The shame and horror we should all feel at what the Trump administration has done to this family. Bring this man home to his kids.

What I don’t understand about the circular argument used by Trump about why they can’t get people back from El Salvador is this: in an early interview Bakele was asked how long people deported would be held there, and he replied as long as Trump pays for him to keep them. Let’s stop the payments.

Locking down your phone, being mindful of what you're wearing, and coming up with plans to communicate with others are all key steps to take before attending a protest.

Trump has no concept of the nation or of its security. This is not an insult to his intelligence. These are just not cognitive categories for him. He can’t care about national security because it’s not a thing in his world.

I’m amazed… well, sort of. The problem, as they see it, isn’t that they were doing something wrong. The problem is that they got caught and can’t obfuscate out of it.

Tim Walz nailed it!

Dear Democrats: hear the primal scream and DO SOMETHING!

And rest assured, we will have your back.

Hawaiian Volcano Observatory Evicted Amid Federal Cuts Observatory leaders have assured local emergency officials their public service will continue, but questions linger about how and where that work will happen.

β€œThe observatory’s previous headquarters, at the KΔ«lauea summit, was left structurally unsafe to use in 2018 amid earthquakes and the eruptions nearby. The new building in Hilo, officials said, won’t be ready until around 2028.”

The terrible CR Budget bill β€” written by right-wing House Republicans with no input from anybody but themselves β€” was passed tonight with the support of 10 Democrats.

An absolute failure of Democratic leadership. NOBODY in the Senate should have voted for this dangerous bill.

At a demonstration for human rights Saturday in Esther Short Park, Vancouver, WA, a little girl about 3 years old was carrying a sign that read "ITS TIME TO USE OUR OUTDOOR VOICE." Perfect!

Tonight I think of all the old men who spent a lifetime screaming to everyone about Russians infiltrating America only to end their lives as ardent defenders of Russia.

A lifetime that is ending with a giant "NEVERMIND!!"

Every elected Congressional Representative who does not speak against the behavior of Trump and Vance in their meeting today with Vladimir Zelensky owns what happens next. It is naive to think that they will not bring the same thuggish behavior to their dealings with the opposition in America.
