Sen. Van Hollen: "[Trump] and his administration are defying a court order to give Abrego Garcia his due process rights. They are trying to litigate on social media what they should be doing in the courts. They need to put up or shut up in the courts."

Kilmar Abrego Garcia

The Supreme Court 9-0 says to facilitate his return.

The Executive branch says that's not going to happen.

I hope he makes it home alive

We all now live in a nation in which people get disappeared.

This is the moment we should probably stop pretending.

15 years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment.

Today, billionaire political spending is up 160-fold since that ruling.

Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

"The left went too far" in contemporary U.S. politics is almost always a lie and a very convenient way to rationalize moral failure. For example, "MeToo went too far" replaces "I do not care about sexual violence or its victims and I don't want to have to even feel bad about that"
