BREAKING: Senator Chris Van Hollen just confirmed: Trump is colluding with El Salvador to violate a U.S. Supreme Court order. Worse? They're using American taxpayer money to torture a man with zero evidence of any crime. Republicans? Dead silent. This isn’t just illegal — It’s evil.

The numbers are in after yesterday’s tax deadline. Minnesota’s new Child Tax Credit delivered an average $2,400 back to working class families, benefiting nearly 400,000 kids. Regardless of Washington chaos, we’re still making Minnesota the best state for kids to grow up.

Scholars say the orange felon’s plan to have US citizens imprisoned in foreign countries raises constitutional concerns. His threat means he plans on taking a shit on the constitution yet again. The time for concern was when VP Kamala Harris was running, we are in a crisis.

Judge Boasberg’s opinion in JGG v. Trump (4/16/25) is a masterpiece of judicial reasoning.

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia. I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.

If you had a buck for every time the HHS Secretary says “I don’t know,” you’d never have to work again. When asked if RFK Jr. personally approved over $11B in cuts that could gut infectious disease and mental health programs, he says he’s not familiar — then blames the cuts on DEI. 🤦🏽‍♂️

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period
