WATCH: Sen. Van Hollen says he’s headed to El Salvador tomorrow morning to seek the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia—and to hopefully visit him in prison. "I promised his wife and his family that I would do everything I could 24/7 to try to bring him home. And that's why I am going to El Salvador."

I don't care how many junior staffs Hegseth or others throw under the bus. Hegseth HIMSELF was on the Signal group chat. He used his fingers to enter the sensitive military info into the chat. He bears 100% full responsibility for that -- no matter how many scapegoats he finds.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia lived in Maryland with his wife and their three children, and has never been charged with any crime. The Department of Homeland Security issued him a work permit, and he joined a union, working full time as a sheet metal apprentice.

Today we remember the man who STILL is Jackie Robinson. He may have passed away a mere 42 years ago but 04/15 will always be synonymous with him breaking down color barriers & giving birth to unmistakable growth in the MLB. In closing, Jackie Robinson was more than a baseball player. PERIOD!

Jonathan Swan, of the NYT, asks Ms Leavitt (all paraphrased) "The President said that it was a terrible abuse of power for the prior Admin to prosecute him. How is it not then an abuse of power when he directed his own DOJ to investigate two people he doesn't like?" Leavitt: "That's his policy."

A reminder that Donold feeds off of fear. He wants everyone to be afraid at all times. He wants you to stop discussing Kilmar Abrego Garcia. He wants you to stop discussing SignalGate. So he sows fear and panic.

Sanders: A woman is walking down the street, a car stops, and these guys — in plain clothes and masks — grab her, throw her into the car, and take off. That happened in Vermont today. That’s the kind of thing that happens in dictatorships, not in a democracy.

It is legally impossible to deport citizens. This is not deportation. Removing citizens to foreign prisons, knowing to a certainty that they will be subjected to treatment that violates the U.S. constitution, doesn’t deserve any label that connotes legal legitimacy.
