Trump told us the plan today: The Trump administration wants the prison in El Salvador — and, perhaps, others — to hold Americans.

Importantly, Vance, Rubio, and Bondi did not appear surprised or upset by this news — in fact, it did not appear to be news to them at all. This is the plan.

Trump told us the horrifying reason why Kilmar Abrego Garcia is not back in the U.S.
The Trump administration wants to send Americans to foreign prisons. Keeping Abrego Garcia in El Salvador is key to that lawless plan.

This is beyond reckless. With measles cases spreading across TX and the U.S., we need scientists at the table, not folks pushing conspiracy theories. RFK Jr. is playing games with people’s lives.

NEW from me: With House Republicans passing a partisan, damaging continuing resolution that gives Donald Trump and Elon Musk free rein to continue to strangle appropriated spending, Senate Democrats have to decide whether they will actively participate in their institution's own destruction.

I think my biggest problem with the "debate" over whether Democrats should abandon trans people is how divorced from reality it is.

Republicans are banning gender-affirming care because they think kids are being rushed into surgeries. THIS IS NOT HAPPENING.
