Van Hollen: I should also just say, I mentioned the fake margarita, they actually wanted to have the meeting by the side of the pool in the hotel. They want to create this appearance that life was just lovely for Kilmar. Which of course is a big, fat lie.

Take this with a grain of salt, but it's not *just* hopecore:

I don't know if we are properly considering how much faster info spreads among avg people than it used to. It was a LOT easier to suppress info before the internet. Back then, many *really* didn't know; today, millions know at a click.

Dear senators who think you can’t do anything,

Today, Senator Van Hollen - through diplomatic pressure - got a meeting with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. So that thing you’re thinking about doing? DO IT.

Black Mirror pitch: POTUS destroys democracy in 90 days.

Everyone watches it happen on their phones.

The opposition party leaders are 85 years old and post "Hey, stop" once a day.

A lot of people seem to think following the U.S. Constitution is optional—like picking which shoes to wear in the morning. It’s not. If you’re within the boundaries of the United States, the Constitution applies to you.
