The amazing thing here is that there's a still a fragment of reality-based element hanging on inside the Trump administration.

More broadly, you can’t expect “every human being on the planet must endure endless assaults on their dignity except for used car dealers, and methheads, who are a protected class” to be something the majority of people on Earth to ever accept.

Van Holen should receive an enormous amount of credit for this, because we need to summon an elemental force more powerful than anything Trump wields: the ego of US senators.

The fact that BUILDING SHIPS IN COWBOYVILLE AND SHIPPING THEM IN PIECES ACROSS A BIGASS MOUNTAIN RANGE merits no more than a causal mention in an history specifically on industrial mobilization in the US is wild to me

Remember when Jared Polis immediately nuked ALL of his good will amongst Democrats for doing "you gotta hand it to him" about RFK Jr.?

Sen. Van Hollen deserves a ton of praise. The rest of the Democratic party needs to look at what he's doing, stiffen their spines and fight. We can beat these fascists, but we can't "bipartisanship" our way out. We must fight.

Dear senators who think you can’t do anything, Today, Senator Van Hollen - through diplomatic pressure - got a meeting with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. So that thing you’re thinking about doing? DO IT. ~ All of Us

Relief. Abrego Garcia is alive.

The fact that this wasn’t rejected wholesale, should scare the hell out of everyone. The Supreme Court and the Republicans are gearing up to rewrite the literal essence of America to suit their fascist whims.

WOW. One of the Venezuelans whom Kristi Noem tried to render to El Salvador's slave prison managed to avoid removal and was able to make it to immigration court, and you'll never guess what happened: THE GOVERNMENT GAVE NO EVIDENCE OF HIS GANG MEMBERSHIP. Due process ftw

i imagined passing away at a nice ripe old age in cambria with my wife by my side, but i have to admit, dying at 47 due to bad meat because the executive branch thought the USDA was kinda homo with it would be flat out hilarious.

I think that’s what’s so scary. This is part of how Fascism and Totalitarianism rationalizes its violence. Once they find the control room then the bad people will go away and they can start to build. But the control room doesn’t exist. So they’ll raze everything to the ground.

for the record, i now think it is cope to think that powell is what will break/make Trump. I think trump can kick out powell and he will still not suffer the comeuppance we all desperately desire to see. at this point, we're entirely in millenarian territory the way we're grasping for straws.

If your response to an all hands on deck situation like we’re seeing right now with Trump is to scream at some of the hands that actually the state of the deck is their fault and they can fuck off, you’re delusional, I’m sorry.

it's also in direct tension with the fact that for this to work, it needs to be very public, very graphic, and in the news a lot, and while the median voter is vaguely anti-immigration, they also don't want to see it on the news and don't want it to make them feel sad.

The answer is that they don’t think it matters if they’re confident that by 2028 they can just deport aoc to el salvador for the crime of “doing too well in the polls”

Senator Van Hollen: My goal is to keep a spotlight on this until the 9-0 Supreme Court order is implemented. I asked the embassy whether they've been ordered by the Trump administration to do anything to facilitate his return. The answer was no

Guess my call that Republicans wouldnt be able to fully exploit this attack as a justification for their authoritarian crackdown bc they are psychologically incapable of acknowledging the humanity of Democrats turned out to be not too far off base.

We have an amazing checks and balances system created by genius Founders where the President can do anything they want and there's really no practical way to stop them.
