this is such good news. i think it is also an opportunity for democrats to state forthrightly that when they win power again everyone responsible for this crime will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law and will face the american people to answer for their lawlessness
I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Every lawmaker needs to go on record: Do you support using immigration status as a weapon against political dissent?
Green card holders have due process rights—the president can’t just strip someone’s status bc they don’t like what they say. This is unconstitutional & authoritarian, full stop.

DHS confirms that it arrested Mahmoud Khalil, a former Columbia University graduate student. They say that ICE arrested him in coordination with the State Department in order to enforce President Donald Trump's executive order to deport student protesters.

I've been thinking a lot about that bumper sticker which says "everything looks like a conspiracy theory when you don't understand how anything works" and folks it's pretty obvious to me that the people in power right now have absolutely no desire to understand how anything works.

So let's talk about WHY Mexico's egg industry has been stable- while US egg prices are through the roof!
1. Mexico puts people in jail for price-fixing.
2. Mexico lets farmers vaccinate their chickens against bird flu.
