I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you.
The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

Hi folks: Facebook appears to be taking down my posts. Please remember they are available for free here (no paywall), and can be received by email (also free-- just don't put in your credit card information). I guess if I'm being banned I'm doing something right?
The government ignored his protective legal status & deported Abrego Garcia. “Now they claim that the court is powerless to order any relief. If that’s true, the immigration laws are meaningless because the government can deport ANYONE & no court can do anything about it once it’s done.”

They claim they can snatch people up, put them on planes, and deport them to a country run by an authoritarian, where those people will be forced to work slave labor at an inhumane prison. All without due process, and in defiance of federal courts.
The hypotheticals are over. This is the nightmare.

Let’s be clear: the ‘SAVE Act’ isn’t about election security—it’s about voter suppression. Mike Lawler is a proud co-sponsor of a bill that will strip millions of married women of their ability to vote. We can’t — and I won't — let this stand. #VotingRightsAreWorthyFights
A Republican-backed bill would upend voter registration. Here are 8 things to know

Defending freedom is a basic tenet of what makes America great and keeps us safe. If Elon doesn't understand that, maybe he should leave it to those of us who do.

I’m so proud to endorse @bethdavidson.bsky.social for Congress in New York’s 17th District. We must take back the House in 2026 and Beth is best positioned to do it. She has a proven track record of bipartisanship, lowering taxes, improving public safety, and standing up for Hudson Valley residents.
