Everything is a “redistribution of wealth” — the only question is which direction it’s heading in.
Stop letting them convince you the only valid direction is from the bottom to the top. They’ve been selling that snake oil for decades.

Every elected Republican should be asked if they think the president has the power to send in military in to “liberate” a state or city from its elected government.

Imagine if Democratic lawmakers went and took photos of themselves in front of the insurrectionists in their prison cells. Except there had been no trials, and those people were being tortured and huddled together like animals at a slaughterhouse.

PAYING THE GOVERNMENT OF EL SALVADOR TO KEEP HIM AT CECOT
Van Hollen says that he asked the VP of El Salvador why his government continues to hold Abrego Garcia even though he’s not charged with any crime and there’s no evidence that he’s MS-13.
“His answer was that the Trump administration is paying the government of El Salvador to keep him at CECOT”

Tomorrow, we expect Trump is going to sign an Executive Order claiming to dissolve the U.S. Department of Education.
Reminder: Trump does not have the legal authority to destroy a cabinet department; reporting on the EO as if he does have that power is both inaccurate and unethical.

Pro tip: if your senator's/congressperson's DC office doesn't answer or their mailbox is full, call their regional offices.
Most senators have six regional offices. Just google your senator and you'll find it on their website.
Keep calling until you get a person or can leave a message.
