Trump committed a crime today. Interesting to think about whether even the Court that decided Trump v US would create immunity from a federal statute that by its terms applies criminal liability directly to sitting presidents.

As someone who experienced threats and harassment from armed extremists for over a decade, I have empathy for anyone who feels afraid of retaliation for free speech. But at the end of the day, we all must make a choice: back down or double down.

WATCH: Sen. Van Hollen says he’s headed to El Salvador tomorrow morning to seek the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia—and to hopefully visit him in prison. "I promised his wife and his family that I would do everything I could 24/7 to try to bring him home. And that's why I am going to El Salvador."

So if you’re wondering why we choose to communicate out in the open—it’s not about making a statement. It’s about staying safe. This isn’t new. Remember the ham radio? We’re not reinventing the wheel—we’re just modernizing the resistance of the past.

OMG. Trump saying "Don't be weak and stupid" to the American people is one of the most unpresidential things I've ever heard. It's also pretty hypocritical. 🙄
