Sen. Chris Van Hollen said he spoke with the American embassy in El Salvador today and they said that they’d never been told to in any way facilitate the court ordered return of Mr Abrego. That sure sounds like evidence of criminal contempt to me.

Dem Sen. Chris Van Hollen: El Salvador Government Just Refused To Let Me Visit Wrongly Deported Man "...nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws..."

Glad House Dems are demanding a full briefing—because immigration agents showed up at L.A. elementary schools, and DHS lied about it. Watch the video. Hear the truth from L.A.’s superintendent. Then ask why the hell Homeland Security is targeting kids. Don’t let this go!!!

Intuit charges big bucks just for ordinary people to pay their taxes. At the same time, they are doing everything they can to sabotage Direct File, the IRS’ free, easy, and popular tax filing tool. It’s a scam, and I'm not letting them get away with it.

Grabbed at his appointment to become a citizen. Is this who we are? 😕🇺🇸

Booker: "This isn't just about Mr. Garcia. This is about every American understanding that this president is making an assault on the due process rights that are afforded to people in our country ... you cannot disappear people off American streets."

Pathetic.

Chasten and I are relieved that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe. While we wait to learn more, this much is clear: the targeting of a public official and his family - especially a prominent Jewish official on a major Jewish holiday - is unconscionable and has no place in our country.

Has this happened to you or anyone you know? Please let the folks at @sydmorningherald.bsky.social know here: [email protected] (PS anyone thinking about travelling to the US should read this and spend their money elsewhere)

IDK how we can see it any other way.

Bernie Sanders at Coachella. I really hope we can keep this momentum going and that it’s enough to vote out the MAGA evil that has taken over.

“BRING HIM HOME” 🔥

The Trump people claim to be fighting antisemitism, and the media often accept that framing. I believe, on the contrary, that these actions are antisemitic in intention and in execution. I explain in a short video: snyder.substack.com/p/fomenting-...

Step aside Schumer. Senator Chris Murphy @chrismurphyct.bsky.social is way more prepared to meet this moment and lead the dems. youtu.be/7aDbEmHo9Fo

Keep talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not.

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act. Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes? Staffer: a DL and birth certificate. Me: The documents don’t match Staffer: Then a marriage certificate. Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too? Staffer: No Me: See the problem?

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.

when they go low, we go Jasmine Crockett @repjasmine.bsky.social 🔥

Crockett: Like the fact that they sat around called Joe Biden sleepy Joe Biden. And as I said before, at least you could sleep at night because you didn't have to worry about your 401 K disappearing.

ICE: "We must punish immigrants for NOT paying taxes!" IRS: "But they do pay taxes." ICE: "Well, then help us punish them for PAYING taxes!"

Members of Congress should never be allowed to trade stocks. Period.

That’s because there weren’t any.

"What the U.S. is doing now is not reform. It is rejecting the very system it created." - Singapore's Prime Minister Lawrence Wong (April 8, 2025)

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

In theory this nightmare could end today:

They’re going to keep pushing until something stops them.

Canada's own Neil Young. Keep on rocking in the free world Neil. #handsoff #elbowsup

I can’t disagree with this guy, but at this point, I’m like, “Hey whatever the fuck it takes!” #Ftrump #KRASNOV #Fmaga

A shout out to the millions who marched in the United States for democracy and against fascism. Taking back the country is going to be a long and hard struggle but it has begun. From Canada we say: #elbowsup

Latest counts coming in from yesterday’s marches have over 5 million marching in protest. No violence. No beating of cops. No breaking into Congress. No shitting on floor. No ripping down American flags. Just peaceful, patriotic citizens standing up for democracy and marching for freedom.

Rep. Katherine Clark: Oh, it is such a beautiful sight to see over 100,000 patriots! I am the whip in the House, I count the votes and make sure that we stay unified, and I want to tell you: you are putting on one hell of a whip operation here! #HandsOff @whipkclark.bsky.social

Massive #HandsOff rallies across the country 🔥🔥🔥

Riggs is the Democratic incumbent in the race for a state Supreme Court seat. After she narrowly won the race, her Republican opponent, Judge Jefferson Griffin, challenged tens of thousands of votes. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/all...
