This is the most un-American nonsense
Trump: "Thanks to this decision, we can now promptly file to proceed with numerous policies that have been wrongly enjoined on a nationwide basis, and some of the cases we're talking about would be ending birthright citizenship, which now comes to the fore. That was meant for the babies of slaves."

If the GOP Tax Scheme is so beautiful, then why are they voting on it in the wee hours of the morning? Maybe because it’s irredeemably ugly and cruel.

A very important read #booksky #education
One year after releasing a book about the far-right push to remake education: Oklahoma kids are being taught 2020 election denialism. Millions of Texas kids can now use public money to attend private Christian schools. And the Trump admin has virtually halted enforcement of federal civil rights laws

A 4-year-old and a 7-year-old with U.S. citizenship were deported alongside their mother to Honduras last week, the family’s lawyer said, adding to the recent string of American citizens caught up in the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown.
2 U.S. Citizen Children Were Deported to Honduras With Their Mother, Lawyer Says
The children, 4 and 7, were put on a plane with their mother, who was deported. The family’s lawyer said the mother was given no choice but to take her children, which the Trump administration denied.

We need the best educated workforce in the world.
We need the best teachers in the world.
We need to pay our teachers fairly for the important work they do.
No teacher in America should begin at less than $60,000 a year.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

This is authoritarianism. This is Pinochet, this is Hitler, this Mussolini, this is Stalin. This is happening in our country in 2025.
How is it possible U.S. citizens are being held as illegal aliens in America even after they produce their birth certificate? This is intolerable. www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/...

Juan Carlos Gomez-Lopez is being held even though a county judge found his birth certificate “authentic” and said there wasn’t reason to consider him an “illegal alien.”

Florida: Juan Carlos Lopez-Gomez (20) is being held in the Leon County Jail, charged with illegally entering Florida as an “unauthorized alien."
Lopez-Gomez is a U.S. Citizen, born in the USA. He showed his U.S. birth certificate in court. The judge held him in jail anyway.
This is Fascism.

We were just denied entry into CECOT — the notorious prison in El Salvador where Mr. Abrego Garcia is being illegally held.
We were there for one simple reason: to check on his well-being, which his family and lawyers have not been allowed to do. We won’t stop fighting.

2025’s Eras Tour
Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have drawn huge crowds on their “Fighting Oligarchy” tour, energizing a beaten-down Democratic Party. They've stuck to a simple argument: The system is broken, with the wealthy enriching themselves while others scrape by. nyti.ms/4idcRdb

The American people are paying to have El Salvador detain a Maryland father who has done nothing wrong. People should be in the streets demanding answers.
🚨NEW: Senator Chris Van Hollen says he was just told by El Salvador’s Vice President that Garcia is still imprisoned because “the Trump administration is paying the government of El Salvador to keep him at CECOT.”💥
This is despite him not being a MS-13 gang member nor being charged with a crime.

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia.
I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov it’s only a matter of time before the administration comes for your constituents. All members of Congress need to be screaming from the top of the Rotunda that this is right or the autocrat’s playbook.
Attorneys for Kilmar Abrego Garcia said in new a filing that the Trump admin has not even attempted to get the mistakenly deported man returned to the U.S. — despite orders from a federal judge and the Supreme Court.
"There is no evidence that anyone has requested the release of Abrego Garcia."

Bringing Kilmar home is an act of justice and saving our country. Checks and balances are gone if the executive does not follow SCOTUS’s ruling. Every American needs to push Congress to make Trump bring Kilmar home.
