Van Hollen on Fox News Sunday: "I'm not vouching for the man. I'm vouching for the man's rights. His constitutional rights to due process."

@maddow.msnbc.com My dad is 98, WWII USNavy Veteran. Showed up for democracy in San Diego today. "I fought for it once, I'll fight for it again!" 💙🇺🇸💙 THIS is what democracy looks like!!!!

Difference?

HUNDREDS of protests and MILLIONS of protesters in big cities and small towns all across America today. From Washington D.C. to St. Paul, Minnesota. New York City to Chicago. Hartford, Connecticut to Phoenix, Arizona — and absolutely everywhere in between. The “50501” movement is…

This is Packwood, Wa - a predominantly red rural town, in the shadow of Mount Rainier, without even a stoplight. With a population of 319, 27 people protested for 2 hours along the highway that runs through our town. We plan to continue. @maddow.msnbc.com @hcrichardson.bsky.social

Chris Van Hollen has done an excellent job advocating for Kilmar Abrego Garcia, but also speaking about this whole issue in a way that's clear, focused, and easy to understand.

Who could have predicted that... <checks notes> a weekend Fox and Friends host with a substance abuse problem who mismanaged two small nonprofits could not successfully manage an agency with more than 3 million employees?
