Trump and Bukele claim they can't release anyone from CECOT

BUT THEY ALREADY HAVE: at least 9 detainees El Salvador released back to the US in the last 3 months

NINE other people freed. Why not Abrego Garcia, who's there on an "administrative error"?

Anyone else watching the superb #commonsideeffects on Max?
Off-beat, smart, and very well acted, plus terrific quirky animation style. I don't think they've hyped this show at all, but if you like shows like #scavengersreign you'd like this one!

THIS is why FAA probed SpaceX for safety

And THIS is why Musk has been trying to kill FAA - and why he should NOT get any more govt contracts

Had a dream last night that I called Durbin's office, but the signal broke up, and his staffer thought it was bc I had a medical emergency, so she called an ambulance for me...which I had to pay for.

Anyway, call your reps about budget negotiations today.
Capitol switchboard: (202) 224-3121
If you're in IL and can only call ONE representative tomorrow, make it Durbin. He has consistently voted as if bipartisan solutions are possible.

They aren't anymore.
If he refuses to act like it, I'll at least give him a courtesy 'heads up' before he inevitably gets primaried.
