Did you know that there's not even a deportation order for Mr. Abrego? Further, a DHS employee signed a declaration that he didn't even write and just admitted it in court? And that Costa Rica just proved the declaration was BS? Lot's going on! www.youtube.com/live/d5-PROg...

@jeff-merkley.bsky.social I'm hearing discussion about talks to reopen gov't. Of course that's the goal, for all the obvious reasons, but please do not agree unless: ACA subsidies are made permanent, they restore all funding that was rescinded. Plus everything Tues showed we want you to fight for.

Horrible, horrible images from Portland:
It was a beautiful Sunday in Portland. Farmer’s markets, the Portland Marathon, peaceful protests, and some views of Mt. Hood. This city is vibrant, peaceful, and resilient. We do not need a federal occupation, and we sure as hell don’t want one.

Blackhawk helicopters have been flying over our house on north-south routes, non-stop, for the past six days. This is not ok! ICE agents pepper-spraying a peaceful protester in the face at point-blank range is not ok! What ICE is doing in Chicago is not ok! What the White House is doing is not ok!
