I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

Hasn't the US always celebrated other people's suffering? Native Americans massacred, African American enslaved and tortured, Hispanics deported and tortured, etc. It's ingrained in our history. I long for the day where love is celebrated and hate is destroyed

NEW: @aclu.org obtained ICE's "Alien Enemies Act Validation Guide," confirming all it takes to be sent to rot in prison in El Salvador is being Venezuelan and 1) having a tattoo an ICE officer says is a "gang tattoo" and 2) displaying "logos," "symbols" or clothes an ICE officer says are gang signs.

Jessica Aberโ€™s death feels like a story meant to fade into the background โ€”tragic headline that people are supposed to forget.

But when career prosecutor who spent her life chasing Russian cybercriminals, CIA leaks, and war criminals turns up dead weeks after resigning, forgetting isnโ€™t an option

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up.

Tomorrow is the cloture vote.

KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 โ˜Ž๏ธโ˜Ž๏ธโ˜Ž๏ธ

Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill.

Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.

Hakeem I disagree with you because I havenโ€™t seen were the Democrats are fighting for our DEMOCRACY and our FREEDOMS. Seem to me all of yโ€™all are just sitting there and wringing your hands. Al Green, AOC and Jasmine Crockett are fighters and should be the leaders not you or Schumer. U R LOSING!

Scoop: House Democratic leaders privately confront Trump speech disruptors Roughly a dozen Democrats were called into what one source described as a "come to Jesus" meeting.

Jeffries must recognize that the rules of the game have changed. Heโ€™s fighting for decorum that Rs abandoned years ago. Worse, Rs recognize it and are able to play both sides, using โ€œdecorumโ€ against Ds when convenient.

Itโ€™s too late to change your strategy, coach. Itโ€™s time for new leadership.
