Most of the country has moved on from this story

While hundreds of immigrants rot in El Salvadoran because the Trump administration violated their due process rights

UNACCEPTABLE
Today Republicans blocked our bill to hold the Trump Admin and the government of El Salvador accountable for their conspiracy to violate due process rights of people living in the U.S.

This isn't just about Mr. Abrego Garcia — this is about defending the rights of ALL. Shameful.

It’s 2 am and we’re still marking up massive cuts to Medicaid.

While their constituents are asleep, Republicans are trying to take away health care from 13.7 million people to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.

They want you to tune out. Don’t ⬇️

Menendez Jr: They feel no weight of the law and no restraint on what they should be doing. And that was shown in broad daylight today when they not just arrested the Mayor of Newark but when they put their hands on two members of congress standing behind me. How is this acceptable?

I am outraged by the unjust arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka earlier this afternoon outside of Delaney Hall in Newark.

I am calling for his immediate release by federal law enforcement.

I taught a US citizenship class to South Sudanese refugees in Nebraska, 2006-2007. Fleeing civil war, they worked arduous jobs at a meat packing plant. Many had no literacy in any language.

But they studied hard for a citizenship exam which many native-born Americans would not be able to pass.

Sane-Washing Signalgate

USAToday called it a “Relatable Fail”.

I'll say again what Elon Musk and Donald Trump are doing to the United States is a betrayal of the highest order. It's a war. The intentional destruction of an entire nation. The total demolition of our institutions and its essential services.

The headline is Pete Hegseth posted battle plans in a chat with The Atlantic

But Vance, Rubio-and several unnecessary persons-were also in the discussion

And the CIA Director disclosed the identity of an active intelligence officer-which in itself could be a crime

All on a commercial texting app
Gift link for the non-Atlantic subscribers about how... I mean, the headline pretty much says it all, Trump's national security team included the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic in a Signal chat about its plans for bombing Yemen.
