A federal judge has ordered a hearing to determine whether the criminal case against Kilmar Abrego Garcia stems from a vindictive prosecution, citing evidence that it may be. Thank you!

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

His last spoken word before being shot was "violence".

Horrific to hear that Charlie Kirk was shot today in Utah. Political violence must be always and totally rejected. Praying for him and all who may have been injured or impacted.

Wow. Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. just single-handedly ruled that Congress doesn’t really control the purse strings. This is becoming a massive crisis for checks and balances and the separation of powers.

Let me be clear:

Charlie Kirk was an odious person whose divisive and inaccurate rhetoric inflamed people and had dangerous consequences.

Having said that...

HE. DID. NOT. DESERVE. TO. BE. SHOT.

Political violence is NEVER appropriate.

MAGA’s really out in full force today, guess we struck a nerve. Lots of comments like “liberals don’t know anything about respect” and “Trump was just showing respect to Putin.” Uh huh… respect for who exactly? Putin? Russia? Yeah, no! We’re good.

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

The Trump administration fired Librarian of Congress Dr. Carla D. Hayden as part of their sweeping book ban efforts. One of the titles removed? Freckleface Strawberry, a children’s book about self-acceptance. Seriously, who gets offended by that?

Rome has a pope who listens to Jesus.

Washington has a president who listens to Putin.
