I imagine every single Republican in the House and the Senate is thinking, "It's Friday. The break is almost over. Will I show up to work Monday as a fighter for the Constitution, due process, and the rule of law -- or will I cower in a corner with my eyes down? What'll it be?"

I was at the rally in front of SCOTUS yesterday. Wonderful speeches by parents and students who thrive when they see themselves in books and are seen by classmates who read those books. And a great turnout by clergy who support reading and learning. #booksnotbans

30 years after arriving in the US, I just resigned from Northwestern and we sold our house. We are an American family, I became a citizen in 2014, and until recently did not expect to ever leave. But now, this no longer feels like the right place to raise a family and pursue a research career.

I find myself in an odd position where I’m totally confident in my reporting/sources, but other news orgs aren’t running with my stories. Can’t say for sure, but it’s hard not to feel like there’s some distrust of me as an independent journalist. My process is as thorough as top corporate reporters.

To put a finer point on it. Trump’s contention isn’t just that he can deport people without them appearing before a judge, but that he can render them into a life sentence in a foreign dungeon with no process whatsoever.

Please repeat over and over: “Bending to the whims of a bully will not end his cruelty. It will only embolden him. The response to authoritarianism isn’t acquiescence. Bullies respond to one thing, and one thing only: a punch in the face.” —Gov. JB Pritzker

Whew! Sen Chuck Grassley’s town hall should be a wake-up call for Trump & Republicans. Voters want Kilmar García brought home — and they’re pissed Trump’s thumbing his nose at a Supreme Court ruling. This isn’t “tough on crime,” it’s lawless, un-American trash — and folks know it. This is Iowa!

In defiance of the Supreme Court & without any evidence, the White House claims that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a “terrorist,” who was “sent to the right place.” This is a blatant LIE. He is innocent. He cannot be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. He must be brought home.

Wouldn't it be nice if every news outlet that covered the Bukele Oval Office meeting noted: District court wrote: Abrego Garcia "has never been charged with or convicted of any crime."⤵️ Fourth Circuit: The government presented "NO EVIDENCE" of MS-13 affiliation. Abandoned argument before court. ⤵️
