THINGS.” YOU DO NOT HAVE A TRADE DEFICIT WITH YOUR DENTIST JUST BECAUSE HE NEVER BUYS ANYTHING FROM YOU.
