This statement from Vance really got to me. The gaslighting. The xenophobia and racism. The scapegoating. The brazenness of the lying. It left me feeling angry and helpless at the time.

I really want them to do this. Yes, it's gross, and a tremendous waste of money. But I think the image of Trump claiming tribute from America's armed forces won't go down well. Americans increasingly see him as dictator. The military parade for him reinforces that.

The fight for democracy is here. It's not about the individual Abrego Garcia. It's about our constitutional rule of law. SCOTUS said bring him back. If the regime gets away with ignoring that then there is no rule of law. If Democrats won't stand up now why should we trust they'll fight at all?

The judge's question in the Abrego Garcia should become a rallying cry over the next few days: "Where is he? Where is Kilmar Abrego Garcia?"

Trump finally living up to his claims. No president has ever accomplished results like this in less than 100 days, say voters with tears in their eyes.

A Canadian composer is stopped at the border and denied entry to the US for no apparent reason. He missed his scheduled appearance at Carnegie Hall. The comments on his Insta post from his countrymen directed toward the US are heartbreaking.

It gets worse - the National Endowment of the Arts is also doing away with funding for outreach to minority communities and is only funding "patriotic" programming going forward.
