“Americans are being forced to accept masked paramilitary forces stopping you anytime, anywhere—demanding to know where people are from,” says @chrislhayes.bsky.social. “It is an assault on the idea of America itself.”

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.

Bone chilling.

A court ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia to stay in the United States.

The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that he was illegally removed. Trump is pretending he won the ruling 9-0.

Actually no. There are no questions about this. A court order is a court order.

You want to talk about fraud, waste, and abuse? Well, here you have it.

The American public didn't vote for Donald Trump so he could hand over billions in taxpayer dollars to his biggest donor.

This is corruption of the highest order.

Elon Musk & DOGE are threatening our national security with their recklessness.

They are unqualified to handle classified information if it’s going to end up online and put American lives and billions of dollars in critical national security investments at risk.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.
