STAND and DEMAND the immediate return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

BRING HIM HOME!

Abrego Garcia is a SMART Local 100 first-year apprentice who was working full-time to support his young family — before he was brutally abducted and illegally deported to El Salvador.

SMART General President…

This is Betsy DeVos’s brother! This is outrageous!

Kinda hard to see a free and fair 2028 election where she doesn’t win by a lot.

Make it make sense

For fathers in search of friendship, a growing group has emerged: the Brooklyn Stroll Club. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/12/s...

I cannot overstate how despicable the Mahmoud Khalil case is

The Government concedes he hasn’t broken any laws

But they assert he can be deported for his past, current or even EXPECTED beliefs

All based on the sole determination of Marco Rubio

Who is apparently now the head of the Thought Police

My wife and I were talking about this the other day. She thought she would be fine if this passed but from what I'm reading here she would be required to re-register and would likely need docs she doesn't have at the moment.

I suspect this won't get past the Senate, but do we trust them?!

BREAKING: Trump reportedly wants a HUGE military parade thrown in his honor for his birthday this June in Washington D.C.

Estimates say it could cost over $90 MILLION DOLLARS.

Is this what you voted for?

Republicans are objectively a disaster for the economy

Amen!

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

Congratulations to Judge Susan Crawford on her victory, and to the people of Wisconsin for electing a judge who believes in the rule of law and protecting our freedoms.

Senator Cory Booker is going strong as he is 16 minutes away from a 24 hour filibuster!
Thank you!

Signalgate and the Trumpian Reflex to Lie Dishonesty and gaslighting undermine self-government.

One of the tired old truisms of post-Watergate Washington is “It’s not the crime, it’s the coverup.” Usually it’s both—but this coverup reflects the cult-like insistence on unreality as a sign of tribal loyalty.

John Avlon on Signalgate:

Innocent (In a Brutal Prison) Abroad The Trump administration’s latest stain on our values: sending a man without a conviction to a country where a judge ruled he couldn’t be sent.

"I’d go further than Abrego Garcia’s lawyer. If this reckless and lawless action by the administration is allowed to stand, it’s not just the immigration laws that are meaningless; it’s the rule of law that is meaningless."
