I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

This is from 2017 but it's going around today and it's newly extra relevant: octogenarian Holocaust survivor Bernard Marks in Sacramento tells a local sheriff and (now) ICE chief Tom Homan "history is not on your side."
Sing it, Mr. Marks. (He died in 2018 but he'd still want us to listen.)

The United States government is sending people from our country to a concentration camp in El Salvador without due process or hope for release. It’s really important for everyday people to realize that if you truly believe in “never again,” never again is right now.
Sometimes it is important to say things very clearly and directly, so I wrote this.

We are watching @maddow.msnbc.com and this beginning is funny but mostly infuriating. She was going over the HR McMaster phone call and my husband bursts out “they can’t even make a phone call!”

3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie).
Turns out he also just eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Program, and now lead poisoned children in Milwaukee are just on their own. Lead IS a neurotoxin and harms brain development

CDC denies help for lead poisoning in Milwaukee schools due to layoffs
The CDC rejected a request for help "due to the complete loss" of their lead poisoning experts.

This pointless stunt by Cory Booker is accomplishing nothing but drawing attention to the Trump administration’s wrongdoing and delaying the work of the Senate and energizing the Democratic base and, wait, hang on, let me come in again

They are arresting people on the streets, terminating their visas, and disappearing them for writing things they disagree with. This is where we are. Two months in. Right now. If you think they won’t begin coming after citizens soon, you are mistaken.

Time to focus on Marco Rubio's role as a chief Trump enabler. Rubio is helping execute some of Trump's worst designs: Terminating program tracking Ukrainian kids, deporting people to foreign gulags, wrecking USAID, arrests with zero due process.

Trump’s Most Dangerous Enabler Is Not Who You Think It Is

@schumer.senate.gov you’re a coward. This is a terrible spending bill and, for all intents and purposes, you are letting Elon Musk continue to ransack the government if you let this pass. Show some fight, for gods sake. So freaking disappointing
