2 Oddly, however, he did so by pointing to how quickly. the court took up and decided the TikTok case — a decision that the Trump administration is essentially ignoring.

I truly don’t know why Chief Justice of the United States John G. Roberts Jr. chose to highlight the TikTok case as proof the court can get things done quickly. Because.

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.

I won’t share RFK Jr.’s lies about autism.

It’s disgusting and dangerous.

If he had a shred of decency, he would apologize and resign.

Autistic people contribute every day to our nation’s greatness.

To every kid with autism, I’m in this fight all the way for you.

Has anyone yet compared Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Mark Watney from The Martian? In that story, people around the world worked together to bring Mark Watney home.
Let’s bring Kilmar home.

Did you have any evidence against these
ten? YOU are the criminal, ignoring due process.

Marco Rubio As Jews around the world gather to mark Passover and celebrate God's deliverance of the Jewish people from slavery in Egypt, Jeanette and I are thinking of the 59 hostages who remain held hostage by Hamas. Chag Sameach.

You know who else we’re thinking about? People who have had their visas suddenly revoked, or who have been surreptitiously marched into a Salvadoran prison, without a shred of due process.

No evidence linking Tufts student to antisemitism or terrorism, State Dept. office found An internal memo, prepared before Tufts student Rumeysa Ozturk was detained by ICE, raises doubts about the Trump administration’s claims that she supports Hamas.

BREAKING: Days before she was detained by ICE, the State Department had determined Tufts student Rumeysa Ozturk did NOT engage in antisemitic or terrorist activities. Rubio revoked her visa anyhow. Gift article: wapo.st/4j8d5Uh

I’ve said it before and I’m sure I’ll say it a thousand times more: If you love freedom but don’t care if it applies to everyone, what you actually love is privilege.

The Criminal in Chief is so deplorable.

The crowd and overflow crowd for the Bernie Sanders/AOC event tonight in Utah.

Wow.

I have this radical lefty belief that voting should be easier than buying a gun.

April 13, 2025 This evening, lawyers for the Department of Justice told a federal court that the administration does not believe it has a legal obligation to return Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia to the United States,...

Paraphrased from Heather Cox Richardson’s Letter From An American, to fit into a post.

Let’s be clear about what’s happening here: President Trump is claiming the power to ignore the due process of the law guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution, declare someone is a criminal, kidnap them, send them to prison in a third country and then claim that there is no way to get that person back.

I feel like the fact that Martha Stewart was sent to prison for far less than what Donald Trump and his band of clowns have done and are credibly accused of should be a bigger story.

In case you're wondering...

it's been 17 days since a reporter was added to a Signal group chat where our government officials were sharing war plans.

And nobody has been fired...

Don't stop talking about SignalGate

Republicans just passed a budget that guts Medicaid, SNAP, veterans’ benefits, and free school lunches.

They swore they'd fix the economy—but this sure as hell ain’t it.

The fact that #SCOTUS hasn't yet ruled in Abrego Garcia isn't proof of *how* the justices are going to rule.

But the longer it takes, the more it suggests that there isn't a majority of the Court who views this dispute with the same *urgency* that so many of us do. And that's a problem unto itself.

MSNBC just showed a montage of world leaders calling the USA idiotic, illogical, hostile, unhinged.... literally never seen anything like this. From the shining city on a hill to an object of global derision and contempt.

Breaking, per NBC News @garygrumbach.bsky.social --

Judge Paula Xinis in the District of Maryland has ruled that the United States Government must return Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the United States by April 7 at 11:59p

1) Fox News is for real not showing stock-market ticker during this week's collapse.

2) Its economic news is "strong jobs report."

3) Every time I've checked in today, the coverage has been "illegal immigrants committing new crimes."

This is state propaganda, on a par with North Korea or PRC.

The totalitarian levels of bad faith and disingenuousness from MAGA is funny at one level but also deeply depressing because it’s the foundation for all this and until it cracks, I’m not quite sure how we get out alive.

Mark Kelly: "This is not surprising. Here's a guy who told Americans to inject bleach into their bodies, who sent a mob to Capitol Hill. And now I think it's fair to say he stands out as singlehandedly destroying more wealth with his bad decisions than anybody else who has ever lived on this planet"

It breaks my heart.
