I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

I feel like we need to stop saying "deported to El Salvador" about anyone who isn't a Salvadoran at liberty in that country. We are talking about people "enslaved in El Salvador."

Reminder: We are not at war with Venezuela. The people deported are not enemies. The law in question should not apply. Among the most dangerous aspects of the SCOTUS ruling is the idea that the president and his people have the right to arbitrarily determine who our enemies are.

I don't really think members of the serious press are prepared to cover stories of great import whether about economics, politics, or international affairs in which a major factor driving events is sheer stupidity. It just doesn't seem to have enough gravitas for them. So they pretend something...

It is, but today he’s not really talking about a third term. He’s crying and begging us to talk about something besides #Signalgate. Don’t let him distract you from his national security catastrophe.

In 2019, Pfizer reported ZERO taxable profits in the USβ€”despite selling $20 BILLION worth of drugs to American patients.

By reporting their profits offshore, they dodged billions in taxes and paid a 5.4% tax rate.

Don't tell me our tax code isn't rigged for giant corporations.

Horrifying. Disappearing and targeting students with legal status over peaceful political speech is unconstitutional and a clear violation of due process and free speech.

Another blatant act of authoritarianism by the Trump Administration.

Rumeysa must be released.

The President has a duty to take seriously the safety and lives of every American military member.

He must remove Pete Hegseth from his position as Secretary of Defense and Mike Waltz from his position as National Security Adviser.

Their security clearances must be permanently revoked.

It is abundantly clear that the Secretary of Defense and the National Security Adviser put the lives of American pilots in grave danger. In doing so, they have failed in their mandate to protect the lives of our American military members and our national security interests. 🧡
