Now that Trump has openly stated he’s going to defy SCOTUS I come back to wondering what Schumer meant by “rise up.” Is it protests? Because those are happening. What is his plan now to fight this as a U.S. Senator, one of the 100 most powerful people in the country?
Schumer: "If he defies the Supreme Court, then we are in uncharted territory ... our entire democracy is at risk. I believe that if Donald Trump should defy the courts, the public will rise up. Democrats will fight it in every single way ... autocrats only succeed if the public lets them."

Trump’s trade chaos is undermining our economy and hurting American families.
If Republicans have their way on tariffs and their huge tax bill, most Americans will see their taxes go up, while those on top get a big break.
We need a trade policy that puts working people first.

In defiance of the Supreme Court & without any evidence, the White House claims that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a “terrorist,” who was “sent to the right place.”
This is a blatant LIE. He is innocent.
He cannot be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. He must be brought home.

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

What we all just witnessed had all the earmarks of a criminal conspiracy to deprive Abrego-Garcia of his constitutional rights, as well as an impeachable offense. The fraud scheme was a phony agreement engineered by the US to have Bukele say he lacks power to return Abrego Garcia and he won't do it.
