The arrest of a judge in Wisconsin today is a clear intimidation tactic and a direct attack on the Constitution. Which Republicans will be brave enough to defend the Constitution over an unchecked executive branch running wild?

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.

If enough Senators unite together, they have as much power as the President. Teach 47 what three co-equal branches means. Senators, we’re counting on you!

96.8% of the residents in Nancy Mace ‘s district are U.S. citizens. Why is she so eager to pass the SAVE Act and disenfranchise 69 million women who are US citizens but took their husband’s name when they married? SAVE is anti-women and anti-American.#NancyMace #SAVE #VoterSuppression

Yesterday the Trump administration admitted they deported a Maryland dad to El Salvador due to an "administrative error".
That doesn't just speak to their raging incompetence — it shows their total disregard for due process and basic rights:

I just called Nancy Mace’s office and asked if the Congresswoman upholds the Constitution of the United States. The employee who answered replied that she could not speak for the Congresswoman. #NancyMace #HR1526 #ProtectTheConstitution

Really feel like I’m losing my mind: government OBVIOUSLY cannot punish an individual law firm for hiring someone it disfavors! It’s ludicrously unconstitutional and I feel like without a day of law school I could argue the case. And yet the best paid lawyers in the country are folding?

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.
Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

They’re not going to get out of this by playing semantics.
Sending detailed information about an upcoming military strike on unclassified channels (and even to the wrong guy) is wrong, reckless, and obviously a threat to American troops.
