Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously
But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state
Keep that same energy of support for her

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

Don't mess with librarians! The staff the LoC refused to let DOJ staffers sent by the new acting librarian Todd Blanche to enter the building! They called the Capital Police and their GC. They said they recognize the deputy librarian as being in power until they hear otherwise from Congress! 🔥🔥🔥

Dear senators who think you can’t do anything,
Today, Senator Van Hollen - through diplomatic pressure - got a meeting with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. So that thing you’re thinking about doing? DO IT.

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.

I'm no lawyer, but it seems like discussing war plans in Signal outside a SCIF is maybe just a little bit worse than using a private server to send emails that weren't even marked as classified. But what do I know.

Over 79 million people are covered by Medicaid.
And the House GOP’s plans to gut Medicaid would hurt nearly every community in America.

When the American ports were closed to the "coffin ships" of Ireland, the port at Quebec welcomed the orphans of the famine.
It is why you see the Irish flag flying proudly to this day in Montreal and Quebec.
It is a bond that built our nation.
