Personally, I think it should be front page news for at least a month if a sitting US President is using falsified evidence to try and deny due process to a man who has committed no crime, but that’s just me

Just to be clear, I'm advocating for due process for Kilmar Abrego Garcia
JUST IN: Deputy Assistant to the President and "Counterterrorism Czar" Sebastian Gorka says anyone advocating for due process for Kilmar Abrego Garcia could be viewed as "aiding and abetting a terrorist" and be federally charged. (h/t Philip Germain)

I've been clear: if President Bukele doesn't want to meet here in D.C., then I intend to go to El Salvador this week to check on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's condition and discuss his release.
Kilmar was illegally ABDUCTED and deported by the Trump Admin. He must be brought home NOW.

Before press came in — but while live feed was running on Bukele’s feed — Trump said to him: “home-growns are next. … You’re gonna need to build about 5 more places.”

Many Americans claim the don’t want to spend money on foreign aid because we should be “helping our own people.” Yet, when asked to help our own people, they don’t want to do that either. They actually cheer on these cuts. Selfishness hides behind rugged individualism.

Florida is ending most child labor protections because they’re deporting so many immigrants. If these immigrants are really “taking our jobs”, why do we have to rely on children to replace them? Where are the adults who wanted these jobs?

So, Wednesday afternoon I did probably the scariest thing I’ve ever done. I gave my notice. Friday, May 2, will be my last day of federal employment after nearly 15 years.
I’m hanging my own shingle. I’ll be working on federal employment law, government contracts, and appeals. Call me.

The slow march toward martial law continues.
They will say the Tesla protests justify it. They will say judicial activism justifies it. They will say whatever they think they need to say to keep on board whatever Republicans they think they need to keep on board.
But it was always going to happen.

I really wish Dem strategists would just once go on TV and acknowledge that Trump only won by 1.5% and didn't even get a majority before they start with the tiresome "Democrats have completely lost touch with average Americans etc, etc." That's how you think after a landslide loss not a squeaker.

New, from me:
Trump is whitewashing American history, removing not just people, but also the stories, images, and values to anyone who does not conform to his impoverished vision of America.
