Trump Says He’s Powerless to Return Deported Migrant. But He’s Done So Before. President Trump says he is powerless to retrieve a Salvadoran man who was deported because of an administrative error. But he has done so before.

In 2018, the first Trump admin. wrongfully deported an Iraqi man, despite a court order.

The U.S. govt quickly recognized the mistake and worked with the man's attorneys to bring him back.

He was later returned.

My story on the difference from then to now:

Hi - constituent here - wondering what you (and any of your colleagues) are doing to facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the US? What are you doing to hold executive branch accountable to the judicial branch (i.e. SCOTUS)? Calls for impeachment?? Calls for use of US marshals?? Anything?

A tweet by Sarah Longwell (@SarahLongwell25 ) reads: "He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. Don’t you see what’s happening here?"

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

I’m heading to the Senate floor because Donald Trump and Elon Musk have shown a complete disregard for the rule of law, the Constitution, and the needs of the American people. You can tune in on CSPAN, YouTube, X, and Facebook.

Live: Speaking on Trump, Musk, and America’s Moral Moment on the Senate Floor | Senator Cory Booker YouTube video by Senator Cory Booker

I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

Thank you Mr. Booker, for standing up and fighting back! Stay strong and filibuster on! 💪🏻

Time to speak up

Seconding this. If you’ve followed me for any length of time, you know I’ve called out Booker before for not doing shit, but it’s important to also recognize when our electeds are starting to move in the right direction, and encourage them to keep going.

Pete Hegseth must resign or be fired immediately.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

Circling back on this…

BREAKING: A court overturned Ohio's ban on gender-affirming care for transgender youth.

This is a critical victory for trans rights.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.

We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.

They own what happens next.

If Democrats won't act like an opposition party, we will.

Wisconsin man who showed up to support an anti-trans bill does something amazing - Queerty “I have a very little knowledge of gay people and things like that there…” “I have a very little knowledge of gay people and things like that there…”

This elderly man showed up to support an anti-trans bill in my home state and then, because he had to wait hours to testify, he was stuck listening to queer folks rally against it

By the time it was his turn to speak, he'd changed his mind

Never doubt that speaking out can change hearts and minds

If every Senate Democrat said, "we won't let Musk and Trump do what they're doing to famers, to social security, to cancer research and to every American's health without a hell of a fight" and just repeated that, they'd be shocked by how much of America would be on their side.

DON'T GO TO A TESLA DEALERSHIP is good advice

The best time for Senator Schumer and Representative Jeffries to step down from their roles in leadership was immediately after Democrats lost the House, Senate, White House and the popular vote in November, which hadn’t happened in 20 years. The second best time for them to step down would be right now, after allowing Republicans to run over them in budget negotiations. As Republicans hold a trifecta, it was their Party’s responsibility to pass a budget and get the votes to keep the government running, not the Democratic Party. Yet, under the leadership of both Representative Jeffries and Senator Schumer, Democrats are yet again being pushed around by Republicans, which will result in working class Americans being harmed by the Republican Party’s budget. As I travel this country, I hear from people and overwhelmingly, working class Americans are growing frustrated with the feeble leadership of the Democratic Party. People want an end to the billionaire influence over our politics, universal healthcare, tuition-free college, living wages, housing for all, making corporations and the ultra-wealthy pay their fair share of taxes, and a political party that fights for these things. It’s time for, not just a change in leadership, but a new direction.

My statement on the leadership of Senator Schumer and Congressman Jeffries ⬇️

Republicans can't meet their own budget target without cutting Medicare or Medicaid, budget office says The House GOP has ordered the Energy and Commerce Committee, which oversees Medicare and Medicaid funding, to cut $880 billion in a bill to advance Trump's agenda.

The GOP funding bill is a direct attack on working people.

If Democrats won't act like a real opposition party, we need a party that will.

Coward

Republicans’ partisan spending bill turns the federal government into a slush fund for Donald Trump and Elon Musk.

It’s unthinkable that any Senate Democrat would hand them a blank check by voting for cloture.

I have heard she is a judges’ judge. She has been a sounding board for other judges who needed advice on cases.

Wisconsin, you deserve to have a highly competent justice who will uphold the state and US Constitution and not put their thumb on the scale of justice like Schimel would.

Surprise, surprise.

Not a drag queen.

Surprise, surprise.

A pastor, again.

Robert Morris, Texas megachurch pastor and former Trump adviser, indicted for child sex crimes Morris is a former spiritual adviser to President Donald Trump, and Gateway — one of the nation’s largest megachurches — has been particularly active in Dallas-area GOP politics.

So good. Just run this on loop @democrats.org.

The House just passed a funding bill that would provide ICE with a nearly $10 billion blank check to detain and deport immigrant communities with few guardrails.

Senators have the power to stop this cruel waste of taxpayer dollars. They must use that power.

Former Intelligence Officer Claims KGB Recruited Trump Alnur Mussayev alleged Trump was given the codename “Krasnov”.

(📢) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: The Daily Beast publishes a sourced allegation that Trump has been a Russian spy since 1987 and then—possibly under some form of threat—deletes it. But in an act of unusual heroism, it left it up long enough for Wayback Machine to capture it text.
