I’m done with Dems recruiting veterans to run for office. No slight on your service but it does not qualify you to be a member of Congress. In fact I want less veterans making choices for us. This glorification of military service helped create this problem. You all need to take a step back

per Van Hollen, El Salvador wouldn't let him into CECOT, which seems notable given that multiple House Republicans have photos of themselves inside grinning and giving a thumbs-up Abu Ghraib-style

Notably, in his media availability in El Salvador, @vanhollen.senate.gov truthfully keeps saying that Abrego Garcia was "illegally abducted" and "disappeared" instead of the more antiseptic, and factually incorrect, "deported."

I'm not "inspired" by women with more money than they know what to do with taking an expensive joyride as ordinary Americans go without when women who actually flew aircraft are being erased from history by the Pentagon and women astrophysicists are being besmirches as "DEI hires" and fired.

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

“It’s amazing that others in this room underwrote electing a man who, in the last week, single-handedly destroyed all of American science. It’s amazing how much good science you can destroy with $320 million and RFK Jr, very fast.” — Seth Rogen’s censored remarks presenting the Breakthrough Prize

We've seen videos like this before, but usually when you see a tearful wife pleading with the kidnappers who have taken her husband, she's not talking to the U.S. president

To the people who mocked us when we compared Trump to Hitler with “Everybody I don’t like is Hitler” memes, I’d like to say, from the bottom of my heart, go fuck yourselves.

News: AOC had her strongest ever quarter, raising over $9.5m from 266k individual donors for an average of just $21. AOC doesn’t take a dollar from lobbyists or corporate PACS. Our top donor professions are teachers and nurses. 64% were first time contributors.

NEW from @MiamiHerald: as the Trump admin continues to cite tattoos as evidence of gang membership, experts on the Tren de Aragua gang again confirm that it does NOT use tattoos as a means of identification. The idea seems to have been invented by Americans.

Democratic governors, mayors and city councils need to coordinate with their National Guard and local law enforcement leaders NOW. Make sure you have people you trust in place NOW. Fascists are going to strip your power or arrest you if you're not prepared to resist.

Can’t get over this. You following orders that clearly violates the constitution and basic human rights certainly makes you a monster. I think these people are so broken that they don’t see it. They aren’t lying they are incapable of realizing how awful they’ve become.

The next step for Trump is to send a US citizen convicted of something like child murder and rape to CECOT in El Salvador. It'll set the precedent to send citizens there while neutralizing outrage over it because of the heinous nature of their crimes. Then it'll any felony and then protestors.
