Another day, another bar lowered by the Trump administration. This time, U.S. citizen children deported thanks to the admin's rush to carry out their mass deportation agenda. This has to end. They have no authority to deport U.S. citizens.

Good morning to everyone but the Trump crime family

I have the honor of joining a few of my Senate colleagues in attending the late Pope Francis’ funeral at the Vatican City. We must hold on to the message of Pope Francis of love, peace, understanding, and respect for one another—it’s needed now more than ever.

I once flew the spine of Alaska at 1,500 feet. The silence, the mountains, the weight of service — it all reminded me why I still fight for this country. And why you should too. My latest Substack: Above the Spine adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/above-the-...

Donald Trump is a danger to our planet and our health.

“I’ve never missed a court appearance. I’ve never missed an appointment with immigration or ICE,” Daboin Rall said. “The truth is: I don’t have any criminal record. I’ve done everything correctly according to the rules of this country.” www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...

Serious question. Kristi Noem was pictured with a Rolex in El Salvador, and got 3k in cash stolen. She has been on a govt salary for years. Something aint right

My prayers are with the Florida State University community as police respond to another school shooting. Students should be celebrating the end of the school year approaching… not evacuating campus to process the aftermath of gun violence.

"she has never visited the United States..." www.bostonglobe.com/2025/04/17/m...

Precisely. This admission brings people together—not over politics, but over our shared humanity. If you’re scared, you know what’s happening. If you admit it, you’re taking sides. And empowering people in the process.

We now know that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is alive. Senator Van Hollen was finally allowed to meet with him. Thanks to the senator for his fierce determination. We need to bring Mr. Abrego Garcia back to the U.S., along with all the other men who were abducted & locked in a foreign torture prison.

The ICE deportation raids are a test of Americans’ tolerance for having government “disappear” people…The fact that any of us can think this is acceptable shows the extraordinary power of totalitarian propaganda.

When a President transgresses the laws and principles of our Constitution, it’s not a “derangement syndrome” to have a problem with that. It’s a derangement syndrome not to.

More people are waking up. Always always speak up and push back. The US is grounded on we the people. NOT the people scorning us. We matter. We are the nation.

"After nearly five hours, he and his wife were released. They are now pursuing legal action. "It's not about the immigrants," his sister, told NBC10 Boston. "It's coming to us Americans, and it's going to go after all of us." www.nbcboston.com/news/politic...
