Historians of the future: Rest assured, millions of us know all this in real time. We are horrified, shocked, enraged, and ashamed. We are acting, in a thousand ways, to oppose it. This cannot, and will not, be how the United States ends. trib.al/0islLh9

Thank God for Rachel Maddow. If not for her inspiration, journalistic integrity, and masterful, historical storytelling, I don’t know that I could breathe during this moment. She makes coping amidst chaos possible. And Lawrence O’Donnell too!

I grew up watching the reenactment of the Battle of Lexington. HCR recounts the history that led up to this momentous morning. So inspiring!

Literally trumped up charges
Bondi is escalating the rhetoric against Abrego Garcia, who she calls "one of the top MS-13 members" and "a terrorist"

Literally trumped up charges
If Kilmar, why not me?should be the thought of every single American. If he’s not safe, none of us are safe.
I've been in El Salvador all day fighting for the return of Mr. Abrego Garcia.
The Trump Administration can lie all they want, but the Court said they failed to show he was part of MS-13. This is about bringing home a man they ADMIT should never have been abducted. I won't rest until then.

Is Kilmar Abrego Garcia alive? Because the amount of resistance to addressing his being trafficked gives the distinct impression that either he is dead or what they have done to him is so unspeakable that they cannot afford for him to be freed, seen, or spoken with.

This is what courage looks like
I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

Grassley gets called out about the administration ignoring the Supreme Court ruling to return Abrego Garcia. But he says we can't do anything about it. Wants to move on to a different topic, but Iowans say hell no.

So, the Trump admin was able to bring astronauts stuck in space back down to earth, but it won’t lift a finger to bring a Maryland dad they “oopsie” imprisoned in a gulag back from El Salvador?
Do I have that just about right?
