Appreciate Sen Chris Van Hollen for his efforts to bring back Kilmar Garcia from a torturous prison in El Salvador.
This moment requires more—Maybe I missed it? Did Minority Leader Chuck Schumer make any such statement or rally other Senators to do the same?

You know who else we’re thinking about? People who have had their visas suddenly revoked, or who have been surreptitiously marched into a Salvadoran prison, without a shred of due process.

The Constitutional crisis all Americans fear is here. A battle between the executive and judicial branches is underway.
The Trump regime defiantly refused to meet another court-issued deadline in the case of Kilmar Abrego García.

Adolf Hitler's “Mein Kampf” is still on U.S. Naval Academy shelves. “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” and “Memorializing the Holocaust” are not.
An order by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s office led to a purge of books that are critical of racism — but preserved volumes defending white power.

One of the striking things about the Abrego Garcia case is that would be trivially easy for the government to demand his return and give apologists an easy talking point: "Yes, sure, mistakes happen but see, they care about getting it right & doing it legally after all." But nope.

Scoop: Fox News has been all in on Trump’s trade tariffs, hailing them as bold, America-first measures to resurrect domestic manufacturing.
But as it turns out, the network is itself manufacturing its merchandise abroad.

It has been 18 days since we learned that those involved in Signalgate recklessly endangered the lives of American pilots.
The fact that there has been no Congressional investigation is an abomination.
This should outrage every single Member of Congress.
