I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

—Occupy the national Mall indefinitely.
—A shadow cabinet and president talking to the public regularly.
—State government actions to protect state residents.

W all due respect - THIS is where Dems falter on messaging.
The problem is NOT that RFKJr said "damaged." The PROBLEM is that his POLICIES WILL KILL MILLIONS OF AMERICANS.
Let's stop pushing verbal sensitivity. It just turns Americans off. Focus on the ISSUE.

RFK Jr. at the "Make Indiana Healthy Again" talking about autism:
"This whole generation of kids is damaged."
This is what he thinks of kids with autism? That they're "damaged?"
Reprehensible.

Elon Musk might be too conservative with his Chainsaw. If he instead fired ALL Federal workers — 100% of Government — (including the President, of course) he would render 3-million Americans unemployed but, looking on the bright side, he would save 4.3% of the Federal budget !

Under the Trump budget plan just passed by Congress, a staggering 70% of House Republicans would personally financially benefit from extending major tax loopholes.
More money for them, paid for by cuts to YOUR benefits.

Consider: the richest 10% of Americans hold nearly 70% of the nation’s wealth – while the bottom 50% hold just 3%.
