Dear El Salvador President Bukele,

Does your offer to accept and imprison convicted criminals from the United States include felons currently not incarcerated?

Asking for 70 million law-abiding American voters...

The news keeps saying "accept" and "house" deportees and that's an unconscionable to deceptive way to say: El Salvador wants the US to pay them & ship them criminalized American citizens & non-citizens alike to work and die as slaves in El Salvadoran prisons, which Trump & Rubio want to make happen

Trump is creating chaos while ridiculous Senate confirmations go under the public radar.

Trump froze air traffic control hirings when they had a deficit of 3000+. Two people were handling the job of 4. Hmmm. I wonder if that could've been the problem?🤔 #AmericanEagle5342 #Trumpchaos

If the FAA director got fired over a business beef AND there was an air traffic controller hiring freeze despite huge shortages AND a chaotic blitz to hollow out federal bureaucracy, and then within a week the first American airliner crashes in 16 years, you would be insane not to talk about it all.

Washington – Lambda Legal and the Human Rights Campaign today announced their intent to sue the Trump administration to block implementation of yet another discriminatory and dangerous attempt to bar patriotic transgender military service members from serving openly in the U.S. armed services.

NEW: On Monday evening, President Donald Trump took direct aim at nondiscrimination and diversity in the military in a pair of executive orders that include a discriminatory provision declaring transgender people unfit for military service.

Tonight, at Law Dork: www.lawdork.com/p/trump-mali...
Trump maligns trans service members, diversity, learning in discriminatory EOs
Those were just some of Trump's final moves in a day apparently aimed at wrecking American government and harming those who rely on federal grants or foreign aid.

alternatively you could say what i said: "we will primary the shit out of you and make sure you no longer represent Minnesota if you compromise with Republicans on this blatant bigotry."
if your senator's a democrat, try the script below. it’s got a bail out written in. play with it. you’ll get an intern. be polite.

no dem cosponsors so far. but dems often cast cowardly votes & need to know it won't hurt them to stand with trans people. see ⬇️🧵

Among the many executive orders Trump signed on his first day in office, his attack on transgender people could affect people's access to safe(r) housing and gender-affirming care.

Trump’s Order Takes Aim at Transgender People in Prison
Few trans people receive gender-affirming housing and care in the federal prison system. This executive order would make it even harder.
