New reporting shows HUGE WASTE in spending at Guantanamo Bay. $40 million tab… $3 million on empty tents. Wasteful, inhumane political theater.

Van Hollen: "I applaud Harvard's decision not to give in to bullying from the Trump administration. Trump believes in 1st Amendment rights for himself, but apparently for nobody else ... the whole purpose of 1A is you don't have the government dictating speech as the administration is trying to do."

DOGE keeps cutting agencies and funding and personnel, but no one I know has saved a dime on taxes. It’s almost like they are stripping the public good of resources to send that money to the oligarchs in tax cuts…

Either the U.S. government is able to exert monetary and diplomatic pressure on El Salvador sufficient to produce Abrego Garcia’s release, or it isn’t. The latter would be either a bald-faced lie or a pretty stunning concession of our national impotence. The Vice President should pick one.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

Today, the government detained another student for their speech. Mohsen Mahdawi's attorneys have already filed a petition for his release and a Vermont judge ordered he not be moved out of state. As his fight continues, let us be clear: Dissent is not grounds for deportation.

This is terrifying in America. ICE agents are showing up masked—these abductions must stop. If you’re going to detain someone, show your face, present a warrant, and proper ID. Disappearing people from their families without evidence or accountability isn’t law enforcement—it’s state-sponsored fear.

Someone tried to burn down the Pennsylvania governor’s residence this weekend while his family was inside. There’s no excuse — ever — for political violence. We condemn it unequivocally. And more leaders across the board need to say the same.

Detaining and attempting to deport someone for writing an op-ed the government disagrees with is a blatant violation of the First Amendment. We’re in court today in Vermont to demand that ICE immediately releases Tufts student Rümeysa Öztürk.

Trump’s DOJ is arguing that they have the unfettered right to disappear people based on an administrative error, with no obligation to try and make that person’s return happen. A horror movie. And only the SCOTUS can stop it. Will they? I don’t think so. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...
