i have no doubt that senator van hollen was genuinely concerned for the safety and welfare of abrego garcia BUT ALSO this is what i'm talking about when i say POLITICAL AMBITION. van hollen may well make himself a household name and nationally recognized political figure with this move

A bit long, but highly recommend watching this. This is from a lawyer who has done a lot of research; it comes across as less emotion-based and more…accurate.

I think it’s important to share the truth about the protests today. The world is watching, and I want them to see that America is rising up. We are awake. There is no violence or vandalism, just an incredible thirst for a working democracy. #handsoff

My parents are in town. The last time my dad did a protest was for Vietnam & today we went out for #handsoff. It felt like a historical moment. So good to see so many of us gathering to fight against oligarchy.

This was awesome. I got choked up and inspired. Good for you, @booker.senate.gov. May we all show your strength.

Is he still going?! @booker.senate.gov - this is exactly what many of us have been begging the Democratic Party for. More of an actual opposition. Thank you—we see you.

Any ideas on who the 28 senators could be? We need 28 to band together to remove Schumer. As stated, it’s the first actionable thing democrats could do to regain the support of the people. @georgetakei.bsky.social

When Americans are worried about their social security payments ending & wondering how they’ll eat, while Americans are watching the constitution being desecrated & worrying about civil war, @schumer.senate.gov states that his JOB is to make sure the left is pro-Israel. Read the room, Chuck.

This is an awesome tool. I’ve been calling, too, as I’ve heard that calls get more attention, but this was fast and easy to do in addition to that. #resist #shutitdown
UPDATE: We have now sent over 20,000 emails to Senate Democrats considering voting for Trump's CR.

We're telling them to vote NO on both cloture and final passage.
🚨 NEW: We just launched a one-click email tool to contact all Democratic Senators who are still undecided on the CR.

Contact them and tell them to vote NO here ⬇️

🚨One more time, from the beginning:

🚨The Republicans control the White House, House and Senate.

🚨The GOP AUTHORED the abominable bill.

🚨They will own a government shut down-not the Democrats.

🚨 Call your Democratic senators NOW, and demand that they vote NO.

Here’s the misstep: he’s thinking this is actually about elections in 2026. That’s wrong. Stopping or slowing entrenchment of Trump’s authoritarian agenda is what matters now. Like, right now. Today.

I cannot make this but encourage my fellow New Yorkers who can to go. Let's apply some pressure.

If @schumer.senate.gov plans to abandon us tomorrow, then I support this whole-heartedly.
AOC should announce a primary against Schumer tonight.
