Booker is one of a few senators who have really been stepping up. Team democracy has been sadly short on heroes lately. We need more of this.
“I rise tonight because I believe sincerely that our country is in crisis.”
We do too, Senator Booker, we do too. Thank you for standing up as a reminder that this is not normal.

I’ll repeat it for the people in the back, the orange felon and MAGA regime are actively trying to hide the Epstein files as well as block public release of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s findings in the Mar-a-Lago classified docs case.
In short, he’s a criminal and guilty AF.

The GOP’s silence on Trump’s unlawful actions isn’t just deafening—it’s complicity.
As a co-equal branch of government, they have a duty to hold him accountable. Instead, their inaction enables his abuse of power.
Republicans haven’t just been enablers—they’ve now Trump’s accomplices!

People need to be crystal clear about something: The requirement that the government ANSWER to a court on the legal basis for detaining someone is literally the core liberty right (habeas corpus). If the government says they don’t have to do that bc “national security,” YOU can be disappeared.

Trump called them criminals
And shipped them to prison in El Salvador-without any regard for their Constitutional rights
But some family members say their deported relatives have no criminal records
Now-because of a lawless president
They’ll be doing hard labor for G-d knows how long

That kind of freedom is worth fighting for and protecting.
If only all people could enjoy that same freedom.

Went with my son to @chrislhayes.bsky.social book event tonight (Chicago). It felt like a social movement was born, and he led it. People just stood up and clapped forever. When he said, "Don't give up," I falsely denied having tears in my eyes. Thank you. Can't wait to read THE SIRENS' CALL.

Our Secretary of Defense almost certainly has more threatening/extremist tattoos and has more credibly been accused of sexual assault than almost all of the people being sent to El Salvador. No exaggeration.
