I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you. The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

HE IS PROMISING TO SEND AMERICANS TO FOREIGN DEATH CAMPS. This is it. This is where America ends.

They continue to violate a court order to retrieve someone they illegally deported. We’re now well beyond a constitutional crisis. If they’re allowed to do this, their secret police can sweep up anyone, for any reason, deport them & refuse to bring them back. That would be the end of democracy.

An innocent man, picked up by “mistake,” must not be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. Mr. President. Obey the courts. Obey our Constitution. Bring him home immediately.

He’s pulled the knife half way out of the economy’s back, but the injury (no longer a reliable trading partner) will take years to heal. #stupid

That somehow when you trade with someone, someone is taking advantage of you... I have a trade deficit with my grocery store"

All I’m saying is that President Harris wouldn’t have us looking at the futures market on a Sunday night.

Pls don’t repost this or Trump will expode his depends!!

The admin officials talking about using tariffs to return manufacturing to the US a.) do not know anything about trade, b.) do not understand how tariffs work, c.) do not understand how global supply chains work, d.) do not understand what a modest percentage of overall output, trade or jobs...

Please share!!! This is getting ridiculous—they just can’t accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last year’s closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted.

Tell me again why we’re letting a 78 year old, legit smelly, odorous, frail, loser old man who bankrupted a CASINO bankrupt the country? Congress? Any answers?

If your plans for this weekend involve being outdoors voicing your displeasure with *gestures* the entire situation, just sayin', my colleagues have a guide that you should read. www.theverge.com/21276979/pho...

james surowiecki has discovered where the completely fabricated trump tariff rate has come from for each country "...for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us."

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

I appreciate that Jeffrey Goldberg did not sit on this news for a book that he writes two years from now

I checked all my group chats first thing this morning. I'm proud to say there were no journalists in any of them.

The founder of Signal releases a response to SignalGate: “There are so many great reasons to be on Signal. Now including the opportunity for the vice president of the United States of America to randomly add you to a group chat for coordination of sensitive military operations.”

A US-born citizen was walking near Chicago in January. ICE snatched him off the street, handcuffed him, threw into a van. His wallet, which contained his ID, was confiscated. He was detained for 10 hours before being released without a record of what occurred. immigrantjustice.org/sites/defaul...

I don’t have to agree with the Gaza protestors to defend their right to protest. And I don’t have to want Venezuelan gang members to be here on our soil, to defend their right to due process. Either we are a nation of laws or we are not. And if we are not, then all is lost.

Hey Mike Waltz a Russia speaker does not make someone Russian, speaking English in America does not make us English This is first grade stuff

Budapest today. People are demanding that PM Orban resign.

The nation's cybersecurity agency has officially cut funding to support states and local officials on election security.

Bernie Sanders: "I think this is a prelude not only to cutting benefits, but to privatizing Social Security ... why do you lie so much about Social Security? Why do you make it look like it's a broken system? The reason is to get people to lose faith in the system so you can give it over to Wall St"
