Trump’s costly military response wasn’t about safety. He’s stoking fear, violence and chaos. @padilla.senate.gov saw it firsthand.
Members of Congress have a right to conduct oversight & demand answers. Trump’s intimidation tactics won’t stop us.

We never had to worry about the U.S. military being used against our own country when Biden was president.
But that’s exactly what’s happened under both Trump administrations.

Republicans in Congress have done a lot wrong, but their unforgivable political sin, in my book, is their conscious decision that making every American's life worse is an acceptable price to pay for not being primaried.
They know what Trump is doing to America, and it doesn't matter to them.

the tariffs help no one and make the gop agenda much more difficult in just about every way.
but no republican will tell trump that. at least, not in a way he has to listen to.

Is the consensus among mainstream journalists that the White House slandering a man they delivered into slavery using a crudely manipulated photo in the president’s grasp in the Oval Office is just not a very newsworthy event?

I still can’t figure out when “we can deport you” turned into “we can put you in a hell hole prison in a third country, indefinitely, with no legal recourse.”

The president is asserting an unreviewable power to seize any person off the street and ship him to a dungeon abroad. Nobody can say this is an overreaction or alarmism or "TDS" when this is literally what the administration is doing right now.
