Today I introduced the No Political Enemies Act, with a powerhouse group of co-sponsors, to put in law protections for prosecution or harassment for political speech.
Trump is shamelessly exploiting the death of Charlie Kirk to try to destroy his opposition. We cannot let him.

This is pathological conduct.
"How are you dealing with this tragedy and the loss of a friend?"
"Look, I have a new toy. Did you see my new toy? It's the best toy. It's my toy."

Q: My condolences on the loss of your friend Charlie Kirk. How are you holding up?
TRUMP: I think very good. And by the way, right there you see all the trucks. They just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they've been trying to get for about 150 years.

Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.

Two years ago, we invited all 100 senators to work in the fields. Only two of them accepted: Alex Padilla and Cory Booker.

It’s very simple. Trump can do it. But he won’t. The question that MAGA refuses to deal with is the obvious reason why he won’t.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

This face saving move by the Trump administration will backfire. We will soon learn the evil details of what these people have endured while they were illegally imprisoned at CECOT.
Amazing AP image from Ariana Cubillos of Arturo Suárez, a Venezuelan musician sent to CECOT, walking off the plane. (Identified to me by a relative.)
“We spent four months without any contact with the outside world,” Suárez told teleSUR today. “We were kidnapped.”
