If the case against Kilmar Abrego Garcia is so iron clad and simple, then it ought to be very easy to prove that by bringing him back, giving him due process, and winning in court.

My name is Ben and I have autism.
I’m not less than anyone else I just see
the world differently. Lately I’ve been
working on losing weight by walking.
I walked 5 miles yesterday. It’s also
helps with my confidence and I can
enjoy the outdoors and the scenery.

Van Hollen: I should also just say, I mentioned the fake margarita, they actually wanted to have the meeting by the side of the pool in the hotel. They want to create this appearance that life was just lovely for Kilmar. Which of course is a big, fat lie.

I’ve been suggesting on TV and podcasts—without actual evidence(!)—that it may turn out that DOJ will wind up not having enough lawyers to defend all the lawsuits challenging this administration’s illegal conduct.

Turns out it seems already to be true. 👉

Republicans are too chickenshit to hold town halls. Shocker.

Here’s an idea: Democrats, hold town halls in Republican districts.

The Instincts of an Arsonist Sensible leaders understand their job is to put out fires. One man only wants to watch everything burn.

For some reason, it seems important to recall this:

"He delights in seeing things burn. He likes destruction. Fixing things is hard; destroying them is much easier."

"Finding solutions...demands expertise, interest, a desire to learn and make things better."

Given the toxic swirl of narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that has enveloped the country, I’ve never been more pessimistic about its future.

And it’s not even about FFOTUS. He could choke on a cheeseburger tomorrow—a fate no cheeseburger would deserve—and I’d feel the same way.

Rich man to be charged with stopping the government from wasting money is angry that the government isn't wasting money on his company.

Nothing to see here. No, no conflict of interest. Nothing.
