Kilmar Abrego Garcia is officially free, and a federal judge blocked the Trump regime and ICE from detaining him after his release.

This is a great win for our legal system and justice.

Each victory should be celebrated along with all those fighting for our immigrant communities.

Absolutely surreal to watch White House reporters ask Leavitt questions about tariffs moments after she and Gabbard used this briefing to baselessly accuse Obama of crimes punishable by death. We’re a sick joke of a country.

You know how broken our political system is when a man who’s clearly deranged holds the highest office and the people who could remove him from that office continue to support him with gusto.

I’m heading to Michigan on Friday with @captmarkkelly.bsky.social for a town hall in MI-10.

Their Republican rep backed Trump’s dangerous bill that gutted Medicaid & made gun silencers easier to get. We look forward to joining Michiganders to call out the harm Trump is doing to our country.

Taking a long weekend vacation starting today ✌️ I fully expect to land to news that the rapture has occurred, followed by aliens invading the US. But in any event news posts will be a bit more sporadic for a few days. Have a good one.

“We should remember Trump’s aggressive response to that day as the actions of an anti-democratic authoritarian determined to control the narrative…silence dissent from anyone who questioned what happened and deny the public the ability to assess the truth.”
