Speaking now from El Salvador, Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) says he was denied access to Kilmar Abrego Garcia by El Salvador leaders. And was denied a phone call to him

Van Hollen: "The Trump Administration is lying about Abrego Garcia"

Not a single person out of 18 of the very most senior officials in this Admin β€” including the Director of National Intelligence and the CIA Director β€” voiced any concern with highly classified military plans circulated on Signal.

You also can be sure this is not the only time.

It will take everything we have to get him out of power and years to rebuild trust and the rule of law afterwards. This is what we mean when we say elections have consequences.

The Constitution is clear: the President can't arrest people he disagrees with.

By detaining Mahmoud Khalil β€” a legal permanent resident whose American wife is 8-months pregnant β€” Donald Trump seeks to undermine basic freedoms.

We must oppose this move toward authoritarianism.

What Trump/Vance did today by attacking Zelensky using Putin's talking points would be like in 1940 FDR openly mocking Winston Churchill using Hitler's talking points as the Nazis bombed London. This was TREASONOUS!

DOGE lists 1,125 canceled contracts, claiming $7.2 billion in savingsβ€”but many were already completed, meaning no money was actually saved. In fact, 417 contracts saved $0, and another 51 added up to less than $1 million.

Misinformation spreads fastβ€”sharing to set the record straight.

The US Dept of State has changed what used to be a section for LGBTQ travelers to just LGB travelers. They are no longer recognizing trans and queer Americans 


Travel.State.Gov U.S.DEPARTMENT of STATE--- BUREAU of CONSULAR AFFAIRS 
Travel.State.Gov > International Travel > Before You Go > Travelers with Special Considerations > LGB Travel Information 

LGB Travelers 
LGB travelers can face special challenges abroad. Laws and attitudes in some countries may affect safety and ease of travel. Many countries do not recognize same-sex marriage. Many countries also do not recognize the X gender marker in passports and do not have IT systems at ports of entry that can accept sex markers other than female and male. About 70 countries still consider consensual same-sex relations a crime. In some of these countries, individuals who engage in same-sex sexual relations may face severe punishment.

Want a great slogan for midterms?
"If you FAFO and are struggling because of Trump policies, we understand. The Dems are here for you. Tell us how we can help you "

You get the point.

FAFO will be the theme. Be the solution.

His words and enduring wisdom are needed now more than ever.
