When we have a government where raw power, grievance, and corruption reign supreme–nobody's rights are safe.

Please read this from Senator Murphy and then urge your elected officials to do everything in their power to bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia home.
Bone chilling.

A court ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia to stay in the United States.

The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that he was illegally removed. Trump is pretending he won the ruling 9-0.

1/ You may not think this case means anything to you. But let me tell you why it does.

Trump’s commerce secretary Howard Lutnick says if Social Security skipped a check, his mother-in-law wouldn’t complain—and if you would, it indicates you are probably a fraudster. Insane.

At what point do we realize that asking Schumer (and many but not all Dems) to actually confront this hostile takeover of our government is as absurd as Schumer (and many but not all Dems) thinking Republicans will see the light and do so?
WATCH: Schumer says "our democracy will be at stake" if Trump disobeys the Supreme Court—but "we're not there yet."

SOTU seats are not assigned. There are general seating areas for each body (House, Senate, SCOTUS,etc) but there are honored seats for each party’s leadership and they’re even trying to squat those.

If it doesn’t sort out, be aware you may see applause on both sides of the aisle but they may be GOP

Murphy: "We need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate. Ds should not be giving votes to nominee or legislation in the Senate until Rs get serious about this crisis"

It’s all theatrics and performative.

Trump creates the problem or challenge.

Trump then offers a fake fix or solution to the fake problem or challenge.

Trump sycophants then cheer him as a genius and a political leader and problem-solver for the ages.

Rinse and repeat.

Theatrics. That’s it.

NEW: Sources tell my office that Treasury Secretary Bessent has granted DOGE *full* access to this system. Social Security and Medicare benefits, grants, payments to government contractors, including those that compete directly with Musk's own companies. All of it.

In plain English: Republicans in Congress plot more severe budget cuts to health care, nursing homes, and school lunches to pay for tax breaks for billionaires like Elon Musk.

It sounds absurd, but it’s true.
