Once again, a judge sees right through the Trump Admin’s attempt to deny Kilmar Abrego Garcia his due process rights.

Make no mistake: This ruling is a win for all of our rights.

“it’s always a choice when journalists decide to clean up quotes – or not. It’s always revealing which politicians have “uh” or “um” removed...For instance, how often does the mainstream media let Donald Trump’s words speak for themselves?"

First Draft: AOC Under (Unfair?) Attack

When we talk about authoritarianism, it’s not just Donald Trump.

Musk owns X

Zuckerberg owns Instagram and Facebook
Larry Ellison controls TikTok

Billionaires increasingly control what we see, hear and read.

Donald Trump is suing the federal government for $10 billion. That is your money. Never in our history have we seen something like this. The billionaire President always has a new plan to make himself richer, but never a plan to make your bills more affordable.

Today, Secretary Rubio told us that Trump didn't tip off his buddies in the oil & gas industry about his invasion of Venezuela.

Trouble is, Trump literally admitted on camera to doing just that.

What else are they hiding about this corrupt, illegal operation?

Trump's ICE just killed 2 Americans in 2 weeks. Americans are demanding action.

How did Senate Republicans respond?

By threatening a partial govt shutdown if we don't give ICE another blank check.

They'd rather hold govt hostage than ensure accountability for these killings.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.

We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

The officer who shot Alex worked for DHS for 8 years. The officer who shot Renee worked for DHS for over 10 years. Both are considered “highly trained.”

The problem isn’t "training." DHS was built to violate our rights and has been empowered to act with impunity. We must MELT ICE and dismantle DHS.

They think the American people are stupid.

It's been 2 days since the killing of Alex Pretti & this Admin continues to lie about what we all saw on video.

Americans are horrified & don't want their tax dollars funding this brutality.

Not another dime to this lawless operation.

The killings of Renee Good & Alex Pretti show Trump's DHS culture is rotten to its core.

Trump, Vance, Noem, & Miller have made these agents feel immune from the consequences of their actions.

That must change. Everyone involved in these operations must be held accountable.

Don’t let this White House lie to you. Believe what you see.

Alex Pretti was trying to help a woman off the ground. Then immigration agents tackled, shot, and killed him.

It’s time for them to get the hell out of MN.

I can't put into words the feeling of watching our government, a hive of evil antisocial filth, the absolute worst humanity has to offer, colliding with the best. Ordinary people trying to help each other, risking everything to stand up for what's plainly, unambiguously fair and right. It's unreal

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

This is authoritarianism, plain and simple.

The Trump administration is targeting states that didn’t vote for him — including my home state of Vermont.

Using federal power to punish political opponents is anti-democratic and blatantly illegal.

Our billionaire Treasury Secretary called Denmark “irrelevant.” Hmm.

Unlike the US, in Denmark, health care & college are free, the starting wage is $22 an hour, paid parental leave is 1 year, paid vacation is 6 weeks & all workers get pensions.

That seems very relevant to me.

The budget deal in Congress will give ICE another $10 BILLION.

Absolutely not.

ICE is out of control. We must stop this rogue agency’s dangerous abuses of power, not bankroll it.

16 years ago today, SCOTUS sided with big corporations over the American people in their infamous Citizens United ruling.

That decision paved the way for unchecked & secret money in our politics & helped billionaires & special interests buy more elections.

We must reverse it.

The idea that a U.S. president would threaten to invade Greenland because Norway didn’t give him a Nobel Prize is pathetic.

This has nothing to do with foreign policy. It’s a president acting like a narcissistic spoiled child because his feelings got hurt. Unacceptable.

I've said repeatedly that I will not support one dime of funding for Trump's lawless ICE operations.

The funding bill released today fails to sufficiently rein them in or ensure people's rights are protected.

I'm voting NO.

Over the last year, President Trump pardoned dozens of criminals.

Combined, they were ordered to pay hundreds of millions of dollars in fines and restitution.

Trump let them off the hook.

Nothing says cracking down on crime like letting criminals run free.

This is pure, unabashed bigotry.

If a politician said this about any other faith, they would rightfully be run out of their party.

But this kind of despicable anti-Muslim rhetoric is so normalized that a sitting Senator uses it without consequence.

A stain on our Congress.
