Senator Van Hollen,
Your resistance will pull another brick from this toxic regime.
Mr. Abrego Garcia was illegally abducted by the Trump Admin and, by their own admission, wrongly deported to El Salvador. He shouldn’t have to spend another second away from his family.

I'm flying to El Salvador tomorrow morning to check on his condition and discuss his return.

Right on! And the great Williams & Connolly has stepped up to defend Perkins Coie from the same savage and lawless attack on law and justice. I call on all my fellow lawyers to show such principled courage. If you’re too chicken, then stop calling yourself a lawyer.

The best way to confront a bully about the misinformation he is spreading is to confront him in front of everyone. Macron just did that.

This is an incredible interview by the great Tim Miller. @anneapplebaum.bsky.social offers a sobering perspective.
The shocking nominee-related news nearly every day is a deliberate tactic by Team Trump to dominate the media—and distract and divide us. (Like today's polio vaccine news.)

My response for my client @oliviaoftroye.com to President Trump's nominee for Director of the Federal Bureau Of Investigation (#FBI) #KashPatel's threat of a forthcoming defamation lawsuit.

This is an ominous portent of the coming administration. Apparently his soft skin was injured by her allegedly truthful remarks sufficient to move her to the top of the hit list. Her remarks have been reported elsewhere by senior officials. What’s unique about “her”?FTG
Today, #KashPatel sent a letter to my counsel @markzaidesq.bsky.social threatening to sue & demanding I retract my MSNBC comments on his unfitness to serve as FBI Director. This follows his threats against media & political opponents, showing how he might act if confirmed. I stand by my statements.

Thus spoketh George Santayana..
Recall what happened with the FBI when Nixon politicized it by appointing Patrick Gray director. The rank and file leaked, leaked and leaked up to the assistant director (aka Mark Felt/Deep Throat) level. They destroyed Nixon. Trump is inviting big trouble with Kash Patel.

Stop rewriting history & saying Harris didn't reach out to the working class.

She spoke clearly of:
-doubling minimum wage;
-instituting rules that prevented price gouging at groceries;
-raising taxes on the wealthy, lowering taxes on the poor;
-helping people buy homes;
-supporting union workers.
Democratic leaders & pundits are complaining that Harris did not offer anything to low income workers.

That’s a lie. She supported more than doubling the minimum wage to $15 an hour.

At some point we have to accept something is wrong with the people, not the candidate.

Harris voices support for $15 minimum wage to draw contrast with Trump
Kamala Harris said that she backs hiking the federal minimum wage to at least $15 an hour after blasting Donald Trump for dodging a question about whether he wants to raise it.

Thinking about how the system is rigged against doctors. There’s no chance to strike and collectively bargain. Big money companies; insurers and hospitals know it. We can’t abandon our patients. So they grind us down daily. We dutifully show up for our patients whatever color hat they’re wearing.
